A tech billionaire doxxing a literal teenager and trying to ruin his life is utterly psychotic behavior.

Elon Musk is set to become a trillionaire within the next few months and a Karl Marx quote comes to mind. "One day there will be trillionaires, but you will still have nothing." Amazing powers of prediction.

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today. Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.

Weeks into filming The Breakfast Club, John Hughes made a decision: Judd Nelson had to go. It wasn't a passing frustration. Molly Ringwald later described Hughes as angrier than she had ever seen him — not the managed tension of a director having a rough day, but something final. Something absolute. The set went still. Everyone understood what it meant. Nelson had arrived with a commitment that made people uncomfortable. Trained in the method tradition at the Stella Adler Conservatory, he had decided before shooting began that he would never step out of character. Not between takes. Not at lunch. Not for anyone. The character was John Bender — hostile, wounded, probing for weakness in everyone around him, turning every room into a test of who would break first. Staying in that character continuously meant staying sharp and needling and unpredictable. The set, much of the time, felt like the library in the film. His primary target was Ringwald. She later said she understood. She could see the method behind the provocation — that the discomfort Nelson created between takes was the same discomfort that made their scenes together feel raw instead of rehearsed. She was a professional. She recognized a professional working. Hughes did not see it that way. When he said he wanted Nelson removed, the cast faced a quiet crisis. Bender wasn't a supporting role. He was the engine — the force pushing every other character toward the truth the whole film was built around. Recasting weeks in, with the chemistry already forming, wasn't a minor adjustment. It was a potential collapse. So they walked in together. Ringwald went first — the person Nelson had been targeting, the one whose discomfort had set everything off. Ally Sheedy went. Anthony Michael Hall went. Emilio Estevez went. They told Hughes that what looked like provocation was commitment. That the discomfort was the point. That Bender was working because Nelson was working. Paul Gleason — the veteran playing Principal Vernon, a man who had spent a career learning to tell the difference between someone causing problems and someone solving them unusually — added his voice. Nelson deserved to finish. Hughes listened. He changed his mind. Nelson stayed. He fought for every corner of the character — including the scene where Bender describes his father burning him with a cigar. Hughes wanted the cruelty to read as careless, accidental. Nelson pushed back hard. He had built this character from the inside, and the inside required deliberate damage — a father who chose to hurt his son, because only that specific intentional cruelty could explain the specific intentional damage Bender aimed at everyone around him. He won that argument too. The scene plays exactly as Nelson wanted it. Bender describes his father with the flat affect of someone who processed horror by draining all the feeling out of it. The emptiness is more disturbing than anger would have been. Roger Ebert, reviewing the film on its release in February 1985, called Bender the strong center of the movie. The Breakfast Club cost around a million dollars to make. It earned fifty-one million. It became one of the defining films of a generation — not as a time capsule, but as something that kept finding new audiences for decades, because what it said about identity, and the gap between who we appear to be and who we actually are, was true enough to stay true. Nelson said afterward that Hughes was one of the only directors he ever worked with who genuinely wanted collaboration — who would hear a better argument and change his position. Working with others later made him understand how rare that was. He also said, simply, that he never wanted to be difficult. He just didn't want to fail the character. He didn't fail him. But the Bender that ended up on screen — the one generations of teenagers recognized as the most honest portrait of a certain kind of hurt they had never seen named before — exists because four young actors walked into a hard conversation with their director and asked him to give a fifth one more time. A film about strangers choosing to protect each other was saved by strangers choosing to protect each other. *That's either a coincidence. Or it was always the only way it could have worked.

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement. "Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

🚨 WTF?! Top congressman Thomas Massie confirms US fighter jets were launched to save the USS Liberty from the Israeli attack, but Washington inexplicably recalled them. The Pentagon intentionally abandoned their own men for 17 hours to protect Zionist regime! Total betrayal.
🚨 DISGUSTING: Patriot Thomas Massie confirms the Israeli military intentionally dropped napalm on the USS Liberty and explicitly machine-gunned American lifeboats. Washington actively covers up this horrific war crime to protect the Zionist regime. Absolute betrayal!

Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”

Israel is teaching you something very important. Peaceful protests don't work Violent protests don't work Only assassinations, bribes and blackmail work. Which is they they killed JFK and Charlie Kirk. Why they gave Trump a golden pager Why they spend hundreds of millions of dollars bribing and blackmailing US politicians.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Let the @ChicagoBears go. Let them move from a world class city to a hog farm. Without the CHICAGO in front of that name their value plummets.
