For the @wired.com Big Interview this week, I interviewed California gubernatorial hopeful and billionaire Tom Steyer. It was a tough hang for many reasons, but particularly because he didn't know who he was talking to.

An "emergency influx" of white South Africans as a White Supremacist movement prepares to do away with legal elections. Pretty fucking obvious.

"I'm a Rugged Individualist and my heroes are rich people and the cops!" ... <sigh> What happened, while I was away?

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

The level of delusion amongst the detachedly wealthy is truly astonishing. It should be studied as a genuine mental illness. Humans with a broken satiation response, no functioning mirror neurons and no connection to humanity as a whole. No wonder they go destructively insane.

All mushrooms are edible. Many are edible only once.

Amazing how predators can make something good sound bad.

its wild to live in a time where you know if this case came up now it would not be unanimous, and I can't even say for sure they'd strike down segregation

Good analysis

Interesting that they were surprised at being booed at telling a bunch of art college grads that AI is their future. The insulation around these folks is pretty thick, ain't it?

Trump Has a New Terrorist. It's You. open.substack.com/pub/barbaraf...

Rep. Jim McGovern This isn't some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein's sexual abuse. I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the Plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything

After 12 years, the EU flag is back on Hungary’s Parliament building — the new Speaker’s very first decision. A happy Schuman Day indeed.

The Regime Got Caught Hiding Proof That Vaccines Are Safe—And That’s Not Even The Best Story Today #TrumpsGasProblem

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced. That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

Hold.

Thought other politicians just hated Mamdami's guts so much because of racism, but he seems to be setting the kind of standards they Really don't want to meet so maybe he scares the shit out of them because he's showing everyone how easy it would be to actually do their damn jobs

I Fully Endorse this Idea….

Does your dog bite? No, he blesses.. 😅

Zelenskyy broke Russia Putin broke USA

Interesting thing to say the week the billionaire-owned Supreme Court destroyed what was left of the Voting Rights Act.

For all the psychology and self help talk there is little discussion of how abusive it is to tell someone you witnessed them being harmed, did nothing, benefited from said harm, came to them for absolution, and are no using that privilege to judge them It’s gross and abusive and tiresome

Predictably, The Free Press comes out in support of scientific censorship by government bureaucrats.

⚖️ Jack Smith: "We have a Department of Justice today that targets people for criminal prosecution simply because the president doesn’t like them.. fails to move on cases because they might uncover facts inconvenient to narratives the president would like to press" 1/3 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/u...

I can't find a logical argument with this.

Can't help but think that if Trump's adjudicated rapist status and the thousands of MAGA sex crimes against kids that we knew about at the time were news during the election between the prosecutor and the pedophile, we wouldn't have 77 million people saying "I didn't vote for this!" today.
