“Trump has a record. And that record was nothing short of catastrophic for workers

“He never cared about our jobs. Or our wages. Or our pensions and health care. Or even our safety.

“Trump just cared about making his rich buddies even richer at our expense.

“Let’s be very clear: He doesn’t deserve the labor movement's support — or the support of any working-class person across this country”
- Ron Bieber, president of the MI AFL-CIO

Stop calling it AI. It isn't. Intelligence forms thoughts and makes decisions, these algorithms are advanced and very intricate but that's all it is. They want you think it's AI because they can claim it's "generative" instead of "derivative" which it is. It makes it easier for them to not credit and pay the actual creators it was derived from. Its on purpose. AI didn't create anything. A computer program took a bunch of existing material and mashed it up. It's not evil, the scam of it is

"It's all about distraction.

'Don't look over there, where a New York judge just ruled that the Trump Organization is liable for fraud,' says the carnival barker. 'Looky here, we've got some right-wing opinion bloviators coming to testify against Joe Biden.'"

Trump held a “union” rally at an auto part plant.

The plant was NOT a union plant — it’s not repped by the United Auto Workers.

And hundreds of the “workers” were actually Trump ringers — many who were PAID by Trump to be there.

Phony, fake, fraudulent — all of it.

The senior senator of my home state of California, Dianne Feinstein, has passed away at age 90. She was a trailblazer and a leading advocate for an assault weapons ban. May she rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing.

Sen. Feinstein’s death also reported by the ABC TV network station in San Francisco: https://abc7news.com/senator-dianne-feinstein-dead-obituary-san-francisco-mayor-cable-car/13635510/

The smiling faces of Bayon under the Milky Way in Angkor Wat, Cambodia. These serene faces are believed to be of King Jayavarman VII. Scattered throughout the complex they instill a sense of peace and tranquility.

The American Anthropological Association issued a statement on why they chose not to have a proposed lecture coming up, and it kicks ass.

"The function of the “gender critical” scholarship advocated in this session, like the function of the “race science” of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is to advance a “scientific” reason to question the humanity of already marginalized groups of people, in this case, those who exist outside a strict and narrow sex / gender binary."

O.O

Another view that more clearly shows how many are out protesting today in Zahedan, on the anniversary of the largest massacre against the "Women! Life! Freedom!"-protesters.

Jared Kushner had never been a diplomat — but he was named Trump’s envoy to the Middle East.

Jared Kushner had never been an investor — but he was given $2 billion to invest for the Saudis.

Jared is 100% unqualified — except for nepotism.

Jared is the real “Hunter Biden.”

I think Elon Musk doesn't see a rise in hate speech on Twitter because he's one of those who posts it..

Dear journalists: By remaining on the deadbird site you are actively supporting a business whose owner in in league with people who want to end our democracy. He's further eviscerated what was left of the team that was trying to keep election information honest (for typically inane Muskish reasons).

Please admit, at least to yourselves, that you're not merely using a handy platform. You are collaborating with him. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/09/28/elon-fires-half-of-extwitters-election-integrity-team-because-a-manager-liked-a-tweet-calling-him-a-fucking-dipshit/

Biden's speech from yesterday sought to invoke bipartisan support for the Constitution, and for democracy.
Once didn't seem like a hard thing to do, but now it really is
