I've ALSO had ancestors who were thieves and ax murderers, because life is a rich pageant
I've had ancestors who died of black lung from coal mining and in horrific accidents on the railway they worked for, all so the next generation could do better.
β€œHumans can just go get manual labor jobs if desk jobs are repaired with AI” is both not going to suffice to provide enough jobs and is also going to result in massive societal anger because manual labor jobs often *are terrible*, which is why people have worked hard to avoid them for generations.
Even if society provided the food/shelter level needs for everyone, humans also need to perform useful work just for basic fulfillment. The vast majority of people cannot sit around all day letting AI and robots do everything.

(The definition of β€œuseful work” here is malleable but still essential)
The mayor of Enfield goes on a fairly unhinged rant about antifa and BLM and trans kids on a post about the sorry state of town owned buildings.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of β€œwhat if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! β€œThank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Fuckers like that? They live to 99. Imagine 20 more years of this.
Trump demolishing the East Wing is a good example of why the "we'll just wait for him to die" strategy isn't working well
Hey look Andrew Cuomo cut a MAGA ad
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted β€” and quickly deleted β€” this AI-generated ad depicting β€œcriminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

I am, of course, neutral on any and all protests.

But I will say the β€œNo Kings” branding goes a little harder given French history.
No Kings in Nice, France.

I still believe this, too
The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

β€œIllinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. β€œIf I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Disgusting.
The hits just keep coming at the Justice Department, including the FBI, as new purges come to light. Among the latest moves: FBI Director Kash Patel fired a new agent trainee for displaying a gay pride flag on his desk last year when he was a FBI support staffer

oh I am not doing THIS one again
Trump has not been seen in public since Tuesday and has no public events on his calendar today
At some point we may come to the conclusion that the pact between the states is irreparably broken.
At a certain point, it's a practical question: what value are we getting from our financial and social investment in America? Currently, the answer is occupied cities, brutal violent raids, and infrastructure projects held hostage at the whims of Trump.
Most blue states are! But no, they have yet to think ahead about anything.
