Hot tip: if someone disagrees with your opinion without personally insulting your character and intelligence, it is unnecessary to counter by insulting their character and intelligence.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The corporate world needs to take a lesson from Disney. Technology does not replace human creativity. In fact, it doesn't always enhance it either. www.polygon.com/tron-ares-bo...
Tron's box office failure reveals a bigger problem of Disney's own making
40-plus years after the first Tron, live-action fantasies not explicitly for kids are still a problem for Disney

Israel/Palestine ceasefire is collapsing. Russia refuses to negotiate on Ukraine. US in covert war against Venezuela and Colombia. National Guard deployed to intimidate peaceful Americans. Navy shells the CHP in California. That peace prize is a lock for 2026, doncha think?

Trump desperately wants the fighting to stop for his own benefit. Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire. Russia will not because it believes Trump is weak. Russia is right. Unfortunately www.axios.com/2025/10/21/t...
In a shift, White House says no plan for Trump-Putin summit
It's an acknowledgment that the gulf between Russia and Ukraine is too wide to reach a deal.

I'm a Christian and @repmikejohnson.bsky.social actually makes me ashamed to say that in public

@repmikejohnson.bsky.social, Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files. Bondi said she had them ready to go. Then Musk tweeted that Trump was in them. Suddenly, you deemed them a hoax. And you claim Democrats blew it out of proportion? Somebody's nose is growing.

About damn time somebody suggested this. California has its own constitution, which means enforcement would not be under federal jurisdiction. Local police as well as California NG should keep tabs on ICE actions. apple.news/A7l0ltaMCQT-...

The remaining NATO countries need to determine a path that expels the United States from its membership. The U.N. should consider the same.
