AJC - The Georgia Court of Appeals rules that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office should be removed from the 2020 election interference case, a bombshell decision that will upend the last remaining criminal case against incoming President Trump. ajc.com/politics/court-of-appe

Media, six months ago: "This guy is a conspiracy theorist, and look at all these kooky things he believes in!"

Media, today: "Ah, that chap is now in charge of Department X! Here's how he will revolutionize X! What a genius!"

A health insurance CEO gets basically assassinated in New York - and it sparks the biggest SoMe explosion on the state of health care in the US, the AI fucked up refusals, the time limits on anesthesia, the fact the US spends more per capita than any other country, and has one of the worst outcomes

Yet the media is all about CEOs freaking out and hiring security

Maybe don't sell a product that people require, you end up denying anyway, and leave families in huge debt

"Poilievre's office says it has 'no knowledge' of interference."

"CSIS did not advise the Conservative Party of Canada of any intelligence suggesting there was foreign interference in the leadership contest."

Of course not! He's not allowed to see the reports. CSIS doesn't share intel with randos.

"Common sense" is another way of saying "flying by the seat of your pants." Combine that with the willful ignorance on display by not getting security cleared.

You know, call me a revolutionary if you must, but I would like to see more people OUT of work and not IN it. I would like work to be a choice not a requirement.

We are not meat robots for the corporate class.

Since I saw a report about 1984 (because of a new audio version done for motherfucking Audible!) with the same talking points, here's the usual correction:

1984 is not a book about total surveillance. It's a book about how to ensure the middle class will never stand with the lower classes against power. It's about how to destroy solidarity. In 1984 only the middle class is surveilled, the lower classes (proles) and the upper class (inner party) are not. It's a book about power and class politics that is more relevant than ever - but not "because our phones surveil us".
