Doing the whole “this is an unjustly persecuted black man” pro-black spin for the dude who said slavery was a choice, pressed up White Lives Matter and Nazi merch and made a Heil Hitler song is wild as hell folks are really fuckin crazy
Let me get this straight…
OpenAI 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…
Fuck this into hell immediately. This is a horrific concept that we do NOT wanting become common practice - in games or, even more dangerously, in the world at large entirely
Taxed them 87% less, they fired 30,000 workers, and grew their profits by 43.5%. Meanwhile, the deficit grew, wages continue to lag behind inflation, and our healthcare system is collapsing.
It's us or them.
So the scheme is Trump got to use the tariffs as leverage for a year, corporations get bailed out and refunded for costs they passed through to consumers by charging more, the American people pay the costs of the tariffs AND pay to bailout the corporations but don’t get anything in return.
The stumble is a warning - but not in the way Ross thinks. It’s a warning to everyone on the left - from the liberals in the center to the socialists on the far left: the rightwingers and their friends in the mainstream media will happily engage in smear campaigns and gotchas against Dems in way they never do against the GOP. That we are all talking about this AOC Taiwan answer and not the rest of her answers, or even the fact that the president is an imbecile and an ignoramus who couldn’t find Taiwan on a map of his life depended on it is what’s revealing and Dems need to be ready for this media climate come 2028
When this sermon went viral years ago, one of my CLOSEST, white evangelical friends told me, “Dewey, this sermon was pathetic!” After MUCH debate, we agreed to disagree! THIS morning, he sent me this clip & said, “Dewey, I was wrong, Dr. Jeremiah Wright was prophetic!”. I’m still chuckling! Please KNOW that you can both love AND criticize America simultaneously!
After all this is over, we need to pass a law that makes social media posts from official agency accounts like this subject to perjury. It is too destructive to the country to let them keep lying and lying and lying without any possible legal remedy.
a very notable part of the MAGA legacy is him bartering loyalty from prominent Black men for pardons
while sustaining the inequality which fosters the criminality that results in charges, ensuring more chances to barter
I’ve seen several people make this point, but it bears repeating: a staggering number of Americans are about to realize that the government had the capacity to help them all along simply chose not to, because those in power did not prioritize their lives or well-being.
A reminder that the only reason Martin Luther King Jr. Day exists is because of Coretta Scott King working day and night and petitioning the support of every Black celebrity she could in order to counteract white politicians trying to erase his name and legacy.
It’s how we got Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday” because he wrote it to garner support.
A cartoon about my father from the 1960s. At the time he was assassinated, a poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in the United States.
Today, his message has been distorted by many who would have hated him then, but evoke him now to deter justice and truth.
