we beat canada at their sport and italy beat us at our sport so to restore equilibrium canada must beat italy at bocce

It would be a funny scene in a satirical movie like Idiocracy. It makes me so angry that these people were given the keys to our country (and its server rooms).

Ugh. These networks should be developing relationships to support and amplify the work of independent journalists.

It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there

— William Carlos Williams, "Asphodel That Greeny Flower"

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Trump has deported Kristy Noem
I guess he was worried she outshone him
It’s not a surprising plot twist,
And Markwayne Mullen is a fascist,
But at least you now have this poem

I kind of hate this meme, but if it doesn’t have a congressiona Act of War, it’s just sparkling abuse of power

Way to drop this after COB on a war-bombing day, America.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

They signed that OpenAI deal just in time. I bet ChatGPT, given its extensive collection of training data correlating war operations in the Middle East to durable, peaceful outcomes, made a clear and compelling case for what to do independent of any bias toward what its users wanted to hear.

No, ChatGPT! I said “play A Flock of Seagulls”!

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

At this point the issue is more useful as a razor on whether you believe people should be required to follow arbitrary state rules even if they don’t pertain to your life, vs believe people should be default free to make choices.

That’s it, I’m filing a complaint.

Centrist friends and candidates, please tell us more about how the Democrats need to focus on more “normal” issues.
