We can either have a techno-futuristic utopia or a medieval climate catastrophe nightmare. It is LITERALLY your choice.

The only solution is revolution.

Something to bear in mind: THIS ISN'T THE ECONOMY.

This is something that is being done to the economy.

This is something that is being done to you without your consent. There's a word for that.

A question: you, myself and everybody who isn't stupidly, ridiculously rich has no money in this thing, have made no decision to invest in this thing, and will never see a profit from this thing, but who do you think will pay for it once it pops?

The AI bubble is 17x the size of the Dot.com bubble and 4x the size of the subprime mortgage bubble.

pro-Palestine protesters? The only solution is to ignore them. Block them here on BS. Don't buy into their pro-fascist, pro-genocide bullshit.

Fuck the NYT.

The NYT is a hardcore right wing publication that has CONSTANTLY shit on anything they think is left of center. They lie about that, trying to project an image of stoic impartiality, but their actions reveal their intent. Remember when they shit on Bernie? Remember how they shit on

One imagines European leaders speaking to each other with silent glances when they're in DC.

Dutch intelligence suspends sharing arrangements with the US after concluding that high level intel was routinely being shared by the White House with their friends in the Kremlin. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/n...

Nederlandse diensten delen minder informatie met de VS: ‘Soms vertellen we dingen niet meer’

Wrong cover artist. The Invaders require Kirby or Robbins. Kane would be acceptable.

authoritarianism. It is a way out. There are other ways out, but you don't want those.
Given that we need more people who demand change, the next major protests should be organized near Christmas. People will be pissed and broke.

The easiest way for that to happen may be for Trump and his gang to do some more fascism and for the economy to get worse. They will an it will. As things get worse, more people will be looking for a way out. The No Kings protest is a door in this fascist room that leads outside of

It's going to have to get worse before we can force it to be better. It is estimated 7 million people showed up. We needed twelve million. I don't know how valid the Chenoweth Rule is (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.5%25_...), but if we assume it is valid, we need this thing to grow.

Something I've seen on BS that I haven't seen on other platforms are trolls that repost flood random left-leaning content (10+ a day) and then attack anyone espousing leftist views in comments. I've blocked so many that I should build a block list.

In the early 80s as a Gamma World and Villains & Vigilantes enthusiast I watched the TV movie and read the book. I read it in the dining room and rubbing my forehead absently until I was scratching a line up and down the middle of said forehead until it bled. I had a scab. Clearly Satan was in me.

Love the anti-sniper chicken while Mehdi Hasan speaks during the No Kings protest in Washing DC.

Burners. ICE has Stingrays and will track your phone. Use a burner.

Wow. This might be the best piece I've seen from DeSoto.

If I had a time machine I would go back to the time of that video when Miller was 17 on that school bus and show this to him. Some kids need to be shamed and humiliated.

History shows us that countries in which at least 3.5% showed up to protests, successfully toppled their fascist dictators. The only other successful toppling occurred in countries that were invaded.

DO NOT SIT DOWN AT THE PROTEST

Yes, but also assume the fascists will get their violence and plan accordingly. Carry a first aid kit, keep a buddy system and by all means use burner phones. The fascists will be using Stingrays to track phones.

Like most covers, one has to assume it was drawn without the logo. With that in mind, what is she chained to?

the lying weirdo and friend of MAGAts Susan Collins. Platner's deleted comments are about what you'd expect from an ex-military guy newly back from a war zone. Here's Platner providing an apology and an explanation.
