As a European I just can't understand it at all. These terrible shootings happen virtually every day, and nobody seems to care or want to do anything about it. What on earth will it take to have really strict gun laws.The GOP are a disgusting rump of a death cult party. Money & greed - nothing else

Tech oligarchs have been scrambling for products to retain dominance since the plateau of the home computer and mobile phone. Today, they're forcing 'AI' garbage on us while pushing for mass surveillance and war products, even if they have to make the wars to service them. We can reject this future.

BBC describing Zarah Sultana as "Far-Left."

But the BBC do not use the term "Far-Right" for Nigel Farage.

Subtle and clever form of manipulation.

Last day Goodreads Choice Awards voting is today, if you'd like to vote but haven't yet. If you don't want to vote, I mean, hey, you do you, I believe in free will and all of that. If you're on the fence about voting, perhaps this picture of three cats napping in a cat tree will convince you:

This is not politics as usual. We are not going to "just vote our way out in three years." We—including you—will need to personally get involved or authoritarianism is here to stay.

Touchiest people in the world. Will relentlessly mock everyone else for things they made up about them and the tiniest bit of return fire and they lose their minds.

McVey slithered onto GB News to sneer at disabled people using mobility vehicles, claiming they don’t work and aren’t up early. A spiteful, gobshite Tory punching down because her own career is a joke. #ukpolitics

Does he not understand that 'Favoured Nation' status is what other countries can grant you during trade negotiations? It's not something you can grant yourself, that's just insane.

When I see LLMs pitched as a guaranteed productivity tool for software engineering, the is the counterweight I keep trying to get people to seriously engage with and not handwave away is the future cost, and “oh everything tech gets cheaper” isn’t an answer. Services don’t and LLMs are a service.

This is the state that the West enables and calls a valuable ally, while preaching about the rules based world order and international law. The hypocrisy is no longer just sickening, it's gone well beyond that.

Let’s be clear…this isn’t doing anything for the economy…the $ amount is up because prices have gone up. Adobe analytics also says the amount of goods sold during this time is down 3% which means ppl paid more and got less. This is not a good look for the economy.

Dollars spent vs Unit sold…

Heather Cox Richardson’s Letter last night was fascinating for the implicit statement that Republicans are turning on Trump not because they felt he was destroying America, but that he was destroying _them_.

Remember, the enemy of my enemy is not my ally, but they are a useful tool.

There's a lady on FB bragging about going to multiple food giveaways & pantries to collect free food that she doesn't need.
She's literally recording herself and taking pics of her "score" at each place like it's her seasonal employment...

So I reported her page for selling drugs 🤗
