I legit don’t know if I will ever get past this ad I saw walking to an appt this morning in soho. And yes, it’s a company that uses human sounding AI voice bots to take over your customer service calls.

I have a theory for another way you could do it that doesn’t require sneering social engineering imposed on working and middle class americans

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

I’m in the preamble this morning explaining that there’s no “protest” exception to the constitution, despite what the Trump admin is doing in and to Minnesota.

True of not just the first amendment but also … all the other parts too! thepreamble.com/p/the-right-...
The Right to Protest is More Protected than You Think
It’s more than just the First Amendment

“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors,” Greene said in a Wednesday interview with radio personality Kim Iversen.

We can honor Catherine O'Hara through buying, renting, and streaming her filmography over the next few days, so that the revenue is more than the box office receipts for "Melania" on opening weeken--oh, excuse me...

...okay, yes, I'm being told that's already happened.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.

In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

Much as I don't enjoy posting media as inspiration (outside of music) this is very much the feeling in Minneapolis at the moment.

Aside from the references to his service as a Marine, this should be the baseline response for every single elected Democrat. No mealy-mouthed focus-tested mumbly whining.

If you're not fucking furious, get out of the fucking way or an infuriated electorate is roll right over you too.

Just watching excerpts from PM Mark Carney’s Davos speech. What an utter national humiliation for America to have this malevolent senescent and absurd clown representing this great nation before the nations of the world.

Optimism is a political act. Entrenched interests use despair, confusion and apathy to prevent change. They encourage modes of thinking which lead us to believe that problems are insolvable, that nothing we do can matter, that the issue is too complex to present even the opportunity for change. It is a long-standing political art to sow the seeds of mistrust between those you would rule over: as Machiavelli said, tyrants do not care if they are hated, so long as those under them do not love one another. Cynicism is often seen as a rebellious attitude in Western popular culture, but, in reality, cynicism in average people is the attitude exactly most likely to conform to the desires of the powerful - cynicism is obedience. Optimism, by contrast, especially optimism which is neither foolish nor silent, can be revolutionary. Where no one believes in a better future, despair is a logical choice, and people in despair almost never change anything. Where no one believes a better solution is possible, those benefiting from the continuation of a problem are safe. Where no one believes in the possibility of action, apathy becomes an insurmountable obstacle to reform. But introduce intelligent reasons for believing that action is possible, that better solutions are available, and that a better future can be built, and you unleash the power of people to act out of their highest principles. Shared belief in a better future is the strongest glue there is: it creates the opportunity for us to love one another, and love is an explosive force in politics. Great movements for social change always begin with statements of great optimism.
