About the recent visit of King Charles to the United States: "On his last state visit, Charles was in the shade of Diana’s radiance. On this one, he radiated an élan of his own — a class act, shining next to the boorish Trump":

I see the #ChecksAndBalances of the #USian system are continuing to function as per the purpose of the system.

A #President is an elected #Emperor. Time to grow up, put away your childish things; the sad, obvious King Thirst, and get a proper Westminster-derived parliament.

With the growth of AI in the workplace, unions become even more important than they already were. We need tech workers to revolt and setup unions. Its the only way we put these AI tech bros in check. #unionstrong #checksandbalances #tech

I have not thought of this before, but it makes sense. Out of all the things we expect our government to do with our taxpayer's money (of which there are so many that are silly), why should we be complicit in financing conduct that is patently unconstitutional? This sounds like a good means of checking the government.

Tax Day was yesterday, but there is always another year, and another year.
