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.

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.”

They're going to change the clocks this weekend and the president is powerless to stop it. Because he's weak and a loser. That's what they're saying sir

“They can’t strike.”

Oh? What happens if they do? There aren’t enough subs. It will shut it all down. The Red Hats can’t stop it.

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...

Seeing GA-20 right now at @highergroundmusic.bsky.social. Not really loving the new lineup, at least not in the terms of them playing all their already-recorded songs. These guys are very talented musicians, but when you swap out 2 of the 3 members, it’s a different band. [1/2]

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I try not to comment about other people’s appearances, but I gotta say that Speaker Mike Johnson LOOKS like a guy who would protect pedophiles while simultaneously ensuring that millions of people go without income, AND becoming personally richer at the same time.
