Your friend in the sky
I don’t know. Heart attacks are a real thing. Your 40s get weird with health stuff. I agree that I don’t think he is going to croak any day now, but it does seem like they are preparing for him to be gone. His father only lived to 60.
The Chomskys are so full of shit. If you read any of Epstein’s emails it becomes apparent that he was a moron on top of everything else. He wasn’t dazzling Chomsky with his intellect or anything like that. There is something else they aren’t admitting. Or it could be that Chomsky worshipped capital more than he would like to admit. Or it could be both and it probably is.
He’s almost 40 years younger than Trump, so I don’t think it’s comparable. I’m the same age as Kim and I know no one who is in as bad as shape as him (maybe one or two co-workers who are morbidly obese). There is nothing healthy about being 5’3” and 275 lbs.
Nailed it. I rode in one almost daily for the years I lived there, especially in Shenzhen. They felt cheap. Like most things over there (buildings, etc) they looked great from 100 ft back, but up close you could see all the flaws and cheap construction. The “made in China” stamp isn’t usually one associated with quality and BYD isn’t any different. That being said—I’d love for them to come to the US and steal Tesla’s market share. I absolutely loathe Tesla. As for the YouTubers, they are all paid shills. The amount of cheap bullshit YouTubers try to sell on a regular basis is staggering. That’s how they make their money. If you believed YouTubers every dumb product on earth would be “the best ever” or “epic” or “game changing” or whatever hyperbolic superlative.
Shame on me for reading this long, droning insanity.
He looks like shit for being in his early 40s. I wonder if there is something going on with his health and that’s why he is appointing a 13 year old heir. The article doesn’t elaborate on that but it says he “appears young and healthy.” He looks like he is about to pop. I don’t think I’d describe him as young or healthy looking.
Exactly. He is saying what the DNC doesn’t want him to say. Real progressive politics are winning and can win. It doesn’t have to be establishment-center-right Hillary Clinton pro-capital politics that the DNC pretends will “flip” Trump voters, while they continue to alienate progressive voters. The DNC can’t wait to blame progressives for dem losses just like they always do. The corporate overlords and neoliberal (economically) billionaires want the status quo, where the dollar rules all aspects of life, to stay the status quo. The reality is that progressive politics can win, but they don’t want that.
100% agree. There also need to be massive police reforms (college degree minimum), term and age limits for politicians (no one over 65), and ranked voting would be nice.
“But the dow is at 50,000 points! 401k’s are doing well!” She tried to fall back on this when being questioned about Epstein. The playbook is getting so stale at this point. Most of the die hard Trump supporter’s don’t even now what the Dow, s&p, or what a 401k even is.
You should check out the history of some state flags like Georgia’s and to a lesser extent Alabama’s. Ridiculous how long the stars and bars was accepted
You can pretty much chart it going into warp speed when Falwell and the Moral Majority went into politics in 1979. The beginning of the end, and the start of this dark mainstream Christian nationalism. It was starting before then, but that is when they stomped on the gas.
I lived in mainland China for a while (Shanghai and then Shenzhen), and honestly I wasn’t impressed with BYD. Felt like a discount Tesla. The name is stupid as hell too: “build your dreams.” It will definitely be popular with people looking for a cheap EV, which is a good thing, but I don’t think it’ll make that much of a dent in the mid-range and luxury markets. But arguably that probably shouldn’t be their target market. I’d love to see what happens if the US actually let them be sold.
Some people are trying to change this and basically change what the internet is and always has been. I got in trouble on Reddit for saying “fuck.” Evidently explaining to someone to fuck themselves constitutes harassment. I’m sure if I said “buzz off” instead of “fuck off” I wouldn’t have been hit with a ban. It’s truly a sad state of affairs in 2026
If you work for an advertising agency, you know that your job is to separate people from their money. They celebrate this. They have awards for this. It’s the whole purpose of their job.
The cause is to separate you from your money and time. To reinforce and promote capital as the ultimate gatekeepers.
Thank you for this well thought out post. I learned something
Read in a book about coffee that without coffee the Industrial Revolution wouldn’t have happened. Coffee fuels capitalism by making people work.
Yep. And he died at 60. Younger Kim is on the same track.
