You can’t be concerned about that separately from this. They’re the same thing.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Wear them. Sure. But keep them on and submit them to archive and face penalties for not having them on when interfacing with humans?

…but I laugh at everyone’s car woes. A friend spends more on insurance alone than I do on taxis. (Yes. uber is a taxi. Don’t kid yourself)
Right now I’m debating a sweet Vespa or a quality e-bike. I’ll still spend less buying & running it than the average student does for their car.

I haven’t owned a car since 1988.
When I lived in London I calculated it was cheaper to take a black cab to work 5 days a week than own/run a car.
In sydney I live a 20 minute bus ride to the CBD but can grab a car from my car share club when I need it.
I know I’m not typical at all…

Opinion | The Financial Review claims social media is the big threat to young people. But the economic policies it supports are far more damaging than anything on Snapchat, writes Bernard Keane.

If you want brain rot, read the Financial Review (and leave gen Z out of it)

They have all thrown decades, generations, of good will out the window for a chance to ask assholes questions they will lie to.

Time to turn them all off. Especially the smarmy ones. They’re not serving the country as they should & most of them will be right beside the bigots, racists and grifters.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable | Van Badham

Despite the relentless insistence of tech’s grifters, AI is not industrially inevitable – or even sustainable. Which is why it is time to push back

"The IMF always likes to be polite."

"It titled the October 2025 outlook 'Global Economy in Flux, Prospects Remain Dim' rather than as I would have: 'Trump remains dim, so who the hell knows what will happen'."
