Pretty clear-headed description of how a treasonous SCOTUS and every spineless, complicit GOP congressperson have let 47 destroy the American Experiment. That roar you hear is all the founders and framers spinning in their graves.... theconversation.com/congress-is-...

How is this legal? Betting on sports invites criminal activity that skews results. Bettors are harmed financially, people are threatened and harmed if they don't go along. That's it. Betting on elections skews outcomes that harm EVERYONE! BAN ELECTION BETTING! www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
This isn't just a slogan, it's a matter of survival. Competition works fine for the lower species because they can only have so much effect on others. Our intellect is now sufficient to affect ALL OTHER CREATURES FOREVER. Competition will kill us. Cooperation and collaboration saves us.
I’m so happy to see and meet all my new friends on BlueSky! I look forward to interacting with you all here! It’s going to be hard to build the following from scratch, but I’m excited to do it! #community #stickers
Liking the "kinds of users on Bluesky" thread, but I say turnabout is fair play. Here's my five kinds of users on Xitter entry: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vpxz...
The struggle for accessibility is a small glimpse of humanity's larger plight. We compete WITH EACH OTHER. It's lizard-brain programming. But we're now finding the limits of our ecosystem. We WILL NOT SURVIVE if we continue to marginalize some. We ALL thrive, or we perish. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.
Unpopular take: I want there to be as much energy going into physical accessibility as there is going into digital accessibility. I don't want new software or AI tools hyped to me until we can get ramps, handrails, and accessible toilets. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY.

The SCOTUS is primarily to blame for this. It is wildly absurd to think the framers of the Constitution fought a Revolutionary War to free us from a king, only to INTENTIONALLY grant our president the power - and freedom from prosecution - of a king. No amount of legalese can erase that absurdity.
This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.

1) Holy crap.... Using AI is NOT a skill. It's the abdication of skills. It's designed so any dumbass can use it, with the assumption that many dumbasses will - and generate profits for AI providers, in exchange for output that has little real value. www.usatoday.com/story/life/h...

1) “Yet today, the DOJ has accused her falsely of a crime on the say-so of politicians, not on the facts. It’s no coincidence the government is filing these nonsense charges now, years later, on the eve of an election.” apnews.com/article/bide...
Holy crap. This is like playing a strategy game with a 6-year-old. Only we're letting the 6-year-old win TO OUR GREAT DETRIMENT. Who's smarter - the 6-year-old, or the grown-ups? It's not a rhetorical question - WHO'S SMARTER?!?!? WHO'S IN CHARGE?????
The time to determine whether Dan J. Sullivan Jr. could appear on the Alaska ballot for U.S. Senate was months ago, and Alaska courts did so. What's additionally batshit about this is that the candidates' names are printed on the ballot in a way which makes abundantly clear who's who.
Anyone remember Bobby Jindal, the GOP governor of Louisiana, who handily undid his own career by saying, "We need to stop being the stupid party"? I do. And apparently some in the GOP didn't get the memo. Arrogance and desperation can both result in stupidity. time.com/article/2026...

"No private individual should, or indeed even have the capability to, make national security policy." We give massive, global-scale power to individuals thinking the stakes are so high they won't be evil. Ponder that Checks and balances exist for a reason. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-time-t...
Musk claims to act with "radical honesty". He thinks he's among the most ethical people in the world. The problem is that he thinks he gets to define those terms. HE DOES NOT. Extreme wealth breeds extreme arrogance. What needs to be throttled is wealth disparity from under-regulated capitalism.

What Vance is saying is that Republicans need to abandon their last remaining remnants of decency, remove the hip waders and embrace the worst of the disgusting stench that will surely cement their power. The highest holiness is assholiness. If you think you've gone low GO DEEPER! Think Hitler.
NEW: On Wednesday, JD Vance, the most prominent Catholic in American politics, defended a $4 million ad that calls a survivor of childhood sexual abuse a liar. He told Republicans to “stop whining” about it.

