  1. Technology and science

    Given how technology is used to influence our perceptions, and given the different versions of reality our politicians and media put out. Both the simulation and Many-Worlds theories begin to look like real possibilities.

  2. After the controversial cancellation of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert won the Emmy for a variety show for the show’s final season. Colbert thanked “the over 200 people” who worked on the show over a decade – and used his speech to spruik their talents. “Hire them,” he told the room. “They will make your day better and your lives easier.”

  3. CW: Randomly-generated conspiracy theory

    Big Pharma and Qanon have been in a secret war with each other since 1492. Big Pharma wants to expose the truth that the world will end when King Charles III dies and Qanon will do whatever they can to stop them . I know because I had a dream ,, and Big Pharma is always untrustworthy. #freespeech

  4. Technology and AI

    Given the lack of intelligent thinking in high places, it is possible AI is already in control, creating an illusion that people are making the decisions, and in control.

    Maybe we need to include properly qualified experts, in a range of fields, in government decision making. That is, the Cabinet needs an infusion of talent.

    House Democrat forces #Trump #impeachment vote over #ICE

    by Cami Mondeaux, September 14, 2026

    Excerpt: "The House could consider an #ArticleOfImpeachment targeting President #DonaldTrump this week, accusing the president of abusing his executive power after the killings of #USCitizens at the hands of federal immigration officers earlier this year.

    "Democratic Rep. #AlGreen of Texas on Monday introduced a privileged resolution accusing Trump of #HighCrimesAndMisdemeanors, using a procedural tool forcing #HouseGOP leaders to schedule a vote on the article of impeachment within two legislative days. It’s not yet clear when that vote could be scheduled, and GOP leaders could seek to table the motion or refer it to a committee of jurisdiction, essentially killing the motion without a formal vote.

    " 'The President is reducing American democracy to an #AuthoritarianRegime,' Green said in a floor speech on Monday. 'President Trump, using the powers of his high office, individually and in coordination with officers in his administration, has transformed ICE and #CBP into dangerous, unaccountable #paramilitary police forces that operate without oversight and pose a direct threat to the #constitutional order of the United States and the people of the United States. By such abuses of power, President Trump is brazenly and wantonly devolving the United States democratic republic into an authoritarian regime.'

    "Green listed four crimes he believes Trump is guilty of after activating #BorderPatrol agents and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during #OperationMetroSurge, a mission designed to apprehend undocumented immigrants and deport them.

    "The Texas Democrat accused Trump of enabling ICE and Border Patrol to carry out 'unjustified killings'; allowing agents to 'operate with anonymity,' referring to face masks worn by officers; undermining the #FirstAmendment and #FreeSpeech; and skirting judicial oversight.

    "Green specifically cited the deaths of four U.S. citizens who were killed by immigration officers during that operation, including #AlexPretti and #ReneeGood, who were killed in separate instances in Minneapolis after altercations with officers."

  7. I'm sure canning Macklemore in the loudest and most public way is going to work wonders for people's attitudes towards Israel. Yes, these are very smart lads /s

  8. this is why we don't have a whole new generation of RATMs, Chumbawunbas or Public Enemy:

    the fascists who control media and performance venues get to control who gets recorded, distributed & shown.

    ❝ Macklemore also accused Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts, of threatening to pull Sheeran’s concert if the rapper was not removed as a support act. Kraft rallied the owners of the other tour venues to follow suit…❞

  10. "James Talarico, the Democratic candidate running for senator in Texas, has spoken out after ABC pulled his sit-down with Jimmy Kimmel over FCC concerns." Talarico said: "Government censorship should be a concern to all of us, regardless of our political party. The FCC’s threats against certain broadcast programs (including ABC’s #TheView) are the most dangerous form of cancel culture”:

    We went from Tony the phony, to the more trendy version, Anthony the show pony.

    In the mean time the lies and corruption continue morph into business as usual.
