Not just refusing to remove disinformation, but also actively removing the accounts of Lula supporters and for a brief time Lula’s official campaign account.
All because Zuck specifically hired Joel Kaplan in 2009 to “engender closer ties to conservatives”. Joel Kaplan, who as a Bush Lawyer, participated in the Brooks Brothers riot of 2000, which stopped the recount in Florida, and then was rewarded with a Bush Whitehouse position.
And tanking the entire economy is the process.
Also, Larry Ellison (who can fuck right off) has leaned on his Oracle stock to fiance the buyout of all the media companies he’s gobbling up to build yet another right wing propaganda ecosystem.
they wouldn’t sign such stupid deals for no reason.
Greed. The reason was greed. They bought into the hype and thought they could print money.
And all the tech companies are doing it, Oracle was just the sick man of the bunch, and will be the first to fall, dragging the rest down with them.
All because they’re offloading trillions in debt to special purpose vehicles, the same thing that tanked Enron, the difference is that Enron, with $400 million in debt, was lying about it, and the current tech companies doing the exact same shit, are disclosing the debt legally, but still hiding it in the fine print of their disclosures.
The debt will still crash the economy, but at least it’s out in the open?
Get the buzz going now to force the issue when they can, because you can’t move the overton window without speaking out about it.

There are a few more stories like this, but those two tell most of it.
He closed down Trump Model Management in early 2017, likely because of the open child trafficking, and lost his connection to MC2 Modeling when Epstein was arrested. But he still has Paolo Zampolli, who to the best of my searching, still has deep ties to ID Model management.
But who are we kidding, Trump still has ties to a lot of creeps. Funny that.
Also, Trump is constantly talking to grok now, likely a version of grok tuned to constantly praise him more than the already spineless praise that you normally get from chatbots.
Trump only ever praises people, or things now I guess, that butter him up first.
I keep wanting to get more into music, but can never find the time/motivation to practice my scales.
I also tend to pick an instrument and abandon it every few years. I have nieces and nephews who occasionally get a second hand instrument.
That’s the goal. Gorsuch has openly talked about his fucked up interpretation of the first amendment that somehow allows State churches.
Alito doesn’t seem as impassioned about the subject, if only because he doesn’t seem to have a single original thought in his head. Read anything he wrote and compare it to the Fox news talking points that day, and it’s a 100% match.
Tungsten is too heavy. Just use a slightly thicker, hardened steel.
If you’re particularly crafty, it could be a fun machining project.
Umbrellas are a valid option at a protest, with a little 3d printing, you could have an attachable basket to attach to the handle.
And then you can shield yourself and others by opening the umbrella as needed.
There have been so many fuckups with ranked choice elections for me to ever recommend them.
Also, Palin acted as a spoiler candidate in that election. Which is still a thing in ranked choice.
Ranked Choice does not in fact solve anything and is in fact an ordinal voting system.
It too suffers from Arrows Impossibility Theorem.
Which is par for a system first invented and abandoned in 1785.
Cardinal voting systems are the only way to fix things long term.
Basically ordinal systems are built around the word “or”. You can support A or B and you must choose.
Cardinal systems are based around the word “and”. You can show the exact same level of support for multiple candidates, because in the end if there are two or three good candidates, who cares what order they’re in, just so long as one of them wins.
Approval, Score, and STAR are all good options. STAR was even designed this century with computer modeling and a modern understanding of social choice theory.
The problem is, he squeezed through the primary, then was against doc oz. A man who made fetterman look positively sane in comparison.
The primary system and ordinal voting gave us this jackass, and many more of them.
Merrick Garland was Biden’s fault.
The guy regularly speaks at Federalist Society events.
His name was put forward by Orin Hatch(R-UT) during a time when Republicans refused to even hold hearings for Obama’s court nominees.
That and a coordinated voter suppression campaign that ramped up massively in 2024.
Technically all that means is that the articles of impeachment pass the House.
Trump has been impeached twice already, the Republican controlled Senate refused to convict.
Epstein was working for Mossad, and Trump ran the exact same sort of child sex trafficking org, with Russian aid.
So yes, they have a lot of dirt on him, but he’s also a narcissist. A very stupid and evil narcissist.

The thing is, who exactly expects the price to come down?
The only reason why prices are as “low” as they are now is that most countries are actively emptying their strategic reserves.
Pipelines and refineries are being blown up, so the supply of new oil is way down and likely will not recover any time soon, if at all.
Evidence based on immigration filings from decades ago…
It doesn’t matter what judge they found, it’s still a fishing expedition that should have never been allowed.
Don’t play team sports with people’s lives in service of fascism.
