it would seem that's at least one good thing.

i've been thinking it will be just like FB & Twitter - a tool of propaganda, just one more app owned by, controlled by, & serving up reality sliced perfectly to suit

billionaires.

#TruthWarriors Looking at the drivel in the oval today about tik-tok. Are they not aware that it has users Worldwide? Do they think it is just in the US. They are going to be surprised by the amount of people that don't have to follow their rules.

Gathering initial numbers at the moment - who would be interested in me doing an online chat (would be ticketed to raise some Xmas funds) where I read a story from ILLUSIONS OF PRESENCE then talk about my work with the British Library?

105/N. Feds rammed a car that crashed into another, then a foot chase. Neighbors protested. Gas deployed by feds earlier today. Here's what they left behind. A thread of photos. #chicago

Happy #Birdtober!
🪵 Hawaiʻi ʻElepaio
Chasiempis sandwichensis

Quick, curious, clever — the ʻelepaio flits through branches catching insects. Hawaiian canoe builders saw this bird as a guardian spirit of the forest. ʻElepaio can still be seen in the forests of most #HawaiianIslands.

They have one goal and one goal only: to please the mad king.

And there's nothing the king wants more than this coveted prize that he thinks offers the final proof that he's the greatest ever.

Meanwhile he's done nothing to deserve this prize, and plenty that should assure that he never gets it.

This is the second time in 24 hours he's said something like this. Yesterday he made that quip saying about Karoline Leavit, "those lips --- they move like a machine gun."

He's losing all inhibitions. Not that he ever had many to begin with.

Everyone agrees that we're currently in a dotcom era-like AI bubble. People disagree what sort of bubble it is.

There are 3 stories one can tell about the dotcom crash: a startup story, a telecom story, and an accounting fraud story.

My take: it's giving Enron

Unconstitutional, damaging to our democracy and--last time I checked--murder is a crime. Let's not gussy it up and call it acts of war. This is murder.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean.

Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."
