More likely they will plagiarize the blueprint for someone else’s starship.

Everything Silicon Valley touches turns to gold for them and shit for everyone else. They extract wealth and replace it with ash.

It’s the saddest irony

You’ll need to utilize some higher dimensions

If fossil fuel was an ice cream flavor, it would be blood and soot.

A truly shameful performance. The ghost of Judy Garland would have made a more effective Attorney General.

It rhymes with fannon codder.

WE KNOOOOWWWW. It’s the worst-kept secret in politics. People in other countries are aware. The birds are aware. It’s part and parcel of the experience of fascism. Never underestimate what pure evil is capable of doing.

Jeez, I can’t imagine the government ever coming to regret this decision.

It’s like the B Minor Mass in that way.

Good. It’s a crime family, not a real government. And they produced 9/11. Fuck them.

Fuck you John Roberts and your Citizens United violence against the citizens.

No we are not. 36, broke, lonely, and hopeless. Cant get a better paycheck without better education, cant get a date without a better paycheck, just getting older. Not a lot of reason to live, frankly. I feel useless. Im afraid it’ll kill me.

The Trumpist members of my family are proud to be recalcitrant about it all. It’s at least three parts: first there’s the gulf between us, and then the knowledge of the breadth of it, and lastly the pride of standing so far away from everyone. It’s not just that they’re way past the orbit of Pluto. It’s also the fact that they’re so proud to be so far out.

A civilization that uses these weapons isn’t worth defending.

If businesses cant tell the difference between employees and slaves, then we all have a major fucking problem.

The tail is wagging the dog. Not a good position for US to be in. Makes us look weak. This is not how friends treat each other.

Sounds like real live, actual fascism.

Reminds me of Martin Wolf.

MAGA is eating out the new College of Florida from inside, just as the larva of the spider wasp eats out the host in which it has been laid.

It also applies to the GOP. Hopefully it doesn’t apply to the whole USA.

Corporate-funded obsequious lackeys are de-civilizing our society. They’re forcing us into survival mode so we’re unable to marshal any kind of response to their tyranny.

For those of you who think AI and related technologies will be a force for good, you might refresh your understanding of the millennia of slavery that preceded our short-lived liberal era. My personal fear is that the ruling class will use technology to enslave us again.

Look how they’re behaving already, in the cold light of day, in a time when we have HD video and instant communication. In the face of super-powerful tech, we’re doomed. Even this comment I’m writing now will be scooped up by machines and used against me in the future in ways I can scarcely imagine now.

I know it’s a stretch, but the fact of dehumanizing our pregnant mothers, newborn babies, and hopeful fathers cannot be separated from the ancient propensity of the ruling class to enslave.
