RFK said he had a worm in his brain in 2012 and gave it as the reason HE COULDN'T WORK SO HIS INCOME WAS LOWER for the purpose of giving less to his ex-wife. People should finish the story. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Huge win in Florida. The restrictions on providing gender affirming care to trans youth and adults have been found unconstitutional and are now permanently enjoined. Huge win by Simone Chriss and Southern Legal Counsel.

Sam Altman is the PT Barnum of tech - a career manipulator that founded only one startup - and it failed! - who developed a reputation for absenteeism at Y Combinator and was fired from OpenAI for being a deceitful manipulator. He's a disgrace to the tech industry. wheresyoured.at/false-prophet/

Silicon Valley has spent over a decade propping up Sam Altman's mythos, despite the fact that he's a failed founder and doesn't actually build things, all thanks to his one skill - beguiling and manipulating powerful people who also don't build anything. wheresyoured.at/false-prophet

Newsletter: The tech industry has a Sam Altman problem, one created by the Valley's power players accelerating the career of a manipulative non-technical con artist. And as he continues to lie about what AI can do, he's leading Silicon Valley to ruin. www.wheresyoured.at/false-prophet/

Silicon Valley's False Prophetwww.wheresyoured.at The tech industry has craved a messiah since the death of Steve Jobs, but in OpenAI CEO Sam Altman they’ve discovered more of a false prophet — a seedy grifter that uses his remarkable ability to impr...

The fun part about new social is blocking all the useless idiots all over again.

Husband: What's more on the nose than RFK having brain worms? Me: That he only disclosed he had brain worms because he didn't want to pay full alimony to his second wife, and we only know because reporters went through the court deposition. Husband: Well, yes.

It will always baffle me how we as a society have just let scammers ruin so many parts of our daily lives. We cannot take phone calls anymore, emails and texts are flooded with scams, and social media directs you to scam sites for everything from forever stamps to kids toys.

Wait a moment I thought Gregg Gonsalves was a good follow but no hes reposting Marc V.
