The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

The Trump-Putin oligarch axis is losing. They threw money, lies, interference. The people rose anyway. Lula wins Brazil. Vučić falls in Serbia. Same day, Oct 25. Democracy 2—Oligarchy 0. Extreme inequality lit the fuse. What a Sunday! Next step: #TaxTheRich. #WealthTax and #Limitarianism!

Just a reminder if you're on the left you should be dubious of @thebulwark.com these right wing grifters exist only to push the democratic party towards the right. They're politics is unpopular and is the reason we have Trump right now.

Ugh one of my local mom and pop owned restaurants that I really love just put out new menus with AI art. Trying to figure out how to tell them it looks fucking awful and I'd rather they just went back to the old menu.

I once forgot how to spell why in school. This was back when we didn't just have cellphones or computers. You ever try to look up how to spell 'why' in a dictionary when you don't even know what letter it starts with? I was like ten years old at the time and this memory still haunts me.

Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. From the ProPublica archives:

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.
