The U.S. has spent $43.5 billion on the Iran war since February.
Making public college free for every American would cost $34.5 billion.
Free college means more skilled workers, higher wages, and less debt fucking over an entire generation.
The money exists, just not for us.
Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
I am always fascinated by people who place the burden of survival on everyday civilians, rather than the armed officers pulling up to their communities unannounced in unmarked vehicles and masks
“ugh you poors just want government handouts” yes. what the fuck? why wouldn’t we want that? we’re at a point in human history and advancement where we can give everyone handouts and help them live happy lives why the FUCK aren’t we doing that????
Fired Forest Service workers are warning that park visitors could get hurt after DOGE fired 3,400 of them.
These workers put their bodies between visitors and bears, perform evacuations, and provide first aid.
Now they've been fired, lost housing, and don't know what's next.
Elon is worth $378 billion. He was able to purchase the world’s most powerful country for just $300 million. Extreme wealth is a direct threat to democracy and freedom for all, and that’s painfully obvious. Nobody should be a billionaire. Tax every penny over $999 million at 100%
One of the most important ideas that Lynch was very adamant on was the ability for viewers to intuit and interpret his work. You already have all that you need to understand it.
The dumbest fucking thing about whenever one of these climate-induced natural disasters happens is every moron pretending that if you voted for someone else this could’ve been avoided.
NONE OF THEM WANT TO FIX THIS!!!
NONE OF THEM CARE!!!
AI software owned by a private equity firm costs U.S. renters an extra $3.6 billion per year, artificially driving up rents and increasing housing insecurity.
We criminalized homelessness when we should’ve criminalized price gouging housing instead.

Elon Musk is wrong.
The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire “the best and the brightest,” but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad.
The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.
stop calling it content. you're writing stories. making movies and videos. creating photos and art. it's not content. it's goddamn proof that we lived for a brief and wondrous moment and attempted to communicate with the world what's deep in our mind
Honestly deeply disgusted that all these wonderful spaces on the internet, where people share their creativity, their passion and their knowledge, is being taken, repackaged and sold by tech bros without anyone’s consent, to power models that flood the internet with mimicked slop
Here’s the deal: We stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential.
If AI can’t provide free housing, free healthcare and free basic necessities but just make it harder for us to earn enough to pay for any of those things that are getting more and more expensive then WHAT value does it bring to the table? Except for feeding into corporate greed
