We have all self-owned, otherwise we wouldn’t be  in the worst timeline.

I’m not sure they’re setting them up as correct - but they are the default in our current media, which is the problem that everyone’s struggling with.

Just because some technology that was considered not useful became useful does not mean that every innovation/invention/discovery is, in fact, useful. I’ve seen no (in my admittedly limited) indication that NFTs or blockchain ‘coin’ of any brand, is going to be one of those things that turns out to have some use. …

I belive he owes a shit-ton of money and he’s tanked his career by being an end stage alcoholic, and - clearly- can’t let this go (which seems the state of the entire relationship), so he’ll keep digging.

huh.  Guy is famous for blowing his top an ‘trash’ talking.  Does trash talk. Gets banned.  If we don’t like those kinds of impulsive outburts, maybe don’t hire/forefront him in the first place.  That said,  there’s plenty of types of insults that aren’t based on intrisic characteristics (like race, sex, gender, etc)…

They’re grifters.  That’s all.

Honestly, that seems like both a more meaningful post - the women who are also fighting in the Ukraine - and somewhat withing Jez. wheelhouse.  Pity they went for the lowers possible fruit here.

Not sure that Faux News is a good arbitrator of taste ... or of anything.

Ukraine was in the process of getting admitted to NATO, one of the main reasons Putin invaded in the first place, and the same reason why he’s threatening ... Norwary? Finland? Both? Because they’ve been considering joining NATO as well.  NATO membership and potential membership is a huge part of this issue, aside…

But he also kind of has to, in his mindset.  He cannot afford to look weak or that anyone else in the world is more manly, brave, decisive and history making.  It’s the same mentality that is going to make him carpet bomb the entire country rather than give up on this stupid war, or makes him threaten northern…

While the whole sexy!Ukranian PM thing isn’t to my taste, it is actually possible for people to post dumb, non-serious whatevers about the man (who, yes, is likely to be killed in the next week or so) *and* do something more serious like protest, or donate money or throw the republicans out of their town or whatever.

meh.  delete.

It needs reform but Thomas and whatever is name crying bro rapist dude, are both vulnrable to impeachment - Thomas most.  But that depends on someone besides the repubs holding congress.

The larger issue is that people who use chat bots/metaverse/secondlife/etc become accustomed to a ... filtered version of relationships (whether it looks ‘good’ or not) and may not actually develop the skills or desire to engage in the same way in direct, unfiltered (ie: real world) ways. OTOH - between the constant…

probably because that’s kinda shady. Also, I personally think I’d rather see folks get their social consequences when they show how thoughtlessly selfish/otherwise awful they are.

Well, nothing good will get done, next congress.  The repubs are experts are making sure their own members march in lockstep to whatever Mitch wants done next.

She’ll make her bank being the lefty on right wing nut job interviews and news sites.

Probably nothing at this point. She’ll just need to be voted out - which I expect will happen and she’ll move right into lobbying, paid speeches and the usual circuit that former politicians go to - even ones that are generally considered horrible.

While it’s true that reducing diversity isn’t so great ... it really shouldn’t be the job of Black folks, particularly Black kids, to make sure white folks don’t grow up to be assholes. I get that it is, that the oppressed usually have to do all the heavy lifting to reduce their own oppression, but ... maybe someday…

I think he’s not the first to wear underwear on his face as a ‘message’. I think in the (very unlikely) event that someone does this around me, I’m going to call the police and or everyone and loudly proclaim a sex pervert has stolen a woman’s underwear and is sniffing them in public - here’s hoping for a spot on the…
