Relevant to every article about another tone deaf and ignorant CEO:

Upton Sinclair — ‘It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.’

Hypocrisy is a fundamental tenant of conservatism. After all, “Do as I say, not as I do!” is one of their commandments.

What’s more unsettling is that the ‘no AI’ request from the WGA was kind of an afterthought that many writers thought wasn’t going to be a big deal, since these tools are obviously pretty bad at writing creatively. They expected it to be an easy concession from the studios. But the studios flat out refused to talk…

Who do you think many of the mass shooters have been, who radicalized them? What do you think is the reason why black people are targeted by police at least twice as often as other people? Or perhaps you are unaware that one of the leading causes of death for black men in America is being killed by cops? Why they’re…

That’s a damn shame. I was honestly holding out hope for and looking forward to seeing what future seasons would hold. Willow is one of the few roles where Warwick Davis got to show his fantastic acting skills as himself on screen, and not as a ‘small person in a suit.’ And, of course, the rest of the cast formed a…

“As long as there’s someone step on beneath me, I will accept being stepped on by those above me.” The White Supremacist’s Prayer.

That whole ‘stopped clock’ thing I guess. I mean, on a technicality, they are both hateful derogatory terms. But that’s where any similarity ends. One of them comes from over three centuries of slavery, violence, murder, intolerance, abuse, oppression, etc, etc, and deserves all the animosity it receives. The other…

An above-ground network is more accessible to bad actors. A below-ground system is only vulnerable at the point where it exists the ground — in this example the pickup kiosk. Of course, below-ground systems have their own challenges stemming from that same difficulty of access, like proper inspections and maintenance.…

I’m pretty sure those two forces are diametrically opposed. Things that are ‘good’ for businesses are almost universally bad for society and vice versa.

That belief in a ‘never happening’ scenario is exactly how Trump won...too many people believed he didn’t stand a chance, that there weren’t enough stupid Americans who would vote for him, handed the ‘president’ ball over to the Republican party, and let them run with it. And run they did...the country, straight into…

Or they forgot to grab one before getting out of their vehicles. It’s a lot harder to plant your drop gun if you forgot it back in the squad car.

I have this ‘crazy’ idea that union dues should be 100% tax deductible, in addition to standard deductions. I mean, part of what we’re supposedly paying our taxes to do is to fund the representation our collective interests. If unions are the only groups reliably doing that, then those tax dollars should be correctly…

There’s also a layer of obstruction and obscuration between union members and union negotiators. It’s why SAG AFTRA is not a particularly good union, because a union that isn’t open and transparent with ALL of its members has most assuredly stopped representing its members. That failure of representation is WHY it’s…

They cannot see in themselves the very evil they think they are fighting against. But then, the US military is often the muscle used by capitalists who want to seize control of the government and/or economies of other countries. These soldiers are told that they are bringing ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ to the people,…

It’s fascinating how police have no problem keeping records of potential criminals, but want no such records kept or made available about *their* actions.

Sure, just as long as you conveniently ignore the fact that any time any country has *TRIED* to set up a socialist economy, capitalists send black-op thugs into that country to destroy it. Why, it’s almost as if capitalists are actually *AFRAID* of socialism because it’s a better, fairer, and more sustainable economic…

Let’s not forget that every donation is also a ‘sale’ that won’t happen, since the donation replaces what otherwise would have required a sale (regardless of whether a sale could have actually happened).

“If it bleeds, it leads! Even if we have to kill you to make it happen!”

It’s amazing how ‘woke’ is essentially the conservative movement’s (as in bowel) newest dogwhistle word for everything they don’t ‘like’ that not-coincidentally is also ‘socially responsible’ and ‘acknowledging reality’ because all pro-fascist nutjobs just can’t accept or don’t care that *THEY* are the bad guys and…
