We've had it, with empty useless "thoughts and prayers". They don't mean anything.

I've tried GPT 5, Gemini Deepthink, Grok 4, and Claude Opus 4.1 to get some feedback on a physics idea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbO2...
If you think the bruises on Donald's hands are bad from last week, you should see his knees from Alaska.
In support of Trump's peace efforts, Russia will continue the war.
We need child-safe traffic – not traffic-safe children.
Troops in the streets and he thinks he’s going to get a Nobel, peace begins at home
We don't have "designated dark sky parks" where I live. That we even need designated dark areas in the first place, to escape light pollution, really highlights the serious nature of the problem; and not just for humans… animals and insects are also negatively affected by excessive artificial light.
Sodium-vapour lamps aren't nearly as obnoxious as modern LED street lights, which are excessively bright, both in terms luminance and colour temperature, and usually not properly shrouded to prevent light leakage from being emitted where it's not needed or wanted.
The question we should all be asking is WHY are so many people these days suffering from anxiety & depression and stress disorders in the first place? Antidepressants are just band-aids masking the gaping psychological wounds afflicting society in general.
What was he planning to do with the dog 😳 drop the animal from the clock tower??
What will Donald announce today? A. "Russia has just two weeks" B. His successful defection C. A successful defecation D. His recent death E. A new crypto scam
He sold his company for $1.6 billion. He kept less than $100 million. He gave the rest away. Why? Because Brian O'Kelley says he "doesn't believe in billionaires." #MillionairesForHumanity #TaxTheRich #WealthTax

And it’s only taken modern civilization a mere few hundred years to bring about another climate collapse. The Ancients were amateurs compared to us. 😏

If you keep room after room after room of boxes of junk, they'll call an intervention and make exploitative TV shows about you. If you fill your house floor-to-ceiling with animals, they'll arrest you. But if you grab every single dollar you can and never let it go, they'll fall down in worship.
world-leading plutocracy, descending into oligarchy
People should learn to drive in the most basic car possible, without driver aids such as parking sensors, reversing camera etc. in order to understand what to do when something goes wrong with the tech when actually driving
there’s so much light pollution at night these days, wherever we look, unnecessarily bright LED lighting everywhere, blotting out the night sky. it’s awful.
“Any book worth banning is a book worth reading.” ― Isaac Asimov Librarians should keep lists of all books that the censors want removed from the shelves. Then, instead of a ban, put all of those books out front & centre of the library, so patrons can easily find & read them.
If I may paraphrase Matt Taibbi (from his 2009 exposé, The Great American Bubble Machine, about Goldman Sachs): Private Equity “is like a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.”
“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis
American exceptionalism is more children being gunned down in schools than anywhere else in the world
And the financialization of housing, as an investment vehicle, has contributed significantly to astronomical housing costs, particularly for renters, which in turn has led to more homelessness. Housing should be a human right, not an asset class.
Alaska’s Permanent Fund Dividend has been paying every resident a yearly income since the 1980s. We spoke with 2 of its fiercest defenders. "The commons are natural resources... The oil does not belong to the oil companies. It belongs to the people." — Dr. Jack Hickel, son of Alaska's 2nd Governor
Canada should pay attention We're on track to squander 80% of our nation's minerals wealth to private extraction when it could be paying every Canadian dividends
Daily smile for today... 😊 #dog #dogday #cat #catday #bluesky
Most Canadians use US-based cloud tech like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle along with many other American corporations…putting us at risk of having our private data handed over to the United States government, for whatever reason, and there’s nothing we or the Canadian government can do about it.

