I am not giving up. I won't pretend I don't hurt, but I've spent too long fighting my depressed brain telling me 'give up' to give up hope due to outside circumstances.

To demand morally better of your country is to love your country. Simple as that.

Or the desperation of stupid people trying to salvage something out of their rapidly failing AI investment.

I wouldn't doubt if it's happened already. A few months ago, when that ICE outpost got shot up, the news went silent on it after about a day and a half when ICE wasn't getting the sympathetic response they were expecting.

I've replaced the dangly thing on the end of fishing rod toys with numerous things: bells, other cat-toys, plushes. But the thing that my cat loves most? The cap ring from a soda bottle, tied on a string to a broken hairbrush handle. That little bargain-bin Frankenstein is his favorite thing.

You have to carry joy in your heart when you resist, because what else can you build a new future with?

It's like, you can be a multimillionaire without ever having harmed anyone, if you're lucky. A billionaire can never exist without people being deprived of the basic rights of life.

So, is Quora straight-up owned by Russia, or is it just packed to the gills with people lubelessly jerking off to the idea of mass violence, and the idea that Russia is somehow not militarily incompetent?

I maintain that Hawkeye's intro as Ronin in Endgame would have been better if he had been obliterating a Klan gathering rather than random Yakuza.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

People repeating some lazy old bullshit, so let's lay out the reality: Netanyahu is a genocidal monster. Hamas is not a brave band of freedom fighters, they're an Israeli weapon, bought and paid for. Civilians are never an acceptable target in warfare.

Yeah, like, Coca Cola pulled their AI ad after, what, a few weeks? Because of how bad the reception was. And Coca Cola hardly ever learns anything!

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard.

She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.
