ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.

Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.

It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

"Part of the reason so many of these fools hate Stephen Colbert is that he lives his life as the faithful and humble Christian they constantly claim themselves to be but are too selfish and fearful to actually be."

The Inconvenient Faith of Stephen Colbert

The core of why Trump World hates him.

Democratic Party: We are spending $20M to figure out how to talk to male voters

Mamdani: Save your money. Endorse me. I have +45 favorability with male voters

Dem Party: We meant young male voters

Mamdani: I have +73 favorability with men under 45

Dem Party: We're not endorsing you dude. Go away. Now, why is our favorability is -54? Let's spend $20M on wealthy consultants to figure it out!

@amydiehl

Behind every great man is ... well, we're not sure. We'll let you know what's behind him just as soon as we find one.

If you haven’t been watching Colbert, you can’t imagine how focused and funny and unrelenting he has been in exposing Trump’s criminality, night after night. He has kept me sane. He has done the job the mainstream press has abdicated. He has spoken the truth.

No wonder the axe is falling.

Stephen Colbert says The Late Show will end after 33 years

Network CBS called it a financial decision tied to the "challenging backdrop in late night" TV.

Fuck CBS, Paramount, Ellison. This is no "financial decision." It is Trump taking over American media. This is Hungary. This is disgusting.

CBS to Cancel 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert' Citing Finances

CBS said it planned to cancel Stephen Colbert's Late Show after next season, citing the weakening finances of late night

We're all 1 awful twist of fate away from being George Retes: "Retes, who served in Iraq, said agents never told him why he was being detained @ the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown LA. He was packed off, w/o a phone call, access to a lawyer, or even a way to clean the pepper-spray residue off his clothes & face, he said. While in custody he became so distressed that he was put on suicide watch, but he was still not allowed to contact an attorney."

Ah ... pigs are intelligent animals capable of compassion and caring relationships.

Trump is unnaturally evil and disgusting and no part of the natural word deserves being compared to him.

Really I teach dog owners. A vast majority of my work is teaching them empathy, and helping them understand why their dog is acting out.

Am I am empathist? There's another silly word that really shouldn't sound
silly.

What am I then?

Well, I'm a human being. It seems what the world needs right now is more human beings making more human connections.

But it still leaves me at a loss for my job title.

3/3

We focus less on the outward behavior and more on addressing the root cause (e.g., fear, stress, lack of emotional regulation). When we focus on motivation and emotion, the behavior tends to sort itself out.

So perhaps I'm not a behaviorist, but what's a better term? Motivationist? Am I a motivational speaker for dogs?

Or emotionist? That's pretty accurate, but it sounds silly. Why should this term seem odd? This is what we focus on and what we treat: behavior is just a symptom.

Captain! The Furungi have taken over the ship!
@georgetakei #ALT4you a screenshot of a social media post from an account named Retro Toys and Cartoons, featuring an image of a mushroom in a forest in the shape of the Starship Enterprise, and the text "Space: The Fungal Frontier".
@georgetakei - I bet there’s not mush room inside….
@georgetakei
It should look like Discovery, shouldn't it?
@georgetakei This is all getting a bit too meta for my brain...
@georgetakei so that's what the Spore Drive was all about

@georgetakei

These are the mycelium of the sporeship, Mushie Fries. It's sponge-tinuing mission, to re-spore strange new worlds. To seek out new dark places and new portobellations. To boldly grow, where no 'shroom has bloomed before.
Cap'n's Mossy Log

@georgetakei imagine any time space. The spore has been there
@georgetakei You can do lots of things with DALL·E

@georgetakei Star Trek: Discovery manifested.
@georgetakei Live long and hallucinate. 🖖
@georgetakei first sighting of the Discovery....
@georgetakei You're a damned treasure, George. Don't ever change.
@georgetakei Well that hardly hurt at all.
@georgetakei I thought Discovery was the only ship with a spore drive!? Clearly not.
@georgetakei Very special. Nature is wonderful. If only we took more care of her.
@georgetakei Don't eat the Starcap mushrooms!
@georgetakei Unfortunately, that looks AI generated. But somewhat cool anyway.
