Empathy holds space for possibility

Austerity is most lightly borne by those who've extracted and hoarded wealth: tax the rich

Of the 4.5 million 'illegal SNAP scammers' who aren't worthy of food, I was 1

Me : taxpaying generational citizen
...making the arch both a crow's nest for the Capitol's prison guards and a legitimate military target under international rules of war, should they matter again one day

the J6 insurrection continues apace
Oh, just our moronic president casually telling the entire world and our adversaries where they can find a large cache of munitions.

Also, clearly the snipers are for us.

He’s a very stupid and very sick person.

Enjoy your $5+ gas folks. It isn’t going to get better.

a person with access to a billion dollars is a danger to the world

Mitch McConnell may be suffering from dementia induced Hypomimia, but that most often leads to a neutral expression

The question I can't get out of my head is: are they using Botox(R) to make him look like he's smiling?

The people around Mitch are power mad ghouls either way

Yet another reason to dump CO2 into the skies as quickly as possible: to clear the Arctic for shipping

bonus! more oil extraction possibilities too!!!
It’s pretty obvious why Trump is making imperialistic moves over Canada with his talk of making them a state with his tariff trade war shakedown and Greenland at this point.
The Canada Europe Arctic Alliance will be a powerhouse.

"I wrote the piece and Claude found the links relevant to my claims" is, even without the AI, such an admission of poor thinking and argumentation. your claims should emerge from the evidence!
Less shocking to me was reading this bit at the end, where Erickson - whose entire day-to-day job is just wanking out a bit of punditry once or twice a week - has handed much of that over to AI.

"Household net worth leaped $12.8T!"

$10.7T of that gain came from stocks. The top 10% own roughly 90% of stocks. That’s not households getting richer, that’s shareholders being reported as “everyone.” Meanwhile, the middle class is disappearing and the poor are dying.

Choosing not to speak out is your decision

Choosing to stop someone else from speaking out is censorship

The silence is complicit

If one stacked a million dollar bills on their side, it would take about an hour to drive past it

If one counted to 1,000,000,000 (one trillion) one number per second, it would take 31,000 YEARS

I am interested in spearheading a "Fetterman Amendment" to the Pennsylvania Constitution to either:

Heretics
We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

This is what happens when the guy on the 'other side' of a trade war you started knows the tactics, strategy, and logistics of winning said war

You get Punk'd, Donny, that's what you get

Well played Canada
Now THIS is how you respond to trade uncertainty. 🇨🇦 A $4.7B VIA Rail deal bringing passenger-car production from the U.S. to Canada means investing at home, strengthening Canadian industry and creating jobs. Build Canadian. Buy Canadian. Believe in Canada. 🍁 #CanadaStrong #BuyCanadian

Amen
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

Let's be clear: this isn't a win. This is proof Trump put our service members at risk to get Venezuelan oil for his billionaire buddies. 

Putting our soldiers’ lives on the line for private profit is a gross dereliction of his constitutional duty.

I hope this is true:

To which she replied "I'm Dolly Parton, and they hired you to make it look like I can act"

And? It’s fine. Someone will simply take his picture and add it to a federal database every time he arrives or leaves. What could possibly concern him?

Pennsylvania’s youngest voters disapprove of President Donald Trump at a higher rate than any other age group, fueled by their pessimism over the economy, a new Inquirer/New York Times/Siena poll has found.

I've been a Linux fan from the jump

Cut my teeth on Unix (so, old-ish)

I've never before recommended it to replace anyone's windows home whatever

But Ubuntu Studio and ZorinOS are pretty much there

They even have solid Windows emulation for many/most(?) things
The only practical use for Windows in my opinion is there are certain programs that refuse to run on any other operating system.

The whole OS has devolved into a surveillance system.
