They’re talking about healthcare and premium prices increasing and it sucks, but hear me out… @HoodHealer told us to start working on our immune systems for some time now & stock up on herbs and your “meds”…. So, I did. 🙏🏾 to this economy

i don't say things like this often, as i find them hyperbolic to the point of extreme dilution, so please believe me when I say that this is the most severe, graceful dissection of Elon Musk I've seen. Swift and effortlessly deep, like piano wire through tofu. Brutal
So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated , uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the “most wealthy person in the world.”

System awareness is not an ideology. It’s a literacy. Once you have it, you can’t unsee the feedback loops shaping everything... economy, psychology, ecology, politics. Suddenly the chaos has architecture.

An incredible thing has been happening on tiktok since this woman has been going viral. The amount of pastors who are crashing out over this series is truly something to behold. Its clear she must've called their churches and didnt know they were about to go viral. People are making spreadsheets, data points. She's literally first hand making churches become more active in their community because they are being shamed. Being exposed for what they really are. People who dont give a fuck about anyone or anything other than taking people's money and not paying taxes.
This woman is running her own social experiment. She's in the south calling various churches and asking if they could feed a starving baby. Here's a list of churches that said yes/no. The few that said yes include black churches, a Buddhist temple, and an Islamic center.

Using AI to help you on your homework is like using a robot to help you lift weights at the gym.

Protect yourself from people who are trying to be strategic with you, when all you are trying to do is be genuine with them.

The copyright for Roger Rabbit has been reverted back to its initial author, Gary K. Wolf. “I now have back the rights to all my characters, all my books. I can, basically, do my own Roger Rabbit projects.” (Source: imnotbad.com/2025/11/roger-r…)

“An entire generation has grown up thinking that extraction, as opposed to building, is the path to riches. That is a prospect at once uninspiring and, for most people, almost by definition, out of reach. To recover the sense of optimism and opportunity that once characterized American commerce, Americans need to be confident that—even if they don’t work for a platform—they can reap what they sow. Restoring market balance is the key: an economy with many centers of power, not just a few. We need to return to an older and truer vision of prosperity, one in which many companies in many industries and in many regions are important sources of wealth. That would give us a fairer and more dynamic economy—and give a new generation some hope.” –– Tim Wu, Big Tech’s Predatory Platform Model Doesn’t Have to Be Our Future, N.Y. Times (Oct. 25, 2025).

SO MANY rap icons from their era have fought uphill battles with getting their masters. It is sad man. They just want to control the art they made.

No way tech companies will recoup the $ hundreds of billions (plus a profit) they're spending on data centers, before those AI chips are rendered obsolete & worthless by the next chip generation. At my law firm, we're testing various AI products and the hype far exceeds the reality. They simply don't offer the value that would justify their significant prices. AI might replace parts of entry-level professional jobs but unless it improves substantially & very fast, the window for those companies to recoup their AI investments will narrow quickly. The math already seems unsustainable.

You cannot, by any means, call a country where people go bankrupt simply for getting sick the “greatest country in the world.”

Ive learned so much this year about the importance in having people around that actually LOVE you & not the idea of you. You’ll intuitively know the difference.

I hope all the people watching those videos of churches denying a mom a can of formula for a hungry baby keep that in mind when they tell a homeless person to just "reach out to a church and ask for help."

“Declaring all AI training ‘fair use’ would blow up that balance. It would amount to a government-granted blank check for Silicon Valley’s biggest players to strip-mine the creative economy.” @Pedigo_Chris @DCNorg
Replying to @jason_kint
Here is a link to the full piece from @Pedigo_Chris @DCNorg. Pedigo rightly notes Microsoft as one of the few major tech/AI players who aren't in Chamber of Progress and have stated very clearly they believe publishers should get paid for their IP. 2/2 digitalcontentnext.org/blog/…
