Ad_Homonym_ 8y ago As probably the most prominent centerist-to-liberal Mormon in the world, what should the Mormon church's response to the Trump administration be? WatsonsBitch OP 8y ago The same as everyone else's: help register millions of people to vote for someone else. I'm not particularly centrist, but I am probably the world's most prominent Trotskyite Mormon. All wealth should be stripped from the hands of the capital class--except game show winners, who got theirs fair and square.

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC. IT’S NOT ME November 6, 2025 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Omaha, NE (BRK.A; BRK.B) – It has come to the attention of Warren Buffett that there are several videos posted on YouTube that include alleged comments of Mr. Buffett by images or AI created images impersonating Mr. Buffett. Generally, such video images of Mr. Buffett may appear to look like him but the sound of the impersonator speaking in a very flat monotone voice is clearly not the voice of Mr. Buffett. A link to one such video appearing on YouTube follows: https://www.youtube.com/@WW2Echoessss. Mr. Buffett is concerned that these types of fraudulent videos are becoming a spreading virus. Individuals who are less familiar with Mr. Buffett may believe these videos are real and be misled by the contents of these videos. Mr. Buffett has rarely commented publicly since Berkshire’s shareholder’s meeting last May. On Monday, November 10th, Berkshire will be issuing a press release which will contain a message from Mr. Buffett regarding philanthropy, Berkshire and other matters that Berkshire shareholders and others may find to be of interest. The press release will be posted on Berkshire’s website. — END — Contact Marc D. Hamburg 402-346-1400

The underside of a commercial passenger aircraft toilet lid. There is a label that says “Trash it do not flush it” accompanying a “no” symbol overlaid over various waste (cups, pads, bottles etc) being dumped into a toilet. The text “do not flush it” has large letter spacing, almost as wide as the spaces between the words, making it ambiguous whether it actually says “flush it” or “flu shit”.
