Very unlikely as domestic ai is currently abysmal (and as ai is a probabilities look up table it won’t improve until it has qualitative modifiers) but I do think your metric is absolutely worth pursuing. Until then it’s all amputee and spina bifida offal porn. Incomprehensible but people love it…
Gawd that’s excruciatingly a fairly precise description of many media pundits. They have no ethics.
Michelle Obama: Eat an apple! Eat some vegetables! Get some exercise! RFK Jr: Autistic people sit in the corner drooling because of vaccines! Let's ban all vaccines, bring measles back and have the survival of the fittest! American Media: Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. had the exact same agenda!
Live your life in such a way that, upon realizing that you are probably p seriously ill, millions of people are not torn between hoping you die as soon as a body can possibly shuffle off its mortal coil and hoping that you survive long enough to go to prison and die there.
Some new street art spotted in DC 🤣
No point compromising with criminals who see compromise as permission to commit more crimes flip.it/OeWTPM
Trolling done gracefully! I’m not a particular fan of Biden but I love the sentiment…
If anyone missed my long-form explainers, I have great news!
I never feel more saintly than when I put a pristine copy of a desirable book in someone’s little library box.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Thank you on this labor day!!
He’s got the words!
Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.
I opened my own Little Free Library today ♥️ Pittsburgh friends...message me for the address!
Cute! I opened mine a month ago. Central Victoria! Wanna do twin book libraries where I put a sign up twinning with your book library in the USA Aand you twin with mine in Australia 🤔🙂
FFS! USA get it together…
@nytimes.com was, yet again, attempting to normalize Trump's illegal actions by referring to the number of children as "dozens."
Yup Murdoch, Koch bros, Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg…
“Fascism-lite” isn’t a strategy to defeat fascism but it’s very effective in normalising it.
Good intentions are seldom enough in politics sadly.
I’m not against the plan. I think good intentions and a bit of hubris are driving Schwarzenegger, rather than acknowledgement that there’s a limited ability for states to fight nationally. Newsom has a lot of failings but in this instance he’s trying to fk the GOP for ethical reasons.
batman was a stalking horse for fascism in america because he validated the idea that it was ok and even necessary to act like a completely insane person because of Crime
This is for all of you who are still denying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. 500 experts on genocide say yes, they are. Screw the Jewish voters in the US who defend Israel's genocide. They don't belong in the US. "The holocaust never happened." "Genocide in Gaza never happened."
I’m pretty sure you need to add “for white people” at the end of every sentence… he’s such a racist.
One nation without an autonomous electoral body that defines the borders, seats and districts. Every state has a grubby agenda to gerrymander so take that away from the state and the congress as a whole.
Googles only showing what Schwarzeneggers saying today but it’s not showing the history of the fierce battles to try and eliminate gerrymandering by party in California. Fuvking jesis it feels like Americans just gravitate to extremes of dumb.
That’s one solution but you’re the United States and that doesn’t really manage gerrymandering because of the incredible voter disenfranchisement that’s already in play. That’s part of why Schwarzenegger put in place an autonomous body to control districting so that gerrymandering was eliminated
Don’t be daft. He’s against Gerry mender. He’s also agss as I st trunp
Google developer #1: "That's it. Our search engine is simple, efficient, and reliable. It's perfect. We're done." Google developer #2, presumably: "But wouldn't it be *more* perfect if the first search result was always a robot who mansplained your search results to you incorrectly?"

That’s $8 trillion fleeced from Americans, in this instance you’re lucky Trump is a pathological liar because $8 trillion removed from your local economies will choke and kill those economies.
What a lot of us called hot was better gun training especially marksmanship. It was sloppy shooting that killed the innocent bystander. Standards are low…
Unions built this city and keep it running. They’ve fought against power and greed to make the impossible possible. Now, they need an ally in City Hall. On Labor Day, the presidents of the Hotel Trades Council, 32BJ and SEIU 1199 make the case at @cityandstateny.bsky.social.
Had a random declare that movie people who name forgotten actors are being smug. You have no idea! I have so much social capital in naming Harry Liedtke and Ossi Oswalda! People rise when I enter the room, crowds roar, I never have to pay for my own drinks... Or maybe we're just having fun
So beautiful…
OH AND FUCK GEORGE BUSH
Congratulations!
Our government is complicit. Our mainstream media, BBC included, is complicit.
Not until he turned over numerous artists, anarchists and socialists to fall prey to Falangist and their supporters. Dali was a filthy little shit. America applauded and rewarded him but radical surrealism in Europe called him out for what he was. That was the great departure in 20th c art.
As a kid going to the cinema, we used to cheer and heckle when the film would catch fire which it frequently did. At least we had decent fire extinguishers. I imagine a reel of film going across America, being played nightly would get tatty pretty quickly!

I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗
IT’S ALL NATIVE LAND!

