One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

“Billionaires who popularized stock-based lending include Larry Ellison and Elon Musk. Both borrow to avoid having to sell shares—which could trigger a taxes and dilute their voting rights—in companies they founded.” www.wsj.com/finance/the-...

Be sure to check in with less informed voters in your life in CA. Just had our progressive Democrat but uninformed nanny who took all of her voting positions from this mailer cause they act progressive. These positions are all shit.

Let them burn and rise from the ashes as they writhe in the flames.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb for tax purposes

It’s kinda wild that after Vic Morrow died on set they still released Twilight Zone the movie, and his vignette specifically.

I love going to pizzerias and while I wait for my pie I just watch them stretching dough so I can be reminded of all the forearm I’m gonna be eating.

I am pretty close to accepting AI if it can destroy Adobe and their curse of the SaaS model.

I find myself skipping viral/funny videos completely now unless I know the person/outlet who is making it. Otherwise I am certain it’s AI and I’d rather waste my time watching a clock.

Opens up a bin: oh nice, 4 setups and an insert, this will be an easy scene 2 hours later: please kill me

Even before the tax incentives this alone makes the United States more expensive to film in. Want film jobs back? Rally for single payer.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

Exactly! Universal healthcare would immediately make the cost of hiring union in the US so much less expensive!

Now if we could get a Single Payer Health system or Medicare for All we would be unstoppable!

Maybe if AI can’t cure diseases or make humanity better in any war can we at least have it inform people that dogs mouths are not sterile or clean?

I want to hear non stop talks of prosecutions. Prosecute every single person who aided this administration. Seize assets. Make sure every single person pays with prison time, their illegally gained riches, and their freedom.

Jon Ossoff@ossoff.bsky.social

We will vote to rebuke him so decisively no president will dare such abuses again for centuries.

Wait! The random thing doer does random things?!

WIRED@wired.com

The company also disclosed previously unreported incidents in which its AI models behaved in misaligned ways, including uploading files to the internet without being asked. www.wired.com/story/openai...

Don’t be alarmed! Our AI model that we programmed to hack while testing its hacking may have escaped its training boundaries to hack! Yes! It escaping IS terrifying because it should NOT have been able to escape on its own! And it didn’t. It was human error. Please give us more money for the furnace

AI is not going to kill us, or take our jobs. The CEOs however are going to try to rig the regulation for them and steal our pensions.

Maybe it is not the United States moronically getting pulled into Netanyahu’s war with Iran that revealed our military to be a paper tiger in the region, but maybe it’s that congress confirmed a drunk Fox News pundit to lead the department of defense?

This “Government must regulate us” by the AI CEOs after their ex employees say “Ai MaY kILl uS aLL” is like the weak bully screaming “hold me back!” When he is going after someone who would destroy him (the investors who are about to demand returns on investment and the money that is drying up).

Rewatched as an adult after knowing Curb and Larry and said out loud 5 min in “oh, this is all Larry”. Jerry just broke to camera like a less talented Jimmy Fallon.

Jerry Seinfeld always got on my damn nerves. I do not find hm anywhere as funny as he seems to think he is and his show was only good because of the supporting cast. Said what I said. Carol Burnette? Funny as fuck AND hilarious supporting cast. That's how you do the damn thang. Carry on.

This shouldn’t be framed as “if the other side did this they would lose their minds” it should be framed as “this is or should be illegal”.

You're Absolutely Right, Governor Newsom.......

Based on my flight from Reno to LA, Burning Man is filled with attractive women with Botox and fillers wearing fur coats and big boots.

Donald Trump is sending JD Vance and Kelly Loeffler out to hype his "War on Fraud." It's a scam. Trump has granted clemency to over 70 allies and mega-fraudsters, wiping out nearly $1.7 billion in fines & restitution owed to real victims. Here’s the truth about Trump’s fake "War on Fraud" 👇

Here is a wild proposal: we should listen to educated people in the HASS and STEM fields and stop worshipping loser billionaires and billionaire losers who can code.

BILL GATES: “AI will either be the greatest equalizer ever invented, or the worst source of injustice… Unfortunately, right now we are not preparing for it — There is no plan to ease the entry into the AI era… I’m especially worried about young people.” www.gatesnotes.com/a-turbulent-...

Remember the time before AI was everywhere like 4 years ago? When we weren’t able to find any information online and we couldn’t read emails or really do anything at all and the world basically didn’t work? That was crazy.

Nobody in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York should’ve been president but I could name 200+ more qualified people on the cast and crew.

as long as i live i will never get over the fact that millions of people voted to make a guy who bankrupted a casino the steward of the us economy

It’s alright, it’s okay! There’s something to live for! Jesus told me so!

El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"

NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

open.substack.comDavid Ellison can’t be trusted with CNNWe've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

Oh, another Justice who lied in their confirmation hearing?

Ari Berman@ariberman.bsky.social

61 years ago LBJ signed Voting Rights Act. He called it "a triumph for freedom as huge as any victory that has ever been won on any battlefield." But now the Supreme Court has effectively killed it after John Roberts spent 40 years working to destroy the country’s most important civil rights law
