First off, that Portland Bike Ride is an annual event, which means that it happens every year. Secondly, I find it extremely hilarious that tiny little man here is scared of naked people while protecting actual pedophiles. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Despite huge advancements in technology & worker productivity since the 1970s, wages for American workers have remained stagnant and almost all new wealth has gone to the people on top.

Will it be any different with AI and robotics?

I don’t think so. Maybe even worse.

I wrote about a new Nazi party that seeks to criminalize all human virtue, and how that means that human virtue is the greatest weapon against the new Nazi project.

The Crime of Human Virtue

Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.
