It's #GivingTuesday and now , more than ever - your causes near and dear to your heart need your help: time, expertise and financial support.

I hope you'll join me and instead of spending on retail non-essentials #LetItRot and instead give to those that can - and are - helping others.

Why are we bailing them out at all?

@juddlegum.bsky.social on Bluesky

Along with the $20 billion U.S. taxpayer bailout to Argentina, the Trump admin announced another $20 billion for Argentina from private banks. But the banks won’t lend the money without a guarantee from the federal government. So it’s a $40B taxpayer bailout. https://www.wsj.com/finance/argentina-bailout-banks-collateral-721bc2b5

yup

So, AWS went down and so did most of the internet. And everyone just moved on. This is part of why we are where we are. Everything we see and hear is owned by maybe five people, and it doesn’t feel like that’s raising enough eyebrows.

Thank you for describing what it is. Look at how housing authorities popped up in Santa Monica, Glendale, Pasadena and Burbank carving out not only control of local affordable housing from the countywide pool, but diminishing regional funding.

Kings with no subjects.

We like a good King - but without a domain.

Makes sense. MechaHitler proved that you are what you eat.

Feed it a steady diet of hate, misogyny and sexual frustration and you get an LLM (I will NEVER call them AI) that behaves like racist, immature, horny teenage boy with bad role models.

If we haven’t met, I’m an ornery 70 yr old farmer who says no to authoritarianism, to fascism, and to kings. Yes to voting rights, yes to education for all children, and yes to habeas corpus and warrants. Can’t believe I have to say this. In the meantime, we keep on growing. Btw, Epstein. #farmlife

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys
