What a difference twenty years makes. In 2006, the digital age was about YOU. In 2025, it’s about Big Tech billionaires. In the digital age, AI must stand for All Included—and I’ll keep fighting to make sure it does.

On twitter, i had blocked hundreds of thousands of accounts. My experience was great. Every time I ran into a tweet from a nazi, I would just use a chain block tool to block that account and every account that followed it.
There are billions of people-- you don't have to worry about over-blocking.

The White House East Wing didn’t fall—it got vibed out of existence. Trump’s building a ballroom fit for his ego, bulldozing history for a disco ball. In this week’s Elephant in the Room, Rick drags the Trump ballroom demolition 2025 mess:

Everyone seems outraged that Burlingame would be the city where ice agents are supposedly being housed by the Crown Plaza. Burlingame is one of the most affluent cities of old money and new money in the Bay Area. Let’s not forget that in 2016 they hosted the GOP California convention.

Here is an important life skill people need to relearn:
How to board and unboard trains. You enter on the right side. You unboard also on the right side. Meaning you enter on the right people exit on your left. Meaning there is never a reason to cause a pause or get in the way.

Let’s clear something up: the giant cuts to Medicaid in Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill will affect EVERYONE, not just people on Medicaid.
Hospitals and nursing homes will be forced to close—and it doesn't matter what kind of insurance you have if there is nowhere to go for care.

Someone recently said. “You have great legs.” I responded “Ya think? I walk and take transit everywhere. Of course I have great legs.” TLDR walking can help prevent or alleviate chronic low back pain later in life.

Trump officials accidentally texting war plans to a journalist is a massive fuckup. Democrats should use it to remind voters that Trump installed a bunch of unqualified morons to run the government. Every action these sycophants like Hegseth and Vance take makes Americans less safe.
