This is fantastic. I remember this and that brilliant line about how capitalism is mutable in the same way as the “divine right kings”. Amazon is loathsome, both its rapacity and predatory origins of its business model. It started with books because mail order books were a proven business model and bookstores were vulnerable.

Fortunately local bookstores are making a huge comeback.

From Sen. Bernie Sanders:

Trump, Mike Johnson, and the GOP are pushing a racist voter suppression bill

The bill would make it harder for EVERYONE to register to vote and cast their ballots — all while villainizing immigrants. It’s straight from the far-right, Project 2025 playbook. And, Trump and the GOP already have the advantage to win the Electoral College.

Our Revolution is getting the word out to stop this bill! We need to get people speaking out now.

Bleech…good, I need something to help me avoid it instead of clicking through 3 hour marathons of bad alrliner landings…

Yay Yippee! As an avid Star Trek fan, I’m so excited for this. I have so much respect for these women and I will definitely be joining this call to support the campaign. Registration info can be found here: womenofstartrek.com

White Mobs Ambush Black People in Georgia in Mass Lynching

On September 19, 1868, as Black politicians and supporters held a peaceful political rally, mobs of white people in Camilla, Georgia, led by the sheriff, opened fire, killing at least seven Black people, including a Black mother and her infant child, in a mass lynching and assaulting and wounding at least 30 others.

I don’t think they’re representative of regular voters. “Undecideds” who become part of a news organization focus group are difficult people discontented with their lives who crave attention. They do skew to the right, so if they finally (jahzusmaryanchrisstalredy!!) DO start going for the Dem even begrudgingly as they seem to be, it’s a good sign.

And being dropped on it like a lardass bomb spraying ignorance, hate, racism and self-serving poison that upends the peace people need to just live their fckin lives, as if life isn’t hard enough, this c*nt needs to make it even harder.

Enough. Fucker begone…

Wow. That’s moving as hell. Love when the barest bones of a song are so good they can be performed with a single instrument and voice and still be fantastic!

It also doesn't hurt if the person performing it can capture the spirit and essence of it.

Fuckers…

Thanks for the heads up. A bunch of applications (Figma for example) are making the default for “AI training” (i.e., intellectual property theft) a passive opt-in.

Such presumptuous abuse of power and BS.

@WatchLover679

Yes, it was unclear yesterday, and also reported the ithium batteries inside the beepers were used as the ignitors/fuses.

@tgraph52

Yes, sadly he had to go back to Nigeria where he was also harassed, arrested, beaten by the corrupt government there at the time. But he kept making a lot of great music through all of it.

@PatrickKay

The Heritage Foundation seems very focussed on Springfield, OH since Aug 28th of this year it’d seem.

Some special and so cool hypnotic late 60s psychedelic jazz with a beat you can dance to. Great great great…

Did you take a hard look at your cell phone today and wonder if it could be hacked into exploding?
