Dusty's reaction to this murder

is extremely touching. This shit has been allowed to go on too long. Its time for the people to stop this shit.

Some media suggestions for Progressives

I used to listen to and watch MSNBC and FreeSpeechTV for news and discussion. After the disaster that was the last election I came to the realization that these sites were not providing the information nor the approach I felt was needed to address the Fascism creeping into our society. I've stopped using these sites and services.

Here is a short list of some of the other sources I now use.

1. "The Daily Beans" ( https://mswmedia.com/show/daily-beans/ )
A Monday through Friday daily news wrap up hosted by Allison Gill and Dana Goldberg. Usually approx. an hour long featuring news and oocasional guests The Daily Beans is an especially good news show that covers news of interest to Progressives without corporate spin.

2. "The Thom Hartmann Show" ( https://www.youtube.com/@thomhartmann/streams )
One of the most intelligent political commentators around Thom hosts regular guests and callers comments. The show is live on You Tube from 9 a.m. to 12 noon Monday through Friday PST.

3. "Net Roots Radio" ( https://www.netrootsradio.com/ )
A 24/7 source for progressive news and commentary featuring several good programs.

4."The Al Franken Podcast" ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-al-franken-podcast/id1462195742 )
A weekly podcast hosted by Al Franken that features interesting interviews and commentary.

5. "The Dusty Show" ( https://www.youtube.com/@CultOfDusty/streams )
A video roundup of national news hosted multiple times a week by Dusty Smith. Dusty is brutally honest about the absurdity that is the Republican party under Donald Trump. His comments are biting and on target regarding the idiots in the Republican party and the hypocrisy so prevalent in our society these days. 4 letter words are used in case that might offend you.

Anyway there are some alternatives for those of you seeking change from MSNBC and FreeSpeechTV.

Probably the funniest 10 seconds I've ever seen...

from Bluesky.

I have no idea if this is real or AI. It is funny though.

I needed a good laugh this morning!

Trump floats the idea of a third term.......

2073

I highly recommend this movie. It straddles the genres between story telling and documentary. An extremely chilling story that bounces between the miserable life of an average woman trying to survive in a future society that has been shaped by people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump, Peter Thiel and others and the current events in our times that led to the conditions the main character is dealing with in her times.
If you're still sitting on the fence about ceasing the use of the services offered by these billionaires this should push you off the fence. There is nothing more important than cutting off money flow to these monsters. Money is their oxygen. Our data is their lifeblood. End them now while we still can.

Trump floats 'compensation fund' for pardoned J6 rioters

Trump is an insane asshole
On a scale from kindest to worst the kindest punishment for this traitorous windbag is to be locked up for the rest of his life in a mental institution.....in El Salvador.

I would prefer the following.....

Pootie thanks the Donald

With the latest from the UN

Its clear that Trump is committing treason. He must be removed and tried for his crimes.

Playing with AI

Lately I've been exploring using AI to create AI versions of political cartoons. This time around I though I would try using it to recreate a fond memory of a friend from High School. The result isn't a perfect match for my memory but it got the basic elements of the scene right and the hair color is spot on.

Couldn't sleep

and feeling creative in the wee hours.
