It's not stupidity. It's the incredible greed of the corporate 0.01% who only care about their net worth and short term gains. It's all intentional.

The GOP has been dummying down education for a reason. Stupid and ignorant people are easily led off a cliff.
Think about how much positive change in women's sports there have been in the last five years. WNBA arenas are full and more women than ever are earning $500k or more. The women's Tour de France is back with more support, viewership, and parity than ever before. More sports have pay equity.
Every single campaign donor to Max Milker should be held accountable and answer for it. Every company, every individual. They are financing his career in politics despite what they know. All who write a checks going forward and donors who don’t demand a refund are complicit.
For the record, AIPAC is NOT going to stop spending money in Michigan. It’s going to support Mike Rogers with as much, or more money. AIPAC is politically agnostic. It only cares about Israel,and who it can manipulate into giving our money to Israel. NO OTHER ISSUE Matters to them. NONE!
If it's pretty obvious by now, I think ESPN has slowly become the FOX News of sports
russia always insisted, even demanded, that they have the right to kill as many people as they want in other countries and destroy other countries for some reason the world has always given them this right democracy has already lost this war, what's forming is a brutal and ugly world
Despite its name, SpaceX said in the documents for its IPO that it expected most of its value to come from AI.
SpaceX made more revenue as an AI company than a space company
But it’s still losing money overall.

Half the Republican Party is like “the economy is amazing all thanks to trump, it’s a golden age” and the other half is like “the economy is terrible and it’s all joe Biden’s fault. Give us two more years and then we will fix it”

Despite being shown boxes of evidence by his own appointee, Trump would rather punish innocent American citizens to cover his mistakes. The man is a monster and everyone that supports him should be voted out of office Sometimes it’s that simple.
No amateur sports program is worth sexually abusing children to prove their gender
Alt-right Christian groups are now pushing a new Rapture and 3 Days of Darkness date. They are saying it will come with Earthquakes, black man made skies, and the eclipse. They are now saying it will come with the eclipses 8/12. I’m not religious, but I like to keep 👀 on their ways.
Oh no doubt. They offered Sliwa $20M to drop out. Why wasn’t that investigated? They paid that sex predator Cuomo millions to run as an independent. I hate Israel with the power of 1000 suns. I hate that they own us
I’m one of those people who also believe that most things — with a number of Significant Exceptions we all know — have gotten a lot better in the last three decades. Here’s another one: TV. Even mid TV shows today have the visual/production/performance quality of Major Motion Pictures in the 80s.
John Pfaff@johnpfaff.bsky.social · 8h agoForty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.
Been reading up on Fundies (fundamentalist Christian’s) and they are indeed a fucked up thing. The creepiness is feature and not a bug.
WHAT GOVERNMENT ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET COULD STILL BELIEVE IN OR TRUST AN AMERICA THAT ELECTED A CHILD RAPIST TO THE OFFICE OF "President," SURROUNDED BY HIS GANG OF DEGENERATES❓️🤣
The Heritage Foundation is run by Opus Dei Catholics Kevin Roberts and Roger Severino. More than 50% of the 100 orgs behind Project 2025 were funded by Opus Dei affiliated Leonard Leo. Miss the faith driven politics and you miss the story. jesspiper.substack.com/p/give-them-...

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.
BREAKING: The New Mexico Department of Justice has sued Acting AG Todd Blanche and the DOJ, requesting the court for access to unredacted Epstein-related investigative files that the DOJ has been withholding.

Why are lobbies spending $70 million on primary races? Can anyone tell me?
The amount of victim blaming here is shocking. An adult man took photos of underage twins (who endured SEVERE childhood abuse), sent them to Hugh Hefner, who flew them from FL to be his “girlfriends” on a tv show which required having sex with him. That’s trafficking. Period. BELIEVE SURVIVORS . 
Lisa Guerrero@lisaguerrero.bsky.social · yesterdayWas there sex trafficking at the Playboy Mansion? Several women have now claimed there was. The parallels to Epstein are extraordinary, but in this case, the crimes were glamorized on tv’s The Girls Next Door. Watch this clip of Karissa Shannon from Lisa Guerrero Unleashed youtu.be/rbCW4poBhXM?...

Waking up to Sharia Law in NYC is crazy. Knicks won, crime is down, 2,000 toddlers are going to school for free, parents got “date night” with nyc babysitters, they’re building housing on city land, small businesses are saving money and selling ice cream. Its sunny out i should go get one.
