@jackLondon These are natural or volunteer sheep happy, apathetic, or just not strong enough to resist or assert. Maybe it was that self serving fantasy that they gulped down. Easier to just hoof it down the shoot to their shearing. 😳

I don't think sheep get to vote.... humankind is not perfectable - no surprise that. Planning on the basis that it is seems to me an error that will always result in disappointment
@billyjoebowers The Broken Bad GOzP, guaranteed to come down on the wrong side of every human interest issue and controversy. “Go with the money… always. You’re just the little whiny sheep, why should we fight for you?” 🤑 #InProfitsWeTrust
@Free_Press So the poison left on his own accord. The fate of those assets? May they 🔥 in the fire of their own making.

Rupert Murdoch, whose sheer force of will allowed him to build a media empire that influenced the course of national politics in the U.S., U.K. and Australia, will step down as the titular head of the companies he controls, Fox Corp. and News Corp. — a move that could raise new questions about the fates of both assets.

@WarnerCrocker #GOzP When they look at their options, anarchy looks like a preferred state (to them) as compared to a sane, functioning government represented by the people, all of the people, expressing the will of the majority, who btw, holds their noses in disgust at their blatant anti-democracy tactics. “But we’re patriots” they scream with a wink to their co-conspirators hoping the gullible sheep continue to be fooled, or are happy living in a pseudo-democracy.

House GOP rejects Rules bill to begin debate on Pentagon Spending. (Again)
Given the chaos.
No chaos is too easy a description.
Given the anarchy.
Not that either.
Given the bullshit that passes for responsible leadership
That’s it.
Why are we even allowing the House of Representatives to even pretend to conduct business?

Chancellor Scholz warned against "pseudo-solutions" when seeking peace in Ukraine at the UN General Assembly.
"We must steer clear of any pseudo-solutions where ‘peace’ is merely a word. Peace without freedom is oppression."

Scientists find earliest known wooden structure dating back nearly half a million years which, for a bonus fact, means it pre-dates Homo Sapiens

Language trees with sampled ancestors support a hybrid model for the origin of Indo-European languages
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abg0818
These findings lead to a “hybrid hypothesis” that reconciles current linguistic and ancient DNA evidence from both the eastern Fertile Crescent and the steppe.

@jackLondon You can say there are a lot of good people out there but there are also a lot of shits, along with the sheep. It does not bode well for the species or the planet. ☠️

Well we got #Murdoch poison imposed on our politics in the UK first..... I doubt we would have left the EU or suffered the worst right wing stupidity in history without his malign influence
He & his ilk enabled all the far Right populism that has sickened multiple countries in Europe
I think it no exaggeration to say our collective politics now is worse & more dangerous than it has been since the 1930s.... and it is largely down to the rise of the egocentric right he represents
@jackLondon Murdoch THE ABSOLUTE WORSE THING (POS) to happen to American news and media reporting in my lifetime. One of many negative extremes that human beings will take Capitalism to. It can really make you question how good of a species we are, to be able to easily harm each other for personal profit. 🤑🤢

From #murdoch resignation letter:
""Self-serving bureaucracies are seeking to silence those who would question their provenance and purpose. Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class"
What the fuch does the tax avoiding billionaire think he is, if not "elite" ?
Bullshit #populism of the sort that has poisoned our polity.....

Kevin McCarthy Has (Once Again) Lost Control: With the radical right calling the shots, the government is likely to shut down. McCarthy seems powerless to do anything.
