Boy, this guy must be feeling pretty dumb right now.

He took it for granted that Democrats would bail out Qevin. Kind of like the Redumblicans did.

Oops. Never rely on your adversaries to do what would have been convenient for you. That seems fairly basic to me.

The likelihood is that Caligula's properties that are owned by New-York-based entities — which could well be ALL of 'em — will be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Bet no one bids a billion dollars for any of it.

The problem is not the media lying to us, the problem is the dumb fuckers that believe the lying media. #WakeUpCanada

Even in CA, it's getting worse. #transgender and #nonbinary people are under physical threat because of the hateful actions of TERFs and Christian Nationalists.

I hope Trump insists on the stand that his apartment really IS 33,000 square feet and hauls out a tape measure with four-inch-long "feet" as evidence.

Via George Takei!

Remember this on Samhain as the veil between worlds of life and death thin🤣

It's time to add a 5th horseman

"Silly-con Valley's favorite gooroo" ain't the flex someone apparently imagines it is.

We're talking about the "billionaire aspirational immortals" clique here.

Boy, being smart sure ain't what it used to be.

"I think a guy who's made a career out of writing about meditation should explain to me — in ten pages — how to 'program' an AI to be compassionate and benevolent."

What the actual fuck even IS that? That's like "just science the shit out of it".

Damn, Sam. Get thee to a nunnery. And stay in your freaking lane, Jack, until you can teach your phone to do vipassana.

In olden days, of hunter-gather and early agriculture, when there wasn't enough to go around, people would spread what there was as best as possible. Some people would give up their portion to help those most vulnerable.

Here we have kabillionaires telling us we're poor because there isn't enough to go around, while they sit on a pile of _half_ the world's wealth, and say this from their towers, mansions, boardrooms and yachts.
