Here in Vancouver, Canada many years ago one of the morning show hosts dressed in a beaver suit with a big sign asking to buy heroin and went down to the east side and bought heroin live on air, then got handcuffed for buying drugs on air at 7 in the morning.

They went on a "totally planned vacation for a few days" after that incident.

Someone should have Robert Reich be their vice president. He could come out every second day and rip into some fucking companies for the shit they do to keep dragging the whole world down.

They really missed an opportunity to make an in joke.

The Majority Report had an excellent interview with this author Brian Merchant who wrote the book "Blood in the Machine" about the luddites. It is quite interesting that luddites were not against technology, they were against the owner class using machines to replace skilled workers with unskilled workers using mechanized systems for lower pay and taking all the profits.

The interview went for nearly an hour but is worth a watch. It starts at the 30 min mark. https://www.youtube.com/live/SOsFm5H_M3w?si=KNxbkNnziDdh0l7V

All this punishment on a smart kid who simply wanted to have a school councilor to talk to after he had lost his father to cancer.

This shitty principal should be fired and also investigated for false reporting. I'd be really interested to hear which student reported this boy for uttering a threat to kill the principal because it sounds more like the principal made this up to toss a kid in solitary confinement for a weekend to shut him up.

The IRS got $122 million from just 100 tax cheats, which further funded them to investigate more tax cheats.

This is what has them so furious to cut funding to the IRS because it works and it gets money from rich people's pockets.

Half of the population is below 19 years old. So they weren't even born when Hamas was elected.

The average age of Palestinians is 19. The average age of Israelis is 30. That tells you one thing, that you don't live a long life if your Palestinian.

From Wikipedia: Toma lived under the name András Tamás (Андраш Тамаш). A Czech linguist of Slovak descent, Karol Moravčík, identified him as Hungarian, and on 11 August 2000, Toma arrived back in Hungary where his family was identified through DNA matching. Since he was never discharged, Toma was promoted to sergeant major by the Minister of Defense, and since his military service had been continuous, his decades of accumulated unpaid salary were paid in full.

At least they didn't screw him out of his military pension.

Funny enough for the right wingers that don't like the gun control in California, it was first brought in because Reagan was fearful of the Black Panthers who were openly carrying fully legal assault rifles and those white politicians couldn't handle that second amendment applying to black gun owners.

One of my co-workers mentioned some video he's watching and seems to be excited to be moving towards free thought. I was going to suggest some channels to watch on YouTube starting with qualiasoup and Theramintrees to help him learn and absorb critical thought.

Has anybody else got some good videos to watch on critical thinking and free thought? He is not particularly religious, but it seems open to learning not particularly atheist things, but starting with more open-minded videos.

That fucker has been holding onto his original website "X .com" since before PayPal days.

He just finally figured out how he can get people to visit the site, he wants to prove to himself he wasn't wrong to hold it so long.

What an absolute Xloser.
