Right? Like, there's a very stark discrepancy between the sheer volume of people that billionaires directly harm and the fact that none of those people have been crazy enough to try something. You'd expect a new "Crazed Gunman Killed/Tried to Kill CEO" story every week AT LEAST.
The fact that billionaires are not getting murdered is very weird. No, I'm not (necessarily) advocating for it to happen, but there are plenty of people in the world who are crazy enough, have the required skills, and have been hurt by billionaires that it feels like it should be more common.
Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲
“One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.”

fun fact: the source of nutmeg(Banda islands) was one of the most fiercely guarded literal trade secrets in the history of our species, like people were tortured, killed and died to keep this knowledge from first Arabs and then Europeans because everyone wanted to be the seller
Idea: every corporation of more than 50 people that lays off more than 10% of its workforce at a time should be required to pay all of those salaries IN FULL for a minimum of 1 year severance. You want to replace workers with AI, you pay for the privilege.
"How can Democrats claim to be the party of change, going into the November midterms and then 2028, if they’re led by someone who always resists it?"
My case for the Dems chucking out Chuck Schumer, especially after his recent arms-to-Israel vote:
My guess is Ellison wants a #StarTrek that makes a lot of money, so his objection to the Kurtzman vision, rather than purely ideological, is it alienated too many people to make money
Just as I think he will empower Gunn to do whatever he wants at DC, he should give Frakes the keys to Star Trek
Among the dozens of things Trump says happened every day that didn't happen, this "NATO JUST CALLED ME" didn't happen the hardest. This is "The Pope Said Iran Should Have Nukes" level of shit-he-made-up
NATO called him. Steve NATO 🤦🏼♂️
The President is, bluntly, brain-dead
Trump does have a lot in common with a wrinkly, giant, worm-man that insists on being emperor forever.
Naturally. Nothing makes the corpofascists that run the US happier than pillaging natural beauty, squeezing every resource from it, then paving over the hole with yet another Walmart and its parking lot. Capitalists can't see natural beauty, they only see dollar signs.
The 60 years of Star Trek...
From a voice of social consciousness to Paramount/CBS self promotion...
From "...to seek out new life and new civilizations..." & "Can I help?" to being run by our Ferengi like Oligarchy!
Soulless pricks like the Ellisons are looking for more gold-pressed latinum...
Bad, spoiled food while on distant deployment for a bullshit ego war is LITERALLY why the Potemkin mutinied. Sure would be cool if US sailors had those kinds of spines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian...

United States Ambassador To Italy Mrs Clare Boothe Luce Listens To The Words Of Pope Pius Xii,During An Audience At The Pontiff'S Lakeside Summer Residence.13 October 1955
American conservative politician Clare Boothe Luce converted to Catholicism in 1946.
In a 1953 meeting with Pope Pius XII, she was fiercely lecturing the pontiff on the Church's moral duty to fight communism when the Pope finally interrupted her.
"You know, Mrs. Ambassador, I am a Catholic too."
What a fucking ghoul. This heartless, selfish, senile, shithead doesn't even seem aware of other people in the room.
In case anyone wonders why I'm opposed to the "shove AI in everything" mentality, this is a perfect example. Corporate assholes will ONLY use it to cause misery. They don't care who they hurt, because the hurt is the point. Hurt, exhausted, broken people make obedient wage slaves.
Do they think we don't see what they're doing to Gaza and West Bank? That we don't know where they learned it from? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_...
Yeah, there have NEVER been any problems with a nation carving its own "living space" out of its neighbours.
They're not even hiding the "living space" justification.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

So once again a man started a wildly successful harassment campaign against a female celebrity who didn’t actually do anything and the internet swallowed it full throated, and the whole thing is revealed to be concocted horseshit he can’t muster anything more than “sorry that happened I guess”
This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist
I don’t even like her or her music that much but when you realize that Roan, who left her talent agency when she found out the CEO was in the Epstein Files, is getting more hate than half the people in the actual Epstein files, you do have no choice but to become this woman’s strongest soldier
An image of text written by Justin Peel, Owner & CEO of Virtual Pulse LLC. it reads: To our valued community, at Virtual pulse, we stand firmly behind our talent Admiral Trina. Recent discussions surrounding a personal post have led to a wave of harmful assumptions and mischaracterizations that do not reflect who she is or what she represents. We want to be clear: our talents are individuals entitled to their own perspectives and they deserve to express themselves without being subjected to harassment or defamation. Admiral Trina is a valued member of our organization, and she has our full support. We will always prioritize the well-being, safety, and professional integrity of those under our banner. We encourage respectful dialogue within the community. However, targeted harassment, false accusations, or attempts to damage the reputation of our talent will not be tolerated. Virtual pulse was built on the principles of respect, growth, and opportunity. We will continue to uphold those values in how we support and protect our team.
Justin Peel CEO My name is Justin Peel, and I'm the owner and founder of Virtual Pulse LLC. I started this agency on April 17 2023, with the goal of creating something unique, an idol company built on structure, passion, and real support for the talents we work with. My background is a mix of music, leadership, and service. I studied music education at Northern Kentucky University before transferring to Cincinnati State to pursue business management. Outside of Virtual Pulse, I serve as a full-time police officer at UC Health and graduated from the UC Clermon Police Academy in 2019. I'm also a Sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves, a role I've proudly held since April 2018. This agency wouldn't exist
Additional info, the owner of the studio responded.
Also of note that said CEO is an active duty police officer & US army reserve sergeant
Trina may not be a recruiter in job title but the propaganda & idolisation of military service is still 100% real
Indiana JOnes and the Great Circle really is great because it's a first person action adventure game that is brave enough to be like, "You will fight, like, 2 guys at a time, and then only rarely"