THIS 👇👇👇👇….SPOT ON!!!!
It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure. It's capital. The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.
It’s wild people think America is a “free country” while people are still getting arrested for pot and speaking out against genocide

Trump's regime of loyalists & sycophants are creating their own "deep state" as we speak… purging and persecuting anyone who might be disloyal or get in Trump's way.
Donald Trump is endlessly aggrieved and hellbent on retribution against his predecessors (Biden, Obama, Clinton) along with many others who Trump regards as his political enemies www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOIf... #Bolton
The conundrum with air-conditioning is that it while it cools people down on a boiling planet, air conditioning globally consumes a significant amount of energy whilst contributing to global warming
"There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water"
With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure. For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access in Mississippi. To learn more, read our blog post:
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
Trump is pulling a Putin. What Trump is doing is headed toward exactly the kind of authoritarian thuggery that happens in Russia. Not surprising at all though, given Trump's admiration for autocrats along with his obvious affection for Putin.
The NSP hackers got my name, address & phone, bank info, my social insurance number… and whatever tf else Nova Scotia Power had on file about me. I hope there's class action lawsuit. I think we should sue that rotten company out of existence, and reclaim our public utility as a crown corporation.
our cities could be clean, green and peaceful urban paradises… if not for all the fucking cars
car alarms are among the most obnoxious and intrusive inventions of all time, next to the car itself. i can think of many more.
If you support unconditional basic income and want to help advocate for it, one action item you can do is to just check my timeline each day to look for posts that I've reposted. I make a point of regularly amplifying what I consider to be good UBI posts. It takes me hours. It can take you minutes.
For nearly a decade Elon Musk has been claiming Tesla cars can drive autonomously. They clearly cannot. Now California regulators, a Miami jury and a new class action lawsuit are calling out Musk on his bullshit www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah2B...
💯
Putin's an arrogant authoritarian, I think he regards President Zelensky as being beneath him, and not worthy of his attention.
So Musk recycles the 200-year old hare-brained hyperloop, an idea as dumb and impractical today as it was back then. Musk's hyperloop is a vapourware scam designed to undercut public & private investment in practical & proven transit solutions… like trains.
Elon Musk opposes comfortable & safe and stress-free high-speed trains, like they have in Europe and Asian countries, because convenient commuter trains could diminish the need for car ownership, and undercut Musk's car business.
Elon Musk's "Hyperloop" hoopla was really about derailing plans for high-speed trains in California www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVL8...
The AI boom is raising power bills for millions of Americans. Whether you use this technology or not, you’re footing the bill while wealthy tech companies cash in and hardworking Americans fall further behind. www.axios.com/2025/08/04/e...
A friend’s 3-year old on a pedestrian street: “There’s no cars here so we don’t have to hold hands. I can run!”
also implement a universal basic income, and use dividends from AI automation & robotics to help pay for it
Putin wants all of eastern Ukraine, and another Kremlin-friendly puppet regime in Kyiv; like kleptocrat Viktor Yanukovych, who fled to Moscow after his regime beat, shot & killed Ukrainians in the streets for wanting to join the EU, after Yanukovych reneged on EU association, because Putin said NO.
their collective cognitive dissonance is really quite something to behold 🤦♂️
If the average American is experiencing 'financial anxiety', then imagine the overwhelming anxiety & stress of the working poor and those living in poverty. We need to get serious about taxing obscene wealth of the millionaires and billionaires. In a fair & just society, billionaires wouldn't exist.
At this stage no one would be surprised if Donald pasted the original Russian text into his tweets.
Dutch artist Siegfried Woldhek captures the relationship between Trump & Putin perfectly.
From "Apocalypse Manufacturing." Not a joke. www.apocalypse6x6.com
Blackrock's CEO, the highest paid CEO in the world, is now head of the World Economic Forum. Proving that they are one and the same, a vehicle for billionaires to own everything.

While President Zelenskyy was travelling to Washington to meet with Trump, Putin's orcish army were pummelling eastern Ukraine overnight, striking residential buildings and killing civilians. www.nbcnews.com/video/russia...
Enough said.
Putin has revived Russian revanchism and imperialism
That Big Balls is not punched in the face everywhere he goes shows the incredible restraint and lawfulness of DC residents.

