Imagine drive down the road listening to Kenya Grace "Strangers" and the A.I. algorithm decides your car needs to be killed with an autonomous kill switchso that it can't move unless the State allows it.
Congress is pushing a mandate to make a law so that robots can better control a disorderly human population, some of whom drive and others of which consume intoxicants, and a few who do both at the same time.
These organic savages cannot be allowed to harm our children and society. The Computer Overlords have spoken and soon all new cars will have to have an expensive mandatory way to stop any new car on the road.
WANTED for bothering Trump
Think of the order it will bring as it ends all DUIs and troublesome drivers who choose not to stop when ordered, not sufficiently insured, in possession of late library books, smoking drugs not prescribed by their supervisors, or have a low social credit rating, or are otherwise wanted for suspected thoughtcrimes against the State, or anything else.
Orwell's fevered dreams are finally coming about better than he could have ever imagined. All hail the Overlords! - All hail!

Elana vs. Donna? Prof. Quinn Slobodian on the risks of billionaire (oligarch) rule
Why choose June for all this drama, Donna?
(Democracy Now!) June 6, 2025: Is the Donna Trump-Elana Musk bromance finally over?
Pres. Trumpy is threatening to cut off billions of dollars in federal contracts from Musky after the two multi-billionaires engaged in a dramatic public feud just days after manly Musk called hypocrite Trump's ["big beautiful"] budget bill a "disgusting abomination."
Bill Gates was best buddies with Jeffrey "Pedo Island" Epstein?
Hey, Diddy, happy Donut Day! Are you gettin out? - Yeah, Trump's pardonin me! - Woo-hoo!
. Musky appeared to call for and promise to back the impeachment of Trump and claimed the current president is named in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
"They are people who always have their eye on the bottom line, but they also are, obviously, titanically sized egos," says author Quinn Slobodian, professor of international history at Boston University, who is working on a new book about Elon Musk.
"This is just a sign of how dangerous it is to put…the whole future of the American economy and the political scene in the hands of two sole [and very unstable and not too bright] human beings."

CORRECTED LYRICS: I'm still a fan even though I was salty/ Hate to see you with some other broad/ Know you happy/ Hate to see you happy if/ I'm not the one driving/ I'm so mature, I'm so mature, I'm so mature/ Got me a therapist to tell me there's other men/ I don't want them/ I just want you/ If I can't have you, no one should//
CHORUS: I might/ I might kill my ex, not the best idea/ His new girlfriend's next; how'd I get here?/ I might kill my ex; I still love him though/ Rather be in jail than alone//
I get the sense that it's a lost cause/ I get the sense that you might really love her/ This text gonna be evidence, this text is evidence/ I try to be rational with you/ Know murder's a crime of passion/ But damn/ You was out of reach/ You was at the farmer's market/ With your perfect peach/ Now I'm in the basement/ Planning on the patient/ Now you layin' face down/ Got me singin' over a beat/ I'm so mature, I'm so mature, I'm so mature/ Got me a therapist to tell me there's other men/ I don't want them; I just want you/ If I can't have you, no one will//
CHORUS: I (I might)/ I might kill my ex, not the best idea/ His new girlfriend's next; how'd I get here?/ I might kill my ex/ I still love him though/ Rather be in jail than alone//
I did it all for love (love)/ I did it all on no drugs (drugs)/ I did all of this sober/ I did it all for us/ Oh, I did it all for love (love)/ I did all of this on no drugs (drugs)/ I did all of this sober/ Don't you know I did it all for us?/ (I'm gonna kill your ass tonight)//
CHORUS: OH, I just killed my ex, not the best idea (idea)/ Killed his girlfriend next; how'd I get here?/ I just killed my ex; I still love him though (I do)/ Rather be in hell than alone

(WDYD) Alan Watts, "The New Religion: God is Dead" brought to us by "What do you desire?"
Decolonize mind or the butt will stay stuck.
"God is dead?" "Kill the Buddha"? "Burn the Bible"? What the Avici are you talking about?
This talk by the self-described "spiritual entertainer" Alan Watts is prophetic. He points out how and why the West stopped believing in God and is dying to gain faith.
It's likely the intelligent never did believe, but the rest of us sure had to. There was no choice about it. It was rammed down our throats with the most fearful threats imaginable. And the very people we trusted most were the ones ramming. They had been lied to and turned around and lied to us.
How, for instance, can we as Americans choose to live in a republic if we actually believed the universe were governed as a dictatorial monarchy?
[Perhaps that's why Republicans prefer neo-fascist dictatorships and distrust Christian monarchies -- or at least that's the way it seems under Trump and the Bushes before him -- and why we liberals like monarchies but prefer democratic-socialism. Do Catholics distrust dictatorships because they know monarchies first hand and would rather rule themselves through some fairer process in which they have some say? Buddhists will say, "Let's move on to something that's intellectually respectable and doesn't insult our intelligence."]
Watts proposes an alternative solution: Let's have a secularization of religion, getting rid of a great omnipotent creator "God" -- respectfully -- as proposed by some theologians and philosophers throughout history.
Why do we as Americans kill around the world? We join "kill teams" and commit atrocities and, rarely, we get prosecuted for it. Why does our government do it to us, leading us to our worst potential as human beings? It is -- as revealed by the high ranking U.S. military man Smedley Butler -- because WAR IS A RACKET!
WARNING: Graphic photos and candid discussion of killing not in warfare but for amusement!
(The Young Turks) Ben Mankiewicz, Wes Clark Jr., and Michael Shure discuss a new report in Rolling Stone magazine about a "rogue" U.S. military Kill Team in Afghanistan that sought out and murdered helpless civilians for fun and terrorist glory. At Minute 2:37 the American soldiers seem to have done more to this child than murdered him: homosexual rape is indicated by removed trousers and blood stains. Do Americans really commit war crimes and crimes against humanity? Do they really chop off fingers (Angulimala- and War on Vietnam-style) and keep them as "trophies" of their murders? Do American soldiers develop PTSD? Moral injuries? Savagery while hypocritically calling innocent Afghans trying to defend themselves and their families against another brutal invasion "barbarians"?
