A man on a plane told me he was “writing a book” with AI. I asked him if when he finished said book and everyone summarized it with AI, will that have been reading it? I hope that buried into his psyche and destroys any chance of future progress “not writing”.
Some better apology suggestions (besides just implementing DEI again)
*start selling “say no to fascism” merch front and center
*pressure legislators to impeach the president
*pressure Congress to take back control of tariffs (although this one is also in your own best interests)
Target CEO Brian Cornell will meet with the Rev. Al Sharpton as the company contends with a slump in foot traffic after walking back some DEI initiatives.
I realize I’m probably late to this party but I just finished “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler and looked up “Parable of the Talents” and it is fucking creepy this was written in 1998…

America yelling about a trade deficit with other countries while unemployment *was* historically low and our wealth is the highest in the world is like the rich kid at the table yelling that he didn’t get ice cream with his cake while other children are sitting there with empty plates.
I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.
NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!”
@USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?”
NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY*
(not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)
Everybody saying “it’s alright, I have Google” remember they removed “don’t be evil” from their company mission.
Also usually when one company does this, others follow.
So, has anyone written a novel about a resistance led by park rangers?
For some reason, I’m currently subsisting on dystopian fiction and non-fiction (current novel is about a WWII spy so I suppose you could call that “dystopian non-fiction”).

Sat next to someone at brunch obsessing over getting the Disney candles line from Bath & Body Works. Like seriously?
Disney adults annoy the shit outta me.

Some staffers at Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing robust taxpayer-funded salaries of over six figures—sometimes from the very federal agencies they are slashing and burning.

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!
We're going to lose Canada and Mexico and Europe very, very soon if Trump and Vance aren't careful after this Zelensky disaster. I don't expect they will be careful. We're about to be on a geopolitical island in the middle of North America.

I chose to shop at Target, despite driving by at least 3 Walmarts to get there and paying more for some goods. Their identity as the progressive department store is all they had. And now that’s gone.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
This letter is a work of art.
“He’s so completely absorbed in an unwinnable war with his own insecurities that he has unwittingly become the Persian cat to Musk’s Blofeld…so preoccupied with revenge that his pussy has been grabbed by the Stay-Puft billionaire.”
Ideally we would NOT let our country be destroyed. But if we do have to watch everything burn, I guess I’ll have to settle for groups of people that overwhelmingly supported him “finding out.”
