Two psychics run into each other, one says to the other, "well you seem to be doing fine. How am I?"
Wow, Molly Ringwald. She's braver than every single CEO in America right now. She's willing to come out and state the obvious, put herself on the line. Tim Cook isn't. Jamie Dimon isn't, Jensen Huang isn't. None of them. Cowards, maybe they prefer fascism.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota

I had written this one last week, before yesterday's murder. I didn't revise it to add the supporting data we have now, but it's still relevant.

Elon Musk was at Davos yesterday, where he made this joke, for real.
"I just heard about the Board of Peace. Is that spelled p i e c e, like a little piece of Greenland, or a little piece of Venezuela?" And the crowd laughed.
Ha Ha Ha Ha, Nazis are funny.

Women's March - 2017 - Chicago
The misogynist and sexist nature, and the policy proposals put forth, in the 2016 presidential election spurred women's marches across the globe. It was the largest single day protest in U.S. history.

Trump is raving like a madman at Davos, citing delusional fantasies while threatening and horrifying our allies. Tens of millions of Americans accept this. Mindblowing.
But where are the adults? This only ends in violence and economic collapse. Do they not know that? Are they as insane as Trump?

I really find YouTube thumbnails to be disappointing, but this 2025 interview explains how our modern-day oligarchs, led by Silicon Valley in America, are more dangerous than ever. They even get to the root of the problem, our concept that man has dominion over the planet.

I verified this on the FAA website, I'm a licensed drone operator, and I've never seen the whole city blacked out before.
