For 90 years, Social Security has paid benefits in full and on time. Until now. This year, Donald Trump and Elon Musk pushed out 7,000 Social Security experts and replaced them with an AI chatbot.

Lassen Volcanic National Park is home to steaming fumaroles, meadows freckled with wildflowers, clear mountain lakes, and numerous volcanoes. Jagged peaks tell the story of its eruptive past while hot water continues to shape the land.
Obviously, the revolution will produce many misfortunes, many sufferings; but if it produced one hundred times more of them, it would still be a blessing relative to what one endures today. -- Errico Malatesta

Les raisons du départ du général Burkhard importent peu.

This guy doesn't even get the point. Families used to have exclusive domain over raising kids. Increasingly the government wants in on the business. That's the whole friggin point.
These modern kids exposed to govt "parenting" are messed up. They are right to get called out.

Frantic backlash from pro-vaccine loyalists may be the strongest sign yet that President Trump's "long time ago" comment on Warp Speed marks a welcome shift toward reconsidering the mRNA agenda.
A powerful new documentary is pulling back the curtain on the dangers of mRNA "vaccines," and it features some of the world's most prominent doctors and scientists whose warnings have been silenced for years.
Pathologist Ryan Cole, an expert in virology and immunology, describes the human toll:
“It’s crazy to think that people that aren’t doctors, aren’t scientists, were pushing something that never worked.
“And now we have millions of people around the world that carry permanent harm for the rest of their lives, who are now paralyzed, who now have neurodegenerative disease, who now have severe autoimmune diseases.”
“Science that can’t be questioned is propaganda,” he adds.

About 1.2 million years ago, a spectacular volcanic eruption created a 14-mile-wide circular depression in the earth now known as Valles Caldera. The preserve is known for its huge mountain meadows, abundant wildlife, and meandering streams.
For anyone who still thinks Donald Trump does not represent the interests of what is called “the deep state” but is actually the shallow or official US state, it is time to think again. If he is no…
Trump chce Nobelovu cenu. Víte, že Neville Chamberlain a Adolf Hitler byli v roce 1939 za Mnichovskou dohodu nominováni na Nobelovu cenu míru? Spojenci tehdy zradili Československo a předali Sudety nacistickému Německu, což de facto později vedlo k druhé světové válce. Austen Chamberlain ji dokonce dříve získal za smíření Německa a Francie po velké světové válce, která se i díky neúspěšné politice appeasementu jeho bratra následně přejmenovala na první světovou válku...

The term "pro-enshittificatory" made me think of folks in that mode being "enshittiphiles". That must be out there somewhere, but search doesn't find it.
«Class actions are the only way that corporations can be held to account for actions that victimize vast numbers of people in relatively small ways. If you've been injured to the tune of less than, say, $500, you probably won't hire a lawyer to get it back. Bluesky has 36 million users, meaning – thanks to the ban on class actions – it could steal about $18 billion from them all without having to worry about a gigantic, business-destroying lawsuit.»
