Every so often a new story pops up and everyone remembers that Elon is a white supremacist mass murderer who foments violence on his Nazi website. Then everyone forgets again.

The Punisher sticker we've needed all along

Musk buying twitter, Bezos buying WaPo, Ellison buying CBS—all are less profitable now. But they’re political investments that increase the value of the new owners’ portfolios Wealth concentration makes this possible, and that’s one mechanism by which inequality destroys democracy

Least surprising development ever

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

My god, I didn't know the Trump DOJ gave him back the boxes of classified documents they had seized at Mar a Lago.

It failed in totally predictable ways - exactly the ways Remain warned it would. A catastrophic failure of the information environment that UK voters were so badly misled about the consequences of the Brexit vote

Of course he’s a SPURS fan They got him out of going to Vietnam

Donald Trump called your wife ugly, your father a murderer, and you a pussy, and yet you lick his boots.

Also important to remember how the NYT enabled the rise of Bari Weiss, a fanatical Zionist whose transparent hypocrisy was always evident to anybody.

It's not infrastructure week. In fact, there's a whole bridge to Canada that's not being used because of a petty dispute with Trump, which has ballooned into a leverage play around the US-Mexico-Canada agreement. Good report from @gurleygg.bsky.social. prospect.org/2026/06/08/g...

Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss told him to lie about the killing Renee Good. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

Our job in 2026 is the same as it would have been in 1939—not to be "Good Germans" in the face of obvious fascism, racism, wicked cruelty.

Wide authors, if you haven't logged into Google Play recently, do so ASAP. Like Amazon KDP and Kobo, they are also jamming in a stupid gen AI recaps "feature" on all books effective 6 July 2026. Unlike the other two, at least we can opt out of this shit. h/t @ajcalvin.bsky.social for the heads up

There were 20-30 cop cars stopper flashing super bright blue lights on Claiborne between MLK and Jackson a little while ago. In 30’years of driving down Claiborne late at night I have never seen that many cop. Maybe 15 cop cars max even for a major shooting event.

You guys, the White House accidentally ordered 10x the amount of Porta-Potties that they needed. The lawn is just acres of Porta-Potties. It’s all fenced off and you can’t see, but I took this photo through a hole in the fence netting.

It is an absolute disgrace that they allow Pete Hegseth to speak at ANY European DDay memorial. Nazis speaking on the sacrifices make to stop them is a greater slap in the face than anything I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Funnily enough that was also Rommel at Normandy

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

there are currently FOUR ex-presidents in jail in Peru

Here's the article that was so important that no one read that the police were called in. Just saying.

hey the local fascist pigs made the NYT

is it because all the republicans left

Sounds like Louisiana Democrat Troy Carter is doing AIPAC’s paid bidding and voting with the GOP against holding Trump accountable. With friends like these….

"Here are the top 10 pay packages, along with ratios comparing executive compensation with that of the median employee."

The assignment was basically: How would you design therapy for someone sympathetic to Palestinian rights? It's not just Palestine that's being made unspeakable here, but the idea that human connections to Palestinians are even *possible*

I thought Chait couldn’t make me dislike him any more. Almost every paragraph drips with loaded judgment words, yet Chait bristles at the possibility some could call him a “corrupt shill” for the monopolists.

So folks understand the problems with the New York Times didn’t just start under Trump. The Times was the top promoter of invading Iraq (far more influential than Fox News) and it forwarded smears of the Clintons and Al Gore. The Times even did PR for Adolf Hitler before WWII. The problem isn’t new.

Brave of @npr.org ‘s “1A” program to host a panel of almost exclusively critics of Cuban government in order to justify the genocidal blockade and another potential Trump war.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

how could anyone possibly doubt that the nudifying, racism-pushing, "mechahitler" chatbot will be worth roughly the real GDP of the United States?

SLOW CLAP "AI boom means US is now ‘investing more’ in fossil-fuel power than China" Congratulations to US AI Tech Oligarchs www.carbonbrief.org/ai-boom-mean...

This is so fucking funny. This is what you make the night before a project is due in 3rd grade lmao.

It makes me literally crazy that these assholes can get paid thousands of dollars to write the worst pieces intended to pressure leftists into embracing capitalist liberalism and then are just rocket shipped up the ladder of elite institutions and swim in Scrooge McDuck rivers of funding.

This quote made the rounds a decade ago and it's equally true today.

They’re mad with power and have given up trying to maintain even a semblance of legitimacy.

I know I'm a broken record, but Trump *not* releasing his taxes as he promised and the IRS *not* auditing his taxes every year and releasing the results like they have for every goddamn president for forty years is the actual scandal. This won't outlast his term and should be fought right now

A quick warning to my fellow authors. An online book club asked me to do a zoom presentation about.Calling Bullshit. I agreed because outreach is critical to what I do. As things proceeded, they asked me for a contribution of several hundred dollars to cover their expenses! Don’t fall for this.

This 5-minute brief of top stories from @npr.org concludes with a bit about community resistance to building new AI data centers. They give the last word to a pro-AI academic, who describes resistance as “almost hysteria”, then it cuts to an ad for Oracle AI. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

It’s wild how many companies have been operating like Highly Subsidized AI is going to continue forever

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

You used to be able to google the time of the sunset, and Google would give you the exact time right on top every single time. Thankfully, with artificial intelligence, you can now ask Google what time the sun will set and it will conveniently tell you "I don't know."

Lebanon invasion*

trump's "skill" in making deals has always been based on one thing: his ability to refuse to honor the deal he just made he'll agree to do something and then just not do it and dare you to impose consequences on him for it if you can actually do that, well