President Zelenskyy wears military attire to symbolize his role as a wartime leader and in solidarity with Ukraine's armed forces 💪🇺🇦 Trump and his thuggish regime are just cowards in suits.
And why does Melania have a sawtooth signature, suspiciously similar to Pedo-Don the Conman Trump's signature?
🤖 "Dear Mr Putin, every child shares… blahblahblah… purity, innocence, quiet laughter, untouched by darkness… 🙄 you can restore their melodic laughter… blahblahblah" 😬🤣 Putin's probably thinking to himself 🤔 hmm… that gold-digging Slovenian skank used a chatbot to write me that ridiculous letter.
ChatGPT, probably
i cant believe a country that has spent decades measuring success purely by the accumulation of material wealth has lost its moral compass
nah, rentierism = parasitism. landlords are parasitic cunts.
… and another puppet government in Kyiv, like kleptocrat Viktor Yanukovych's regime, that's friendly to Russia's interests and hostile toward the EU and NATO
This is full dictator mode right after his date with Putin. Of course it's full of lies. Other countries do vote by mail. States do not have to do everything the President says. All Republicans who actually do believe in states' rights should refuse this. And all veterans should get loud about this.
Mohammed left his home to go to work, and when he came back, he found it had been taken over by Israeli settlers. The property, near Ramallah, had been in his family since 1952. "I have to go the legal route to defend my land, but even with a legal process… there’s not much chance," said Mohammed.

Zionist extremists routinely shot & killed Arabs, or bombed trains, cafes, buses, hospitals, markets… you name it. The Irgun also bombed the King David Hotel in July 1946. Ninety-one people of various nationalities were killed that attack. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Da...
If one looks back through history, starting in the mid 1930s, you'll discover that it was actually militant far-right Zionist groups, like the "Irgun," who first committed acts of terrorism in the Middle East. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

I wouldn't trust a 3rd-party VPN provider anymore than I would my ISP. I've just assumed all along that VPN providers are working hand-in-glove with data miners & brokers and other bad actors. People who use VPNs are literally paying 3rd-party companies to spy on them www.youtube.com/watch?v=1opK...
"We should stand up for the principles of international law, and not threaten our partners and allies, just because we think we can."
"They have something that we want, so we've decided that is is okay to use force to threaten them, which makes us no better than Putin, because that's exactly what he's doing in Ukraine, and the threats he's making to other countries."
"We are not militarily threatened by Canada, Panama, or Denmark… And the risk of allowing a policy to stay out there, that we think it is acceptable to threaten weaker neighbours, because that's all we're doing, there's no national security threat here. They don't threaten us at all."
House Armed Services Committee Democrats Ranking Member Adam Smith introduced an amendment to the fiscal year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act to prohibit the use of funds to invade or seize territory from #Canada, Panama, or Greenland. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9Ok...

Lindsey Graham is probably on Grindr right now… looking to get on the knob
Between his crypto ventures, real estate deals, and licensing agreements, Trump and his family have profited off the presidency to the tune of $3.4 billion. The grifter-in-chief knows no bounds. We must not become numb to this.
The State Department released its annual Human Rights Report which removed all mentions of LGBTQI+ persons, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups. These omissions shamefully reflect that protecting human rights is no longer a goal of ours.
land-based fibre optic networks are robust and proven to be reliable and secure, and provide low-latency data transmission rates orders of magnitude faster than satellite-based internet. it only makes sense to build out the fibre networks, or get left behind.
How did Intel's 386 processor connect to the outside world? Tiny wires connect to the bond pads around the edges. Special input/output circuits—visible in zoomed-in blocks—send and receive signals while protecting the chip from dangers that could destroy it. Let's take a look... 1/N
Shoplifters are not the reason most workers haven't had a meaningful pay rise since 2008
this is the kind of authoritarian shit you see in places like Russia… armed goons snatching people off the streets and taking them away in unmarked vehicles.
