Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

Many of the scientists Jeffrey Epstein courted were already well-established and well-funded. So why didn’t they all just say no? Science talked with three who did just that.

Here’s how Epstein approached them, and why they refused to have anything to do with him. ⬇️ https://scim.ag/40qbXnv

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

"The fantasy monster that president after president has conjured up is real, and he is squatting orangely over his phone in the bathroom at Mar-A-Lago."

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

Freedom of speech and so on. Time for an open letter, etc. This is all the fault of the campus left sort of thing.

Very astute:

"If America’s university presidents believe that their foremost responsibility is simply to keep their institutions operational ... they are mistaken. Much as lawyers are guardians of the rule of law, presidents and chancellors are stewards of intellectual freedom and democratic norms"

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

If reading these letters doesn’t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you would’ve been on the wrong side in WWII.

Lots of good comments and reassurance here. They are going to try shenanigans but we don't have to let them work. There are not enough ICE fascists to intimidate people at every polling location in this country.

Even cartoon villains aren't as ghoulish as this guy. He literally has nothing that he stands for except power. Gross and Dangerous. His book was also really bad!

What do you know, Trump's pick for fed chair is also in the Epstein files. An amazing coincidence I'm sure!

"He’s also set to direct “Rush Hour 4” after the project was greenlit by Paramount, and reportedly after President Donald Trump had “lobbied” hard for the studio to take up Ratner’s project." Curious that Trump would lobby hard for someone he *doesn't* know through a sex trafficking ring

Sick of this dystopian tech overlord men with no panache and bad haircuts enabling a pants shitting president and bald hitler wannabe trying to undo things that can’t be undone ass reality we are living. They are so tedious and venal. It’s galling.

Making it make sense: Epstein wasn't a global mastermind. He did not orchestrate a vast conspiracy that led us to today.

He was a very rich man with connections to other very rich men. The shared culture of these men is that they have a right to dominate and abuse others without consequence.

Perhaps they could also tell this administration to F off. No need to adapt your business plan to facism, you can stop it!

Why Are We Not Purging People in the Epstein Files from the American Government? Politics and sometimes culture from a rude liberal in blog form.

Except that's not what's happening? Having a delusional president is terrible and I believe we are all ready to be done with it now.

Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
