AI Google is so annoying. If you type in a quote, looking for attribution, unless you include, "Who said", the Artificial Idiot gives you a fifth-grader's book report on the meaning of the quote, but fails to provide attribution. Old Google would have put the attribution at the top of the results.

Did anyone ever consider, instead of us giving billions to Israel, and them giving millions back to bribe Congress into being servants of Israel, we just keep the billions and bribe our own Congress people into being servants of America?

Does anyone remember, way back in 2015, when typing "grifter" in any text would get flagged by spell check? That no longer happens. One little way Trump has made America smarter and better.

People, you understand there aren't any actual nations, or races, right? Imaginary lines on a map are not real. Skin color is just color. Everyone is human is the only reality. There are no others, there are only we. Until we stop playing childish games of nations and race, our species is doomed.

Fascists need an enemy. As each enemy is eliminated, the fascists need at least a few new enemies. Eventually, everyone, everywhere, is an enemy to the fascists. Never get too cozy with fascists, eventually, inevitably, no matter what you do or don't do, YOU will be declared an enemy, too.

Frogbert's Corollary to Poe's Law: It is impossible to write anything so stupid it cannot be reasonably attributed to Donald Trump.

The oligarchy keeps people deliberately ignorant, informed by lies, and and motivated by rage and hate. People make decisions based not on their own best interest, but for REVENGE against people they never met, to punish them for things they never did.

She blinded me with SCIENCE! No, seriously. Because Force = Mass x Acceleration, and the pointed end of a sharp stick concentrates even minimal force into enormous localized pressure, thus allowing said pointed stick to easily overcome the structural bonds of a softer material. Like an eye. Ow.

Social Democracies provide safety nets which soften the sharp edges of dog-eat-dog capitalism, and provide vital public services equitably for the benefit of all, when naked capitalism would callously and eagerly leave millions starving and homeless to die in the dark.

I have always thought the only reason the US right-wing ever hated Stalin's Soviet Union is that Stalin never cut them in on the grift. Otherwise, what's the difference in their ruling ideologies?

America will not have redeemed its immortal soul until 90% of the people in the entire world can legitimately ask, "What was a Trump?"

"Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind." – The 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi), "Dr. Who, Twice Upon a Time (2017)," written by Steven Moffat, Kit Pedler, Gerry Davis I have never heard a truer, more Christ-like, moral philosophy than this. And it popped up on a silly, sci-fi TV show.

This is Trump: $5 ladies and gentlemen, that's all it cost for this amazing new product. Yes, for a mere $10 you can have it for your own! Isn't it worth just $20 to own the security that only $100 brings you? For the peace of mind that comes at the cost of just $500 dollars? Send your $5,000 now!

Today is my weekly visit to Bluesky settings to tell them to stop autoplaying GIFs, which they keep resetting to autoplay every week.

Billionaires: I want AI robot factories so I can fire all my human employees and can keep all the money for myself! Also billionaires: I deserve to pay no taxes because I am a job creator.

Billionaires: I want AI robot factories so I can fire all my human employees and can keep all the money for myself! Also billionaires: I assume other people will hire and provide good wages for the people I fire so they can buy the products built by my AI robot factories. This makes sense.

Do you remember how, about a year ago, Trump was all about, "I hope I go to heaven." Then a bit later he said, "I guess I'm not going to heaven. Oh, well." Since then, I genuinely think he's been auditioning for a senior management position in hell. Explains a whole lot.

If your "Pastor" is a multi-millionaire with a mansion, a private jet, and a yacht, you are not worshipping God, you are the victim of a multi-level marketing scam selling cut-rate salvation on an easy-interest layaway plan, and souvenir Jesus in the gift shop.
