Estimated FY2026 tariff revenue: $207 billion. Estimated FY2026 individual income tax revenue: $2.6 trillion.

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview. If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

“records show these men need to be investigated!!! but those same records about me are a hoax.”

We’re at the point now where AI probably just spends increasing amounts of time obsessing over the minute details of The Terminator, like Deep Blue trying to figure out where it went wrong.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Happy Halloween.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It was the biggest protest in US history, but what happens next is what really matters. Andrea Pitzer on what NO KINGS means and how to keep Trump rattled.

All of the pilfering, vandalism, and outright death caused by DOGE cuts, and all of the thefts from the future by illegally stopping research grants, didn't save a penny, Trump spent the money and more on corruption and incompetent ICE goons.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

No, it’s just that we hate pedophiles

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

We were actually getting somewhere, too. 😞 @sbmitche.bsky.social www.library.hbs.edu/working-know...

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them. If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Received my open print exchange prints this week. Really happy to be a part of this project. I added my print to the mix (bottom row, far right) to make it a full ten prints. #openprintexchange #openpressproject #printmaking

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

What’s it like listening to a podcast where historians describe our current state of affairs by noting historical parallels? Kinda like this. #sketch #history #podcast

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

You could literally take any number of quotes from today’s spectacle, put a photo of Trump or Hegseth as a background and you’d have yourself one of the finest demotivational posters ever.

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

It’s my birthday, the autumn equinox and the first day of fall 💛🍂 It would mean a lot if you could share my work today. Thank you for all the support this year. It’s everything to me Hope Persephone’s blessings find you today ✨

Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Looking forward to this being in the hands of insurance companies that will take your money but then deny coverage based upon AI determined pre existing health conditions.

The amount of shit I got for this segment at the time was astronomical, and it was all from people who now stalk CVS employees to get them fired for insufficient online sadness. Cheering on political violence is both evil and not new, an outgrowth of an internet intentionally dismantled years ago.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.

I’ve never felt so disheartened. My small business means everything to me and I want to keep going. Please have a look at my website. Buy things, commission me or repost. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk Thank you.

At some point in the not too distant future the conventional wisdom will be that this was a period where the US focused on dumb shit while China took the lead in multiple domains

New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office. 

In fact, AI could replace the job of say, for example, Director of the National Economic Council of the United States.

The main thing you need to know about the "Russia hoax"? It's not a hoax from @dgraham.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Law firms, universities, media companies, and now banks. If people don’t understand what’s happening to our country, it’s because they don’t want to.

Inked my pencil sketch on linoleum so it’s just about ready to carve. #wip #linocut #printmaking

I wish I was capable of caring for a bonsai without killing it within a few months. Fortunately I can enjoy them at the Como Conservatory which has an amazing bonsai section. #bonsai

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday the agreement of a new 15 percent reciprocal tariffs trade deal with Japan, which was roundly mocked by observers for being worse than the deal the U.S. had with Japan before Trump took office.

Saw the Superman movie last night. Pretty sure I saw a Maltese Falcon replica in Lois’ apartment. I googled it and couldn’t find any confirmation. Apparently James Gunn has a thing about the MF, including a line in Guardians of the Galaxy, so it seems like it would make sense.