Except in Spain where they loved Dali.
That may be correct. 😢
You’re completely wrong as RFK has seen the inside of a meth lab quite a lot!
Arnold’s right and he holds a high moral ground well but Newsom is also right and holds a high moral ground. The solution is to challenge Texas and bring it to the party with a national autonomous electoral commission. That would also put Trumps GOP fascists & their voter disenfranchisement to bed.
So even lower than 4? Jezuz, I’m thinking maybe trans folk aren’t the problem… The problem may be dickheads with too easily accessed powerful weapons that are designed to put people down like dogs…
Quite probably. Like that dickhead in norway…
I wrote a joke today! What do you get if you put two two clowns in a blender? Something runny and not very funny!
Remember…
Cor, he wasn’t always a bright orange fattie boombawith a bleached anus… Just always had the personality of a bleached anus.
Even worse are these guys.
All cool, I forgot the number of cis mass shooters but I know it was 11k+ over the last ten years making the statistics .036% It’s weird to quibble over dicks when the issue is really hardcore auto and semi automatic guns. Just another way the CEO’s bamboozle us.
Apparently the number is 4 trans mass shooters.
Told you my maths bad, it’s actually .03636%. That is absolutely an amount no actuary would define as important. Also my quote of 11k was based on a figure I read which was something like 11,600 but I couldn’t remember it so I rounded down!
4x trans mass shooters, over 11,000 cis mass shooters. “Most”, is not an appropriate description. My maths pretty bad but .4% is a statistic most actuaries would define as insignificant. Still disgusting to be murdering people but arseholes are arseholes…
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.
I think it’s important to remember that “the village idiot” isn’t necessarily that village’s ONLY idiot, he’s just the most famous one

Ps your corporations are clearly defining how you think about this issue. Be kind in your replies. I appreciate the explanation but we can all do without the snarkiness.
I needed an explanation because contrary to your xenophobia it doesn’t work quite like that model everywhere else in the world. We even have public healthcare systems that mean when I recently had emergency life saving surgery my expense was $42 aud for the take home drugs for pain relief.
@LePapillonBlu2 Maya We are living in the dumbest timeline in human history. 😳
Red Rupert is and was a Stalinist. It shows in his contempt for human beings
Little kids with brain cancer. That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.
NOW: In response to Russia's large-scale attack, Poland's Air Force said it had scrambled fighter jets to protect Polish air space, as missiles target Ukraine's far-west.
If you see this, quote post a spherical borb 🌿
So while we’re seeing a late Summer Surge in COVID-19 cases, COVID vaccines are expected to be more expensive and hard to come by for millions of Americans this Fall. Because of RFK Jr, the FDA narrowed its approvals this week, which will raise the price to around $225 per shot.
Should we talk about the fact there is no actual profit in any of these companies at all if they are secretly subsidized and tax credited so much you and I even pay their utility bills? Like, WTF do these corporations even do except launder money and destroy society www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6sxqc8b/
Obscene. All that fluff about land of the free is such bullshit. It’s only remotely anything like free if you’re a white male. Everyone else dies in hospital waiting rooms, gutters or is hauled off by ICE Gestapo. Racist sexist fascist America is foul.
I keep hearing this, about bills going up when data centers go in. Is that because you pay more in high demand areas? Where I live we have a fixed wholesale rate but some resellers here have fluctuating rates so I’m thinking maybe that’s what’s going on?
BREAKING: Congresswoman Maxine Waters just called for Trump’s cabinet to invoke “Article 25” of the Constitution to remove him from office. “Something's wrong with this president!" Who agrees?
It's going to be the weirdest thing watching every news network trying to sell "a nation in mourning" while Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" becomes the new national anthem.
Under the big top🎠🗽🎪🤹🏻♂️
WHAT DID I TELL YOU during the LIVE? According to Kremlin pool, Putin is traveling to China from 8/31-9/3. There he will meet with Xi, Modi, Erdogan, Kim Jong Un. The visit will begin with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. Oh, believe me you, I’ll cover the heck out of it.
I think it's not talked about enough how there's a system around this to make it possible. Companies are not just "paying absent people for two years" over there. There is a culture and a civilization around this stuff that makes sure FEW people are stuck in illness (or incarcerated forever etc)
My job posted a a position this week. 1900 applicants by Friday. Please understand this economy is in BAD shape.
4 is 4 more than I thought… Americans are crazy and clearly love giving money to billionaire arms manufacturers and Killionaire tech bros to support their fetish for murdering children and praying.

The root problem is political corruption. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s ethical or not a corruption of the social contract.
Every small-c christian-fascist should be forced to watch this.
Hasn’t been seen in public for a few days combined with pictures/video a few days back of a possibly necrotic bruise on the back of his hand. Southern Baptists are praying blood poisoning kills him quickly…
