Working with government insiders of a foreign country to break up our own? Maybe we should stop calling these treasonous people separatists and call them what they are: traitors!

That's a serious design fail. That message should be printed on the outside. Otherwise...

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

How would you describe that worldview?
My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

Oh, sure. Would love to hear more about how great "Whites" are at taking care of wild animals.

Trump siblings play great white hunters by holding up a cheetah they killed.

I'm not sure he's gone far enough to prove his point. I mean, really, all he's done here is demonstrate that he's not anti-dildo.

Maybe the league should have consulted with the author of this analysis about the rule changes. He seems to have a good grasp of what's needed and what isn't.

This is wild news! An undiscovered piece of Jack Kerouac's writing, titled "The Holy, Beat, and Crazy Next Thing," was just found among the estate of an assassinated mob boss. Perfect timing, too, as I'm currently reading Mania, a book about the Beats. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

The story was written five months before Kerouac's masterpiece.

Elon Musk: “I don’t feel comfortable building that robot army if I don’t have, at least, influence over it.”

Sorry Elon, the rest of us don't feel comfortable knowing you have the keys to that robot army.

And of course, the clown who was indiscriminately firing thousands of government employees to cut "wasteful", "bloated" spending is now suggesting everyone will get government cheques for not working?

Musk, meanwhile, sees it as part of a bigger shift. He believes automation will free people from routine labor, allowing them to focus on creativity, innovation, and leisure. He’s also called for universal basic income (UBI) — a regular government payment to all citizens — as a safety net when machines take over most jobs.

Venture capitalist Jason Calacanis, who shared the Times story, agreed with Musk, saying, “The sooner we accept this reality, the better we can manage the transition.”

I'd really like somebody to explain how corporations expect to double sales while putting three quarters of a million people out of work? Especially if all the other companies start doing the same. I mean... who in the hell do they think is going to be able to buy all their crap?

The New York Times report said Amazon’s automation team expects to avoid hiring at least 160,000 workers in the U.S. by 2027, and more than 600,000 by 2033, even as sales double. The company’s robotics division reportedly aims to automate 75% of its operations in major warehouses. Amazon claims this will improve efficiency and cut costs — about 30 cents per item processed — though critics worry it could devastate blue-collar employment.

Tell that to my local used bookstore. I tried to sell some older books to them and they said nope, just bring us the new stuff.

"Negotiating tip: when Chinese officials declare that two sides “need each other,” it usually signals that the CCP needs something. This year, it’s market access to dump its overproduction of electric vehicles, aluminum and steel." nationalpost.com/opinion/mich...

Nailed it! "“We must replace woke culture with warrior culture,” says the MP who lost an easily-winnable Carleton riding in April, and needed to be handed a riding so blue that it could be mistaken for Frank Sinatra’s eyes."
