"Alec Baldwin, Amy Schumer, Rosie O’Donnell, Sean Penn and Others Will Boycott Georgia If It Bans Abortion"

Their absence would make Georgia more appealing.

(I know, it's more about these wealthy - in this case white - capitalists on the left bullying with their wealth to ensure minorities and the poor are still targeted for the elimination of their children.)

"AI can predict when someone will die with unsettling accuracy"

What effect will this have on life insurance, health insurance and employability?

It's easy to conclude media bias with so many reports that the Green New Deal just "didn't get enough votes in the senate".

As if it was close.

It got zero. Zero.

When the vote on the resolution was called, it failed to pass by a vote of 0 to 57 with all Republican and four Democratic senators voting no.

"No senator voted to begin debate on the legislation...

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, called the Green New Deal "ridiculous" and displayed pictures of dinosaurs, cartoon characters and babies on the Senate floor. He said he was treating the plan "with the seriousness it deserves.""

😂😂

"Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said Democrats were being hypocritical by refusing to vote for their own plan. "I've never seen a bill sponsored by a dozen people who don't want to vote on it," he said."

the fediverse reminds me a lot of how things used to be in the '90s a.k.a. the golden age of computing

back when we all had our own dorky fuckin websites on tripod or angelfire or geocities, all unique, all human

back before the internet was taken over by soulless monolithic corporations bent on forcing spy cameras into their users' every orifice

back before advertisers had built themselves a surveillance empire to dwarf the NSA's

back when we were all genuine and sincere and *ourselves.* even if we were total fuckin dorks

all of a sudden these little grassroots social spaces are popping up, with unique and quirky domains, full of people who aren't such cowards that they spend their lives hiding behind a curtain of ironic detachment. it's like the experimental chaos of the '90s but tempered by experience and improved by new technology

there's a reason IRC and pleroma are the only ways i actually *like* interacting with ppl online

I think I expected something from the Mueller report, that Jr or another name we know was actively working with Russians but that POTUS was not personally involved. I expected a lot of allusion to collusion that couldn't be proven in order to justify the counsel, and maybe we'll get that as the redacted report is published later.

I'm relieved to hear that the campaign wasn't (at least to the knowledge of the 2 year investigation) engaged in conspiracy with the Russians in their email phishing that is called "hacking of the election."

A few things I'll wonder about tomorrow :

1. Well anyone change their mind about Trump because of this?
2. Did the Russians win by the constant push by the dems or main (left) media (though I repeat myself), to distrust the election process?
3. Does this justify any of Trump's Fake News and Enemy of the People talk about the media who communicated as if their conspiracy theory about Trump /Russia was proven and concluded?
4. Will this change anyone's perception of the press?
5. Are here a lot of people out there truly disappointed that there is not conclusion of collision, that wish, really wish that Trump had engaged in this conspiracy to fit their narrative?
6. Could there really be stuff that this investigation missed that the other investigations from the far left will uncover?

My sad initial guess is that most are too locked within their echo chambers for anything to change their perspective, and nothing will change much.

But it's getting late and there's tea and backgammon beckoning. No more thinking about politics tonight.
