This is your Election Day reminder that Andrew Cuomo’s response to the mass death of his own voters was to rake in campaign money and try to block victims’ families from holding his donors accountable. www.levernews.com/investigatio...

The LSST Camera at Rubin Observatory will discover millions of new celestial objects. It will also show that density of galaxy distribution across time proves the universe is NOT expanding, but don't expect astrophysicists to admit that reality. youtu.be/V4HxyS0M2UM #science #criticalthinking

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Dig deeper. Ask the question, what are the real causes of America’s current mess? Ask what in America led to Trump. Many people simply don’t get this. Worse, many people don't want to get it. They find it easier to think in lazy, binary terms.

AI remains little more than Tech Bro fantasies and marketing hype to vacuum up venture capital and sales to the gullible. When will the bubble burst and people start going where Bankman-Fried was sent?

The dominant victory of visual-based social media has had many negative consequences for our society. One was making it even harder for good arguments to stand on their own and not be overwhelmed by charismatic characters (and fraudsters) better at hacking our attention.

Those being giddy over the Elon Musk-Donald Trump pissing match are forgetting something. It's a fight over whether to divert a shitload of money and power from The 99% to The 1% or a megashitload of money and power from The 99% to The 1%.

Radio trash talker Mark R. Levin is releasing a book called “On Power.” Given his history, it will be another pompous, fallacy-laden rant, but it will prove true what I wrote about the right wing and power. dgilesauthor.com/a-philosophy... #politics #Project2025

The corporate media has started a whispering campaign that Curtis Yarvin is the savant behind the right wing push for autocracy. This nonsense is another contrived distraction to prevent them talking about real forces and rationale of the right wing. Some real talk: dgilesauthor.com/a-philosophy...

And in the past three weeks, BlueSky has only become worse--memes and snark without substance or dialogue. BlueSky promised to be the original Twitter, but it's turned out to be just another X. 😞
