The majority of Americans agree with this, imo. The problem is Congress! 😡

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Verge headline: Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want by Elizabeth Lopatto Illustration of a brain melting in the sun

"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

#StephenColbertShow only has one month left. We need to boost his ratings way up before he leaves on May 21st, then drop CBS/Paramount flat. Show them they made a big mistake.

We can do all this but we can't control annihilation of the Democracy or stop climate change greed...

If AI is so great, remove it from everything where it's been implemented without user consent and make it a user pays subscription service and see how many people REALLY want it

Why was a democracy created, fought and died for repeatedly just to have major bone spurs be given the reins of its downfall???

DUH, ya think???

Elon Musk's growing empire is fueled by $4.9 billion in government subsidies Los Angeles entrepreneur Elon Musk has built a multibillion-dollar fortune running companies that make electric cars, sell solar panels and launch rockets into space.

Our government has been giving Musk BILLIONS of our tax dollars for over a decade to work on EVs, solar panels and such, but he chose to buy himself elections and destroy our Democracy with it.

It made him a billionaire, and so NO ONE can stop him now...

WE lost.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

California and Virginia actually let their voters have a say in redistricting! Did Texas let their voters have a say? Nope!

Guess What❓

One thing, self!

“Most artists are concerned about how long they’ll be around. I’m concerned about how long my music will be around.”
- Prince

On this day 2016, Prince passed at 57. It's been a decade since the end of The Purple Reign. Stunning musician, Rock, R&B, Pop & Funk legend, beyond brilliant guitarist.

I just googled " what happens when a dumb malignant narcicist starts losing?" Sound like anyone(s) you know of??? share.google/aimode/dsDya...

"This is an important thing to think about."

Gawd forbid humans should ever escape this planet! More space junk to polluted the atmospere...

How bout taking a look at other countries mandatory and equal service for all with benefits!

Greed and avarice will be the downfall of Western civilization. Not empathy, as Elon Musk claims.

Monterey Park becomes the first city in California to ban "all data centers within city limits" Residents of the small enclave east of LA not only killed their city's proposed 250,000 square foot data center, they pushed city council to ban them altogether

The "public comments at the hearing before the vote left little doubt that Monterey Park residents overwhelmingly disdained not only the prospect of a massive, noisy, and polluting infrastructure project being erected in their backyards, but who that project would benefit, at their expense.”

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious

As Trump's war on Iran continues, reminder that his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth.

And another one bites the dust...

When will these guys get it, they need no help defaming themselves?

With the leak to the NYT of their internal notes to each other, I hope the conservative justices on SCOTUS are currently *very* paranoid about talking to each other. Because at least one of them is (or has staff who is) indiscreet and disloyal.

Keep looking over your shoulders, fascists!
