We need to save a #GeneralStrike as the threat if #MAGA tries to #ICE the #2026elections. Corporatists must preserve democracy or be bankrupted.
When the NRA is anti Trump's ICE thugs, that's crucial, tipping point progress for justice (albeit late and slow, still welcomed): www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
#neededinvention the #Wherewasi feature: improve live conversation transcription AI to keep track of #ConversationBranches, flagging ideas alluded to but not "paid off" to ensure points don't get lost. Most parenthetical side notes etc. prolly worthless, but save the gold.
Viewing the unfathomable #ScaleOfTime, maybe some beings live #eons and regard us in the same ratio as humans to #LightningBugs. We're so proud of cleverly blinking our lights, we don't get that the lack of response is because they're still #ReachingForTheRaid. 🤔🤷♂️
*CURRENT* DOJ POLICY: >>"firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle... (when) no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes MOVING OUT OF THE PATH of the vehicle."<<<

#NoteToSelf @ time with a #NeatFreaks: Think of how much you'd pay to avoid the fight (not piss'em off), and then consider complying in advance as paying yourself.
The former Republican Nominee (from less than a decade ago) now advocates for more popular (progressive) policies than corporatist Democrats who repulsed voters into electing Trump twice. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o...
What's your maximum #HomelessPopulation to #VacantHomeinventory RATIO threshold?
If you can tolerate 9x, why not 50x or 1000x? How does increasing the number of housing units help if investors are incentivized to keep ANY off the market?
Tax & #PenalizeVacantHomes until homelessness ends.

Watch Trump's disappearing pinky frame-by-frame on the #TheWhiteHouse YouTube video -- see link: youtu.be/-q1N6Akpz9c?...
#pinkygate #BenRichardsWasFramed
#TheRunningMan is a documentary #BenRichardsWasFramed
SERIOUSLY — Watch it at 0.25x speed. This is inarguably at least partially faked.

You can even scoff, "who cares if it's #pinky #vfx video?"
But, IMO, that's scary line-crossing when the evidence is this dispositive. Have the decency to lie to us with ambiguous evidence, like a normal politician.
But IDK, maybe be grateful that they're "D-" students?
#PinkyGate #aipropaganda
This is from the ACTUAL WHITE HOUSE YouTube channel. Watch Trump's pinky *DISAPPEAR* at 0m18s. You can debate if it's AI or other VFX, but the video has undeniably been manipulated, and yet the White House shamelessly claims it's totally real.
Part 2 of the prompt: >>"The design is elegant, highlighting the beauty and depth of marble. The lighting in the image should enhance the sculpture's contours and textures, creating a visually stunning and mesmerizing effect"<<
Upload your photo and prompt: >>"A photorealistic image of an ultra-detailed sculpture of the subject in image made of shining marble. The sculpture should display smooth and reflective marble surface, emphasizing its luster and artistic craftsmanship."<<...Cont'd...
AI has gotten so advanced that people will think sculptors didn't spend a year making these statues of me for the museum.
OK. FINE. Here's the prompt in Gemini...
In subjective matters of taste and a potential new client’s whim, any element, action, or word could matter. So #EverythingMatters. Only ever break a rule or defy an expectation deliberately and for a specific effect. If you get an unwanted, unexpected result, change strategies.
I love this video made by my buddy, John Ennis. You might almost think he animated a real RFK speech.

...maybe I'm being Pollyanna (notably overriding my partisan politics), but you'd better hope I'm right.
Hypothesis: I perceive so relatively few are talking about "passing along tariff costs to consumers." (MAGA won't speak of it) that the zeitgeist won't *accept* prices rising as much as they did during the pandemic.
Maybe...
When everyone *accepts* that inflation "has gotta be bad for a while" (e.g., during #Covid & #SupplyChain), people tolerate even greater inflation, which enables businesses to charge even more. 📈 The proof of this is that profit margins *INCREASED* to #RecordProfits 2021-2023. #Greedflation
And...
#TrumpTariffs may squeeze corporate profit margins more than increase inflation.📉 🤔Contrary to popular economic opinion, nowadays, I think the zeitgeist massively influences inflation (independent of economic realities). So...
Caveats: It's a short story in the "Free eBooks" rankings. But still, given ~10K new fiction titles per week, I'm psyched it did so well in legit categories and grateful to y'all who downloaded/read it.🙏

Holy Crap! My new book is an Amazon #1 Bestseller!🤯🤗😊 *(with a bunch of caveats) #AliensVenmoedMeaTrillionDollars hit:
#1 in First Contact
#1 in Cyberpunk
#1 in Hard Sci-Fi
#1 in Short Reads
#2 in all of Sci-Fi
#61 in all eBooks
With the impending AI jobs apocalypse, #CriticizingUBI saying, “labor for fear of your family’s starvation, makes you feel productive.” — is odd coming from billionaires who don’t work.
Do I take goofy pride in more people getting #AliensVenmoedMeaTrillionDollars than George Orwell's #AnimalFarm (for however long this lasts)? I'll just para-quote this: "Some authors are more equal than others."😜
