I find this chart absolutely fascinatingly scary. So for trillions being pumped into AI, we are projected to see only a .2% increase in Real GDP, while the possibility of eating caviar topped chicken nuggets on Mars or total extinction is the choice available.

It's high time to get rid of Email sign-offs. If you are writing the following, my immediate thought is as follows:

Sincerely: Person needs to be more honest with themselves and get an enema.

Warm Regards: Ewwww, you moist or something?

Best: Fix your bowtie, freak

Cheers: Psycho

I am going to take a bow wearing an impeccably stitched Jil Sander suit and laurels, as I virtually walk among the late comers to the "Jake Tapper is a hack" realization.

I told you this when he was pitching his book on Afghanistan while reporting on Afghanistan.

The guy is an absolute muppet!

I wonder if it is possible to shift dimensional timelines where all my friends/family can join the universe where Hillary won & all the dypshytes and Maga dolts can stay in this one.
Then we check back in a decade & see how far the worlds have come in terms of technology and progress and compare.

Immersed in biohacking my way to immortality, ND.
I did do a 1400 M drive back & forth to Chicago & saw the hellscape with the urchins of rural PA, Ohio and Ind. It confirmed the belief that without cities and blue states subsidizing the economies of most states, America is a third world shithole.

Okay, as someone who watched all 7 seasons of Vikings, I can say with certitude that Kirk's body needs to be put in a canoe with 3 goats, atop kindling doused in whale oil and set out into the fjord and have his wife shoot a fire arrow to set the canoe ablaze. Basic tablestakes to get to Valhalla! 🫡

There are christians who are not racists. MAGA Christians can fuk all the way off.

The other thing I notice is that there are no true intellectuals in MAGA or the right in general. There aren't any Buckley types. Just mediocre dudes dipped in mayonnaise.

Racism in America is wild because racists will go to outlandish lengths to defend and cannonize a 31 yr old middling intellect podcaster who debated kids because he also said racist stuff.

So the guy who killed Charlie Kirk was raised in a Republican household, immersed in gun culture like Charlie Kirk, & dropped out of college after one semester like Charlie Kirk. So naturally, it is the indoctrination of that one fateful semester at college and not 18 years of conservative values. 🙃

only in America, folks want to cannonize the killing of a college dropout, nepo baby, social media influencer, podcaster who debated teenagers surrounded by his sycophantic followers while he spewed racist, misogynistic hate against marginalized group for clout and shitty merchandize sales.

Did Charlie Kirkkk owe money to the Russians or the Israelis? because that's a professional hit. 🤔

Just a gentle fortnightly reminder that Merrick Garland was an abject failure as the AG. One of the greatest failures of Biden admin choices in appointees. A fucking mouse when America needed a lion in the face of rising fascism.

Framing the messaging:
"The head Idiot-in-Charge & his merry band of incompetent grifters have crashed the job market, alienated allies & forged alliances between our enemies. All in the span of 7 months. Also, where are Epstein files?"

Every Dem should be on airways with this today and everyday.
