The programming isn't predictive. But the stupidity is.

I feel like I’ve finally unlocked some new level in the Bluesky arcade game where there’s finally a Stancil auto-debate where I feel compelled to say no that’s completely stupid no matter how many ways you say it.

Catholic teaching holds capital punishment is inadmissible in all circumstances. End of story. Catholics, like JD Vance, who support capital punishment are at odds with the Church, Pope Leo, and the late Pope Francis. There is no room for disagreement.

Pope Leo condemns death penalty,

Without explicitly referring to the scheduled execution of the Fort Hood killer, the Pope reiterates the Church’s opposition to the death penalty. In the US, Vice-President Vance says he will not watc...

If you hate fascism, if you care about the future of the planet, if you hate science denialism and stupidity, if the manosphere sickens you, then you should be done with Spotify once and for all. Joe Rogan is one of the prime movers who brought us MAGA and Trumpism. Spotify is his paymaster.

The wrongly named Save College Sports Act is a gift to Trump, Ted cruz, and MAGA. A Democratic house should kill it. A bipartisan bill to cap what the (mainly Black) athletes who generate all the money, can earn, is intensely anti-labor. Funny how it caught fire when black athletes started earning.

The new Trump propaganda ads should frighten and disturb everyone. They aren't ego boosts for a decrepit, broken down, dementia patient. The regime is prepping the nation for whatever horrible things Trump does to maintain his grip on power. Communism is a stand-in for Democratic government.

Immediately after explaining how Trump's secret service protection requires deconflicting radio traffic between coaches and sidelines, the ABC audio feed goes to hell. Trump should be banned from football stadiums.

Just saw this sick disgraceful government propaganda spot paid for by you and me. Love Trump? No. Hate his filthy disgusting guts. What a way to ruin a football game. Of course it's on Fox. The sick delusions coming out of DC must end. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Another reason Democrats have no business cooperating with Trump's GOP after the midterms. Cooperation is collaboration. Dems should do only the bare minimum to keep the lights on until Trump is gone. If there's a govt shutdown, it will be on Trump.
