Concern yourselves more with the needs of others, with the needs of all humanity, and you'll have peace of mind. Selfishness creates a distance between us and other people, leading to suspicion and mistrust, ultimately resulting in loneliness. Think of others' well-being and you’ll be happy.

STOP FLOCK. STOP AI MASS SURVEILLANCE.

Totalitarianism is when a government or another entity with overwhelming power seeks to know, control and influence everything you do, say and even think. I fear very much that if we don't act aggressively, that is where we’re heading.

You may not know it, but you may already be being tracked by artificial intelligence.

Flock, a surveillance company backed by Big Tech oligarchs like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, has installed more than 120,000 AI-powered surveillance cameras across America.

These AI cameras scan and record 20 BILLION vehicles every month across more than 6,000 communities.

What does that mean for you? It means that if Flock is in your community, every time you leave your house, a Flock camera records and tracks you.

If you are dropping your kids off at school, Flock knows.

If you are going to a doctor, Flock knows.

If you are going out on a date, Flock knows.

And that’s not all.

Newer Flock cameras do not just record vehicles. They record people. Flock’s AI system can combine images of you and your vehicle with databases of phone numbers, relatives and court records to find out who you are, where you're going and why.

In my view, this raises some very fundamental questions. Do we want to live in an America where AI companies like Flock can work with the government to track our every movement? Do we want to live in an America where our privacy rights and civil liberties — enshrined in the Constitution — are traded away so that AI oligarchs can collect more information, and increase their profits even more?

The answer must be NO. We cannot allow America to become a surveillance state where a handful of AI oligarchs profit by giving the government the power to track our every movement.

We must come together to stop Flock and AI mass surveillance. That is why I will soon be introducing legislation to do just that.

The disgraced former mayor of New York, Rudy (I was just tucking in my shirt) Giuliani, has threatened to sue me for defamation over an interview in which I never said his name. No one even mentioned him.

I want to apologize to Rudy. Going forward I will be certain to say his name directly.

Rudy, you worked with known Russian agents and their proxies to spread lies about me and my father. Their names are Andrii Derkach, Konstantin Kulyk, Andriy Telizhenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky and more. Kulyk handed you a dossier filled with disinformation. You flew to Kyiv in December 2019 to sit down with Derkach, then went on television with him to sell his bullshit tapes.

Trump’s own national security adviser warned the White House that what you brought back was Russian disinformation. You kept going.

Then Trump’s own Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, sanctioned Derkach in September 2020 as an active Russian agent for over a decade, for spreading the same lies you are still spitting. Four months later, on his way out the door, Mnuchin sanctioned the rest of your sources. Kulyk. Telizhenko. Dubinsky. Eleven people and four media front companies in all. Not sanctioned by me. Not by my father. By Donald Trump’s Treasury Department.

And remember Vienna Rudy. In October 2019 you, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman had tickets to fly there to collect a hard drive, courtesy of Dmytro Firtash, an indicted oligarch who has spent a decade in Vienna fighting extradition to the United States. Lev and Igor were arrested at Dulles holding one-way tickets. You canceled yours the next morning. That was way before a computer repairman in Wilmington was ever a twinkle in your eye.

So please, @RudyGiuliani. Please, please sue me. Discovery will be a joy for everyone.

[Jason Luongo @JasonL_Capital]

Peter Lynch averaged 29% a year for 13 straight years. He did it with one favorite metric: the PEG ratio.

PEG = P/E divided by growth. Under 1 means the growth is on sale.

Here are 10 stocks under 1 right now:

1. $SOFI ~0.9x

Record $1.2 billion in quarterly revenue, record member growth, profitable, and guidance just raised. The PEG is under 1 because the market still prices it like a niche lender instead of the bank an entire generation is switching to. That mispricing is the opportunity.

TIME’s new cover: Dolly Parton, the beloved country-music superstar, died in Nashville at 80.

Known for writing about the lives of working-class people in more than 3,000 recorded songs and later giving away nearly 300 million books to children around the world, Parton’s life was a true Cinderella story. https://t.co/9hT8kjv3S0

Equities and income don't usually run on the same signal, but they’re about to.📡

$VOOY is designed to carry both. The XFUNDS Large Cap Income ETF pairs large-cap U.S. equities with a flexible, actively managed options strategy that adapts to market conditions rather than relying on one fixed approach.

It’s almost time to VOOY and chill: launch is now September 2, shifted one day from the original date.

Simply put, Dolly Parton was an American original. She was an inspiration to millions. She was a relentless advocate for women and for equality. Through her Imagination Library, she placed the gift of reading into the hands of millions of children because she understood literacy is the foundation of opportunity.

But perhaps most importantly, Dolly treated everyone with kindness and respect. She lived her values with a flair and vitality for life that was uniquely her own. She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word, and she will be missed by millions around the world.

Jill and I are keeping her family, her friends, and her millions of fans in our prayers.

God bless Dolly Parton.

We are thinking of our friends across the U.S. as communities continue to navigate the impacts of recent severe weather and extended power outages.❤️

Whether it lasts for hours or days, a power outage (blackout) can be challenging for the whole family. Explore the Let’s Get Ready: Power Safety guide for tips on how to keep children safe around electricity and what to do during a power outage: https://t.co/h3RpZoz0Hk #HereForEachOther

Chapter 13 of Project 2025 was literally about creating food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production. Just in-case anyone was interested in what the future holds if we allow Republicans to remain in charge…!

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Hello @Disney @Pixar I'm confused by this branding. This makes me firmly believe that Disney Pixar branding and franchising is officially MAGA affiliated! This image has made me unlikely to purchase one of your products ever again.
