So don’t vote for Biden and let Trump win? That’s some deep thinking. You should write a book on foreign policy.
Um. Unless you’re using cash, when you use a credit or debit card to pay for stuff...they have all the information on you they need. Your cell phone is just another credit card and we’re all being tracked to market to us. Tempest... meet teapot.
It’s funny how nobody talks about how the Covid UBI saved the economy. I can’t think of a better large scale proof of concept.
I’m thinking “Rapeublican” is more fitting since they fully embrace a rapist as their leader.
What’s so frustrating about this is that it’s not difficult for a reporter to do this. The fear of being direct in our media is such a liability for our democracy. It’s like they all fear politicians will accuse them of being impolite and even, heaven forbid, LIBERAL 😱

Genocide Joe. That’s creative. Did you come up with that?
Here are the nominees that were selected before Margo Robbie:
Annette Bening (Nyad)
Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon)
Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall)
Carey Mulligan (Maestro)
Emma Stone (Poor Things)
All worthy performances. Sorry Margo, you just didn’t measure up. You win some and you lose some. There seems to be an “entitlement” thing going on here me thinks.
Late night thoughts.🤔“Washington himself rode at the head of an army to suppress the insurgency, with 13,000 militiamen provided by the governors of Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The rebels all went home before the arrival of the army, and there was no confrontation.”

Um...let’s see...I’ll take “what happened to CRT” for $200 Bob.
I hope they bring snacks and blankets. It can get cold out there.
In the 90s I had an amazing piano teacher, who was black, and he stressed the incredible importance of learning and drilling Bach (white European) because gospel and jazz were very much influenced by church music and, specifically Bach. I never thought of this in terms of “appropriation”. I just thought it was how music and musicians have operated forever. That said, “intellectual property theft” is real and unjust, but “cultural appropriation” seems like a BS term to me.

I’m not sure I’m “fighting” anything. I just don’t really by the hypothesis. My open mind keeps me fully open to the extraordinary evidence required to support such a hypothesis.
I’ll chip in five bucks to get on this MF’n list.
I think this young man will be president one day.
Results are out for the guaranteed basic income pilot in Austin where 135 people got $1,000/mo for a year.
9% of people reported working less and 7% reported working more. Of those who worked less, half upskilled for better future jobs, and half chose unpaid care work.
Housing security significantly increased, as did food security. People lived in better housing and ate more balanced meals.
People also felt significantly more connected to the people and places in their neighborhoods.
Jiu-jitsu liberal. Couldn't drink well enough to be a writer or a lawyer. Became a stoned philosopher instead. Sometimes pay the bills.
