Because it’s not about crime. It’s about power and oppression. It’s about continuing the age-old trend of fear mongering that makes otherwise-reasonable people make stupid decisions. It’s about creating and proliferating an environment of fear to make it easy to hold onto that power illegitimately, to make the people…

Ooo! Ooo! A mindless, spineless, taint-suckling, oozing sack of festering excrement!

That’s cool, but the true history of unions and why they’re so important should be repeated whenever possible. If for no other reason than as a counter all the anti-union disinformation flooding the public consciousness (it’s hard to compete with all the anti-union echo chambers created by billionaires, since, you…

They’ve already tried, and it didn’t work. Which is why they caved the last time. The truth is, the people on strike *ARE* the lifeblood of the industry. And they’re tired of useless, overpaid, arrogant execs trying to squeeze them so they can line investor pockets, all while the people doing the work can barely make…

Here’s hoping. SpaceX has done great things for the launch industry, but the last thing *ANYONE* needs is for the industry to get completely captured by megalomaniacal manchild, Musk.

Consider the only realistic outcome for this legislation and agency, if it goes through — both parties want this kind of agency for completely different reasons, and would go about achieving the desired results in incompatible ways. It’s not unlike how one political ideology wants law enforcement to aid in its…

So the world’s many governments are on the brink of catastrophe, their economies are spiraling into the shitter, and another world-wide war looms on the near horizon...but somehow all of these governments have also managed to secretly collude to cover up the biggest secret and discovery in human history and almost…

Yup. The ‘anti-censorship’ Musk is actually *PRO* censorship. But only when he’s the one holding the censorship gavel. So, like every other Republican — a drooling hypocrite, howling to the world about how ‘they’re being silenced’ while actively and aggressively silencing others.

Well, duh? Racists assholes hate it when you call them out for being racist assholes. And what is ‘country music’ if not a safe haven created by racist assholes so they don’t have to have their racist-asshole nature thrown back in their face all the time? ‘Country music’ and racist asshole are practically synonymous. I…

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

It’s the unspoken rule of wealth — ‘I got me and mine, so f*** you and yours’ + ‘Kick the ladder out from under you so no one can follow you up.’ It’s a tradition stretching back hundreds of years, more American than baseball and apple pie.

Because one is a carefully cultivated persona, managed by high-paid PR managers. The other is the real Tom Cruise.

Yes, well, Cameron, the real Skynet won’t a ‘rogue’ super intelligence. It will be a very ‘dumb’ AI , doing exactly what it’s been instructed to do — use the fully autonomous armies privately owned by a cabal of billionaires who have come to the conclusion that the rest of humanity is destroying the planet, are no…

Nobody should be surprised by this. Tom Cruise has shown himself to be your typical American ‘fair weather friend’ type, living by the narcist’s creed for decades — I got me and mine, so fuck you and yours.

And who, exactly, is going to plant a trillion trees? How many, how fast? Where are they going to be planted? Who is going to monitor and take care of them to ensure they actually grow as opposed to the natural attrition rate trees grown in the wild? And, since it’s their popular ‘rebuttal’ to any climate program, who…

I see you’ve made the typical ignorance mistake — correlation does not equate to causation. There is no evidence, and there has never been any evidence to support, even in the slightest, the accusations of government collusion or preferential ‘moderation.’ But go on. Keep on believing your spurious correlations.…

“Stop making us hit you!”

Your understanding of the situation suggests you’re confused, so I’ll help clear up your confusion.

The problem is that he’s either very stupid *OR* very unserious. He’s either making this demand disingenuously — aka political theater — to pander to his base (ie, not stupid, just evil and corrupt). Or he’s making this demand seriously because he’s just really ****ing stupid. This issue is the dead horse beaten into…

“Under anti-strike laws in the UK, striking actors could be sued by Warner Bros. or Legendary Television to be forced back on set.”
