Maybe the British should STFU about having "other" people make policy decisions.

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Imagine if a president was in a wheelchair! That'd be bonkers! They might win a world war or create an economy that would build a middle class hereto unseen that would create worthless failsons who write shitty articles for formerly prestigious publications.

I went home to Chicago a month ago and did karaoke at a country bar and the people ahead of me did the national anthem, and I'm like "girl you're in danger"

I don't want sources exposed, I just want a bibliography of other stories these same sources contributed to so I can immediately gauge my interest in taking them seriously.

He's right. They're stealing the country from us and ending democracy. "Bloodless if the left allows it to be" is a threat to kill anyone who fights back

I honestly don't think Pritzker wants to be president. This also may be personal bias because he's been the best governor Illinois has had in a long time and I want him to keep doing his thing.

Karen Bass just announced that LA is looking into a mask ban and it is a move that would essentially ban me from public life. I am humbly asking, if you are an LA resident, please call the mayors office and tell them about what it would do to those of us who have no choice but to mask for health.

This is useful information, but a complete drop in the bucket. Individual action can not possibly stop behemoths like Meta. Only federal legislation can do that. Which is not unconnected to the tech bros’ skepticism about democracy.

Yea, man, for sure. No corporation would ever frustrate their customers. It's never happened before. Especially not corporations that have practical local monopolies. They're always benevolent with new technology.

"Immigrants who would risk their lives to live in America, because our country is so great, should be arrested or killed" is number one such an evil stance, but it is also so politically vulnerable.

This just proves JB is getting to him. I had my obvious doubts when a billionaire became governor of Illinois but Pritzker has done a fantastic job for the entire state and it's hard to find someone that lives in Illinois to say a bad thing about him.

For a few years I've been recognizing people coming together to watch sunsets, and I've been trying to think of deep reasons why, like universally marking one more day gone from our lives. But truth is, a good sunset is just dope as hell.

The conservative ecosystem: 1) invent thing X to get angry and scared about 2) blame X for all the base's problems 2) amplify that anger and fear 3) "protect" the base from X with obvious grifts 4) when the base goes bankrupt, repeat the process Patriot Soap didn't bring your wife back? Buy more!

Hedge funds & private equity firms are destroying newsrooms, hospitals, restaurants & companies across the board to squeeze money further upward. They are gutting our economy so the super rich can become ultra rich & Republicans are happy to help. They are literally selling our country.

Leash your dog. Yes, you. Yes, your sweet dog. Leash your dog. Not only because of the harm it could do, but because you have no right to put other people through the stress of not knowing what it will do. EVEN IF you can predict your dog (you can’t), other people shouldn’t have to rely on it.
