"Do you ask what is the proper limit to wealth? It is, first, to have what is necessary, and, second, to have what is enough."

Seneca’s idea was that wealth should be limited to what is needed and enough - something no billionaire seems to understand.

Understanding must be forced.

Fyi, Israel hasn't stopped the genocide and has already broken the "ceasefire."

Trump did nothing.

This shit works because it keeps brainwashed supporters mobilized and "opponents" on the "defensive" (as if the Dems are even oppositional anymore). It also shifts attention away from accountability and toward loyalty.

It is the Ouroboros of fascism, and it will eat itself while hurting everyone.

This is classic Fascist/Trumpist dogma.

First declare you will solve a problem.

Pretend you solved a problem.

Don't fix anything.

Next comes blaming the left for the problem never being solved because somehow the left is at fault for what you didn't do.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

You too, are mortal.

You must die one day.

Live for the now; do not dwell in the past.

You can visit it from time to time, but try not to live there.

There's nothing left for you back then.

All our works shall become dust.

However we do know that immortality's price is really shitty copper.

It's Socialist Sunday at IMMORTAL SCIENCE, and that dumbass NYT hed about how Chinese people should "protest" the country's green energy program inspired me to write about how anticommunism makes us all deeply stupid. Check, check, check, check it:

Afraid of the Light - IMMORTAL SCIENCE

In an article from the New York Times today about the unsightliness and mild annoyance created by green-fuel high voltage lines in China - qualities apparently absent with coal or oil,...

What do you like most about her? Her virulent anticommunism, her desire to return her country to petro-oligarchs, her support of the Trump administration, her celebration of the bombing of fishing boats by the US military, her cooperation with right-wing insurrection, or her support of Israel?

The party is over. The music stopped a few months ago but people keep dancing because they're afraid of what comes next.

Embrace it. It's all downhill from here.

The numbing knowledge of the end coming for you, for me, for everyone really... makes me feel a deep loss and sadness.

It's fucked.

Trump is doing his damnedest to create the violence he claims he wants to stop. Shooting pepper balls at a person's head can lead to serious injury. Doing it while they are praying is inexcusable. Praying Rev. David Black of Chicago's 1st Presbyterian is ok. www.chicagofirstchurch.org/pastor-black
