A civilization that uses these weapons isn’t worth defending.

If businesses cant tell the difference between employees and slaves, then we all have a major fucking problem.

The tail is wagging the dog. Not a good position for US to be in. Makes us look weak. This is not how friends treat each other.

Just europe?

Sounds like real live, actual fascism.

Reminds me of Martin Wolf.

MAGA is eating out the new College of Florida from inside, just as the larva of the spider wasp eats out the host in which it has been laid.

It also applies to the GOP. Hopefully it doesn’t apply to the whole USA.

Corporate-funded obsequious lackeys are de-civilizing our society. They’re forcing us into survival mode so we’re unable to marshal any kind of response to their tyranny.

For those of you who think AI and related technologies will be a force for good, you might refresh your understanding of the millennia of slavery that preceded our short-lived liberal era. My personal fear is that the ruling class will use technology to enslave us again.

Look how they’re behaving already, in the cold light of day, in a time when we have HD video and instant communication. In the face of super-powerful tech, we’re doomed. Even this comment I’m writing now will be scooped up by machines and used against me in the future in ways I can scarcely imagine now.

I know it’s a stretch, but the fact of dehumanizing our pregnant mothers, newborn babies, and hopeful fathers cannot be separated from the ancient propensity of the ruling class to enslave.

Everything about amazon sucks.

I wonder if this is related to the falling college enrollment for young men. I’m just speculating.

Dishonor isolates.

Where is the fucking FBI??

He was de-lived in 2019.

And remember Prince Bandar was super best friends with the Bush family. They called him “Bandar Bush.” And never forget Bush Sr sat on the board of Carlyle Group with siblings of Bin Laden. The stench of criminality is inescapable with these people. Like a fart that never leaves your nose, the Saudi/Bush regimes are a fetid sewer system of putrefying shit.

Pardon the pun, but Nestle Waters should be nationalized and liquidated. Governments regularly take control of the assets of criminals. Why not these obvious ones?

Oh my god the Garland is doing something! Gather around, children, this only happens once per century.

Let’s not forget to thank Oprah Winfrey for platforming Playboy centerfold/medical doctor Jenny McCarthy and her anti-vax nonsense in the 2000s also.

More like fart-fight free-ball

Silicon Valley and dehumanization. Name a more iconic duo. Seriously, though. Every part of the human estate that technologists touch turns to shit or gets pilfered. Throw this on the pile.

I was really gobsmacked listening to the Ultra podcast by Rachel Maddow about Nazis infiltrating the government during WWII. The parallels were so frighteningly similar to today, but in a way reassuring in that some things never change. There will always be schmucks in politics trying to ruin everyone’s time. The struggle for decency is perennial.

Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle” comes to mind.
