The philosophers have always known.

And the rulers have always sought to undermine the philosophers, mocking their insight and questioning their expertise. The rulers believe The Profit will only come if the people remain in the cave. 💸

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

One of the biggest layoffs in Amazon’s history—14,000 jobs gone.

They’re blaming “AI efficiency,” calling it the most transformative tech since the internet.

Translation: the machines are here, and they’re coming for middle-class jobs next. Maybe now people will start paying attention.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

some times, right before bed, I like to remember that if you’ve ever gossiped with a friend then there’s a non-zero chance that they’re gossiped about you with someone else.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

I’ll be interested to hear any new tracks they record together as a new unit. But this just ain’t the same, sadly.

The other 2 guys left and are now playing in Canyon Lights. If you’re a fan of the old GA-20, check ‘em out on Tidal (not Spotify): tidal.com/browse/artis...
