The surprising thing to me, if this is the first time in history, is that this means they invited him every year of his first term.

Netanyahu’s government faced a vote of no confidence. A day later, his planes were in the air bombing Iran.

Well, with the straight of Hormuz closed, we can blame sky high food prices on that instead of us getting rid of all the farm workers.

One day he fell dead on the pavement by no hand. He happened to die next to…

What do you think the word “communist” meant before Marx?

Gunman identified when he showed his drivers license to a McDonald’s cashier, a completely normal and everyday occurrence that happens all the time to poor people and no we aren’t making this up, why do you ask?

people were telling me in December, ‘You know, you’re overreacting.’

One day after saying this, the former speaker of the Minnesota house is gunned down by a pro-Trump extremist.

This will cause gas prices to increase, which is exactly what Russia wants. Of course, with both Russian and Iranian gas production under attack, I wonder which group that recently increased production will benefit? Well, for a while, until mines start appearing in the straight of Hormuz.

Random vote of no confidence motion against Bibi is domino-ing into a global energy crisis.

Ban hemp! Ban homeless! Let MY cops harass and kill protestors, not the military!

Is this what democrats are reduced to these days?

What if everyone that goes to a "No Kings Day’ protest did one thing BESIDES protesting. Pledge to NPR. Switch to a credit union. Boycott one company you were going to buy from anyways that supported Trump. Go on to your states sos site and sign nominating petitions for 2026 and give $5 clean election funds. Attend one political meeting. Something!

Just going out and holding a sign with a catchy slogan makes YOU feel good, but doesn’t really do anything else. And long gone are the days where any of the elected republicans would worry about what non-republican primary voters in their district think.

Which begs the question I’ve been asking for some time now: If someone tries to run someone over, and they respond by (non-fatally) shooting the driver, who gets arrested? (Assume both are white republicans).

Hopefully Iran will divert a bunch of drones they were going to give to Russia to retaliate against Israel.

Such interconnectedness - Seoul becomes safer with each North Korean artillery shell fired at Ukraine, and Ukraine becomes safer with every drone launched against Israel.

Only a few states have state guards, which are like national guard groups that have no connection to the federal government. Most of these are on the east coast in democratic areas because republicans look at them and go: “Why do we have a state guard and a national guard? They do they same thing. If we cut the state guard, we can pass a tax cut!”

However, state guards are perfectly legal. In fact, that is what the 2nd amendment means when it says ‘well regulated militia’. Sadly, I don’t think California has one.

Let’s hope Hogg doesn’t switch to Musk’s new party.

We will (still) allow children’s cartoon characters to be mutilated and put into explicit situations and then push them as child friendly, but how dare you use a swear in the first 15 seconds of a video or say the work kill.

Where would he find all the military people at such short notice to … ohhhhhhhh.

“Willful childlessness?” Is that like the opposite of incel? Volcel?

To me, it is the loss of meaningful work.

Alot of people have complained “why take arts and coders jobs - make AI take the drudgery filled work first and leave us the art and writing!” The problem is: automation already came for those jobs. In 90% of jobs today, the job CAN be automated with no AI needed. It just costs more to automate it then to pay a minimum wage worker. Than means anyone who works those jobs isn’t ACTUALLY doing those jobs. They are instead saving their employer the difference between their pay and the amount needed to automate it.

Before genAI came, there were a few jobs that couldn’t be automated. Those people thought that they not only have job security, but they were the only people actually producing things worth value. They were the ones that weren’t just saving a boss a buck. Then genAI came. Why write a book, code a program, or paint a painting if some program can do the same? Oh, it is better? More authentic? It is surprising how much of the population doesn’t care. And AI is getting better - poisoned training and loss of their users critical thinking skills not withstanding.

Soon, the only thing proud a worker can be about their work is how much they saved their employers money; and for most people that isn’t meaning enough. Somethings got to change.
