"I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element, I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
- Eugene V. Debs

"King" Charles is a bitch, & he & his whole family should fucking disappear & never bother any of the rest of us ever again (I'm being so generous! No sharp blades have been threatened).

But still... The Land of the Free? Nah, the US is The Land of the Wealthy, just like fucking everywhere.

And don't get me wrong: I'm glad I don't live in a country where some assholes still try to claim the respect of their "inferiors" because they are "royal" or "noble". It's literally obscene to me that that is still a thing people do.

That the House of Lords exists at all is an abomination.

But materially, the situation for the rest of us is very similar whether it's a Lord or a banker enriching themselves off of us.

Understanding that the US "Founding Fathers" were pretty much all wealthy merchants, bankers, & slave-owners really clarified some shit for me about this country.

The US is what happens when the merchant/landlord/slaver class says "no kings for us! *We* are the kings now!"

“Waymo spokesperson Julia Ilina told SFGate the company has avoided direct pickups and drop-offs on Market Street because the designated areas would require vehicles to double park, potentially blocking transit. “Unlike human drivers, we make significant efforts to park appropriately during pick up and drop off,” Ilina said.”

There has never been a more blatant lie. I see Waymos double park *all the fucking time*. They especially love to double park while also blocking bike lanes. In fact, I would go so far as to say, I’ve *rarely* ever seen a Waymo loading or unloading while not double parked.

The GUARD Act Isn’t Targeting Dangerous AI—It’s Blocking Everyday Internet Use

Lawmakers in Congress are moving quickly on the GUARD Act, an age-gating bill restricting minors’ access to a wide range of online tools, with a key vote expected this week. The proposal is framed as a response to alarming cases involving “AI companions” and vulnerable young users. But the text of...

They hate the specter of Drug Addicts so badly that they just make millions of people mildly unhappy every single day to prevent people from crushing up their … trazodone. And modafinil. (Those being the two meds i'm personally complaing about here.)
