Can the AI bubble please be the catalyst that ends the idea of corporate personhood and brings back personal liability for business decisions?

It would sure be great if any tech CEOs faced any kind of real consequences for their actions.

It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

I can’t wait to find out if the deal Trump gave to the Hamas leaders was as good as the one he gave to the Taliban.

OAP is my funding. After I pay my rent groceries cell phone cable. I have 34$ left to use for my antifa cause. I use a walker now so if I try to flee it won’t be pretty. My mom was antifa in WW2 in London when the fascists were bombing London .

When stories start popping up in multiple outlets saying liberals are warming to MTG or Nick Fuentes, and they’re not, it’s probably a good thing to start asking why.

And then, remember that Bush Era Republicans and the Cheneys were embraced and then liberal think tanks got funded by the Koch’s.

The Army exists to defend the Republic; the press exists to inform it. Together, they protect the same ideal—self-government built on public trust. Hegseth's Pentagon press restrictions would hurt the Army, the press, and us.

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous

Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

"So we read with interest yesterday the news that two Nobel-winning MIT economists are decamping for the University of Zurich next year.

MAGA may be fine with this. But we liked it when America was a magnet for Nobel laureates, not a place they wanted to flee."

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Don’t be surprised by the festering rot in the Young Republican group with a role model like Trump. A lying, lifelong conman, convicted felon & child rapist. And the GOP protects him like their lives depend on it. An entire generation of young people has been poisoned by Trump’s depraved character.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.
