Funkadelic - Can You Get to That

Maggot Brain is perhaps better known for the two monumental pieces that bookend it, but for me, the filling is the more rewarding part of the sandwich. Like this.

Q: Have you spoken to Sen. McConnell about this effort?

MASSIE: I have not, but if it were possible to have a conversation with McConnell ...

There's a reason why The Onion published this more than three years ago.

A vote for Trump is a vote for pedophiles.

Calling strikes on a country that didn’t attack you—in a war you illegally started—“defensive” is pure Orwellian doublespeak.

Repeating this language is propaganda, not journalism.

A SCTV Halloween special in the 1980s

“Stephen Miller, on behalf of Star Trek, and everyone who knew and loved him, keep my Captain's name out of your fucking Nazi mouth. He despised you, and everything you stand for.”

"I don't understand why they're pushing AI so hard when we can all see it's making everything worse."

That's because it's not being marketed to you; it's being marketed to governments and plutocrats. They're the real target audience for these products, not you.

You are not receiving the real sales pitch for AI, because the real sales pitch would not appeal to your sensibilities. The real sales pitch for AI isn't "Hey check out this product, it makes some web searches slightly easier and it can maybe write your emails for you." The real sales pitch for AI is "This product allows you to surveil the entire population of your country. It can be built into autonomous surveillance drones and killing machines. It can allow you to monitor and control every aspect of your society. It can reverse the decentralization of information brought on by the internet age. It can take away the collective bargaining power of workers and give you the skilled services your company requires. It can nullify strikes, civil disobedience, and even full-scale revolutions, and lock humanity into your capitalist dystopia forever."

That's the real sales pitch. It doesn't sound appealing to any normal person, but it makes sense when you remember who these technologies are really being sold to, and why.

I would like an update to civil law where anyone who makes money posting video of strangers on the internet can be sued by that stranger for every dime they made monetizing on that content (plus pain and suffering)

So they finally caught up to Jared. Let’s hope they do something about it.

UPDATE:
U.S. special envoy Jared Kushner is denying allegations in an upcoming book by journalist Matthew Cole that he received more than $2 billion in slush funds from Middle East leaders.🚨

Use your contempt for your abusers & bullies to fuel your trauma recovery. No shame. Use their stupidity, their cruelty, their grossness, to scaffold a life you're creating that is the complete opposite of everything they are, everything they stood for.

Use them. Show them.

Jerry Seinfeld said the quiet part out loud in Chicago:

“I’m racist, it’s a genocide, I’m into it.”

Heckled over Gaza, he mocked the accusations, danced on stage, and offered to send the protester’s ticket money to Israel
