You ever read this? Might partially explain how we got here.
The Lewis Powell Memo: A Corporate Blueprint to Dominate Democracy
"Written in 1971 to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Lewis Powell Memo was a blueprint for corporate domination of American Democracy."

Interesting that this appears right after I start saying the exact same ideas lol
@barb There is a typo in the previous post, but it’s kind of funny and supports the premise. 🙃
@barb This makes a lot of sense. Millions of jobs threatened. How long before you can write an outline for a story, I want a drama, gun fight, mysterious death, pretty heroine, lead who sounds like Arnold S., and plot twist where all is not what it seems and have Robby Robot write it for you? A friend was playing around with AI Photoshop and said what can be done with a few text commands took more than an hour before giving up using manual traditional tools. 🤔

Pregnant woman killed, 4 injured in Houston shooting - UPI.com https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/07/22/pregnant-woman-killed-houston-shooting/1571690068479/
(Me: time after time, after time... too many guns) "One pulled a gun. When he pulled his gun, the other guy's girlfriend came out of her truck and came with a gun. They were talking back and forth about who would do what and however, and they started shooting at each other."

@thekitmalone it’s been a while but I was a Firefox fan until I started having big memory issues on my 2016 MBP, so I switched to Safari which on my Mac seem to handle memory better. I still use Firefox on my PC though.

So I was a #Firefox hardliner back in the day, and eventually moved to #Chrome when it started kinda getting unusable in the late aughts.
Just fired it up on my phone and laptop and I gotta say I'm impressed. It feels lean and fast by comparison, and syncing my old Chrome stuff was completely painfree.
@wdjorth His MAGA audience sets such a low bar, even he can succeed with his disposable, despicable nonsense. 🤔

Don the con is such a fool, so ignorant, a loser. He hides it by being fake and bullying the people looking for a “strong man” to help them through their understandable grievances.
The closing is most poignant: Don't let yourself be a mark for this con man.

@barb The poor are such a bother. I’ll let you pretend who said that quietly. 🤔

Migrants face misery in Tunisia. Rights activists fear that the EU deal will make things even worse https://apnews.com/article/4500616048008a4f5c4e85a84b2e82fe
@GW@newsie.social when I pray it’s to the equivalent of #TheFates hoping they spin up an appropriate one for #TheHeadLiar. Or maybe it will be #Karma that strikes based on a sad dedicated life of screwing over his fellow man and women. The answer he gave at an Iowa Town Hall regarding who his religious mentor was, would be laughable if his re-election would not represent a full blown tragedy for the Nation/the World. 🤔

@ai6yr I was following @nwsgsp_bot and it seems it’s no longer posting up over here. Is there another way I should be looking for the specific NWS bots?