I don't believe in religion, I rely on FACTS. That DOES NOT mean I want to revoke others' freedom to believe, but let's get one thing straight: When your belief means your cup runneth over with stupid and you try to FORCE that stupid on me, WE HAVE A PROBLEM! Too much of faith is FALSE CERTAINTY.
Our Christian family’s new version of the Bible no longer has the Lord endorsing slavery. Now, He endorses “servants.” There, all better. Glory!

SO MANY so-called Christians live out their faith taking the Lord's name in vain. The KKK was AND STILL IS a 'Christian' organization. Same with white nationalists. 'Christians' who support Israel's war support genocide. 'Christians' who hate Muslims as terrorists haven't read the bible.
“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks. “I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare. “I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status. “What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus
Executives thinking they know better than their technical talent has been a primary dysfunctional element of business since business has existed. Before, the worst outcome was the business collapsed. Now we're talking about THE LITERAL END OF HUMANITY. Are we humans truly too stupid to live?
Ignoring advice to secure and monitor your sandboxes during testing then blaming it on your AI being so smart that it’s a threat to humanity is nasty work
And WHY has this happened? Because our version of capitalism allows the wealthy to HEAVILY influence our govt at all levels, literally paying elected officials to legislate and enforce to favor the wealthy. Our democracy is corrupt. One Person, One Vote rarely overrides the money that controls us.

Note the list of assets. That's who WE ALL NEED TO BOYCOTT! Yes, I know Comedy Central is on that list, and CC hosts The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. I'll forgive you for watching that. But you KNOW it'll be gone when its contract expires, just like Colbert. Jon will go down SHREDDING Skydance!

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.
BREAKING: U.S. employers added a disappointing 29,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% ahead of the November midterms.

Newsom got a lot of flack here for 'vetoing' a bill on pervert glasses. He actually sent it back for better clarity. NONE of the articles I saw had details. Keep your powder dry, people. Don't be MAGA. These bills show he's got the toughest AI regulation in the nation. gizmodo.com/gavin-newsom...
Oh FFS - does no one remember anything? Even Nixon's strongest supporters voted to impeach. His admin were resigning fast and furious. He himself publicly released evidence that sank him. R's told him flat out that impeachment - and conviction - were a certainty. He resigned. WHAT "RAW DEAL"?

Simply preventing responses to classes of questions is the crude, dumbass way to do this. If you're just a little bit more sophisticated in your dishonesty you can do a 'demeanor adjustment' that produces the results you want. Search "Grok MechaHitler incident" for a defining example.
From Daniel Dale The Trump administration appears to have changed its Al chatbot so that it no longer debunks Trump lies. Yesterday: It said Biden won the 2020 election and there's no indication of widespread fraud. Today: Says it can't answer such questions.
47's gibberish is getting so disconnected now it's frightening. Remember his "weave" explanation? That's BS. He can barely keep his thoughts straight. Dementia is near. He is also PURPOSELY clueless about stuff so he can demand what he wants - without regard for the stark reality in the details.
Joe Biden was way more coherent than this even in the debate. time.com/article/2026...
Proving, YET AGAIN, that ALL of 47's complaints on how the US is harmed ARE 100% BULLSHIT! He has made his living screaming at us - with absolute certainty - about what's wrong, but NEVER provides a single shred of PROOF. It works because some WANT to believe the lies. apnews.com/article/home...
Brexit: among the worst foreign policy disasters in modern times. The pain wasn't just Britain's. Normally I'd say only accept them back in with MAJOR concessions for the damage they caused. But with 47's America Alone lunacy, the EU has more incentive to bring the UK back. Will sanity prevail?

1) [head-desk] And where does Dr. Brain Worm think AI gains its 'expertise'? BY READING PAPERS WRITTEN BY HUMAN EXPERTS!!! When AI gets it wrong - which it does frequently - that is often due to AI getting trained on FAKE 'expertise' that another AI posted online TO PURPOSELY MANIPULATE PEOPLE.
