80% of Australians support a ban. A majority of politicians who receive 'gifts' from the gambling lobby don't give a damn. I'd bet (pun intended) on which opinion will form government policy.

The American dream was always just propaganda. It's just unreachable to more of society than it used to be.

Don't forget; it's not just Flock. You may have seen news stories of Flock losing their contracts with cities. This isn't due to public pressure. It's because Axon won the contracts instead. The surveillance state is here, and it's not going away while politicians are indebted to lobbyists.

The extrajudicial killing of non-combatants by American forces is not unusual. The difference is that the Trump regime just doesn't give a damn about the optics.

That's what it mainly is now, but it was originally because it turned people into agnostics and atheists.

We should crowd-fund billboards near wherever Musk lives with that headline on it. I'd certainly chip in a few bucks.

The henhouse has been converted to a fox den.

The simple answer to "How have we got into this mess?" is undue influence by lobbyists.

I love what she has to say, but I wish she didn't have such a talent for turning what should be a concise five-minute story into a rambling ten-minute one.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies profits for the military-industrial complex and the politicians who own shares in it.

Doesn't she already own the whole set?

What’s really, really clear is that CCS is an exhorbitantly expensive scam.

This is one of the two good things Trump has managed to accomplish. His behaviour has encouraged numerous countries to decouple from America as much as possible, and he's encouraged the racists to publicly out themselves. Unsurprisingly, both were unintentional.

Imagine what the creators of 26-episode seasons would think of 8-episode seasons released all at once.

I suspect the history taught in the future will omit anything about this period that doesn't paint the oligarchs and Christofascists as saints.

With the rise of AI, job growth will be a thing of the past.
