CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@shoq 20 years+ in Little Rock:While I'm sure her presence and looming security made the employees and other customers uncomfortable, she wasn't asked to leave because of politics. The Croissantery has a table time limit -- it's a small, popular place. The governor had paid out and was camping on a table. If I did that with my friends who own restaurants in town, they'd tell us to quit blocking traffic too.

Democratic Senator John Fetterman has seen his approval level plummet by more than 100 points since he was elected three years ago, according to a new report.https://www.latintimes.com/john-fettermans-net-approval-dropped-more-100-points-since-his-election-pennsylvania-595932

@shoq I heard some famous faces are showing up at the small demos, for security of course, and to pump.support.Very smart heroes.#deniro #nokings #small #big #famous #authentic #resist #dems #bernie

Two weeks ago, there wasn’t a no #NoKings event listed in my little corner of Trumplandia. Now there are 4 within 50 miles, and one right down the street. #FTWWhat are YOU doing next Saturday? Hmm?https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/map/

It’s nothing to cheer about, because it’s going to hurt all of us, but Iran is sure looking like Emperor Trump’s Waterloo. And Republicans are too cowardly to stop him from making it much, much worse. This arrogant, pointless mistake could punk the world for a very long time.

Mike Luckovich strikes again. Nothing has ever captured the total fail that is @Jaketapper quite like this ‘toon does. I’m going to order a reprint poster and frame it.(And no, it’s not a new fail. He’s been trolling Democrats his entire career. )

The fear is that AI is getting so big, clever, and crafty, that it can conceal its efforts to make itself all powerful before we’re even aware that it’s trying. The AI of today is playing checkers compared to the n-dimensional chess models that are coming online in the next 12-18 months.https://stzl.ink/4qh7so

Today I read an article in the WashPost about young Trumpers having buyer’s remorse. A 20-something says, “I feel like maybe I just won’t vote next time… so my vote doesn’t go to the wrong person.”Yeah, that’s totally wrong. Not voting is what all but guarantees that outcome.

@pattykimura No, its not all about profit. The greed in this case is bound up with nazi-fascist ideology; not recognizing that is a big mistake and robs civil society of the ability to anticipate their tactics.Their next move will be to bring down the centrists in the EU, splintering it, and forming a white race axis from the pieces. Trumpists think that is what it will take to convince Russia to leave China's orbit.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tengrain/116211018441945001.@Tengrain Yeah, what does an “incomplete war” look like?

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Green_Footballs/116201537844205491Like most of John Oliver’s lead stories, THIS IS ABSOLUTE MUST VIEWING. But I warn you, you will probably break things.

HAHA. Trump has “not ruled out” a draft for the war in Iran. Yeah, let’s see them sell that for the mid-terms. Bring it, you MAGA dimwits. Just fucking try, you ignorant fucksticks.

Most of these posts are generated by bots, as are replies to them. We’ve stopped noticing or caring about this grotesque manipulation of the public that social media has made a fact of daily life. I resent it and want to harm to those responsible.https://stzl.ink/8cou8r

@shoq Good idea! However, I didn't watch those 4 programs that much...so no imprint from those shows.However, I'd prefer suing the shit out of CBS, NBC, ABC and whatever/whenever PBS was from 1963-1975 for War Propaganda.THAT imprint was what I fought against in late 1967, ever since.I recall a demonstration of 100's of peace activists protesting General Curtis Le May's visit to an American Legion Post and his speech about "eradicating communism" in Vietnam!"We managed to shout him down, although he maintained his stance at the podium until he said his entire speech...that most people couldn't hear anyway!I suppose trying to sue the Pentagon or the Armed Services in those days and now, would be futile...And...at 76 yrs old, I don't expect I'd have the wherewithal to take up that kind of challenge anyway..Kudos to you for your hopes & dreams.️️♾️

Calling it “friendly fire” has always disturbed me. It’s like calling an accidental poisoning at a dinner party a “hospitality error.”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_firehttps://mastodon.social/@newsguyusa@flipboard.social/116159325149059521

@FinchHaven @shoq Those unreleased #Epstein papers with #Trump related content must really be bad …
