Sometimes I write. Sometimes I dabble in stock/real estate. None of these have anything to do with each other. ;)

The SEC must delay the SpaceX IPO until investors are protected.

Tech execs warn AI could concentrate wealth so much it breaks society.

But AI didn’t build itself. It was trained on our ideas, funded by our tax dollars, & powered by shared resources.

If Big Tech makes billions from what we helped create, the American people deserve a share.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This week, my amendment to ban billionaire-funded super PACs received unanimous support from my Democratic colleagues.

The momentum is growing. It’s time to repeal Citizens United, ban super PACs and move to the public funding of elections NOW.

Last month we rescued this angel on Skid Row from a known animal abuser who was doing surgery on dogs in his tent. Today that angel is now adopted!!!!

At just 13 years old, Alena Analeigh McQuarter made history as the youngest Black student ever accepted into a U.S. medical school.
Now 17, this brilliant young queen has already graduated high school at 12, earned a Master’s degree, interned at NASA, founded The Brown STEM Girl to inspire other girls of color, and continues blazing trails in medicine and science.
Her journey is living proof that when purpose, discipline, and brilliance collide, nothing can hold you back not even age.
The future is in incredible hands! 👏🏽

First he took on Kelloggs, now he's taking on Bayer. A strong member of the #FoodBabeArmy !!!! Thank you @KenPaxtonTX

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

The Barack and Michelle Obama statue at the new Barack Obama Presidential Center opening soon.

California is not for everyone.

It's expensive.

The taxes are absurd.

But then you wake up in Santa Monica, drive up the PCH, ski in the mountains, have lunch outside in January, and watch the sunset over the Pacific.

You can't get that anywhere else.

The movement to save beagles from torture at Marshall Farms has become a rallying cry heard around the world. From across America and across the globe, people are speaking out with one voice: end the cruelty, save these animals, and choose compassion over suffering.

[Stand Up For Pits Foundation, Inc @SUFPFoundation]

This poor dog is so deeply traumatized. He is now at our vet and is terrified. He has to be sedated and tomorrow he will get an exam. This shit is PREVENTABLE but garbage "leaders" like @MayorOfLA and all the others allow this to happen daily. The people of LA should be outraged.

[Martina Navratilova @Martina]

Well done!!!

[JoeyTuccio @joey_tuccio]

We rescued this sweet dog today from Skid Row.

My heart breaks for the dogs left behind. I saw another puppy suffering in a cage while I was leaving. The puppy watched my drive away. It broke my heart knowing that I might have been that puppy’s only chance at that exact moment.

[JoeyTuccio @joey_tuccio]

Another abandoned puppy being passed around by severe drug addicts on Skid Row. Our rescue can not possibly keep taking every dog. Please share this so we can find other rescues to help take in these dogs.

Only after @elonmusk lives on Mars the first 5 years

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Mostly true. What matters is securing the long-term future of consciousness, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies.

We cannot just focus on Earth, because there are irreducible external (eg massive meteor) and internal (eg global nuclear war) cataclysmic risks.

The Moon is faster to make self-growing, but is more susceptible to problems on Earth. Mars will take longer to make self-growing, because it is so hard to reach, but is more secure from Earth disasters for that same reason.

Both the Moon and Mars should have self-growing civilizations. Making this happen is the prime directive of SpaceX.

[JoeyTuccio @joey_tuccio]

Another abandoned dog on Skid Row right now. This one is a puppy. Please share or DM me or comment or tell Karen Bass to do her fucking job.

RFK Jr. on child vaccines:

"In 1986, there were 11 vaccines on the schedule. Today, a compliant child must take between 69 and 92 vaccines to stay in school in some states."

"Not one of them has been safety tested in a pre-licensing placebo-controlled trial."
