eventually someone in journalism will use AI in their work in a way that is legitimately impressive but by then the word will be so embarrassing that people are gonna have a whole set of euphemisms to avoid the connotation that they used AI to do the writing

Ds need to promise to stop any of these officers - or their raters or senior raters - from seeing a Senate confirmation ever. Not one of them. Destroy all their careers. Tommy Tuberville them. Otherwise, Hegsethās rot becomes an incurable cancer of the bone.

Hyperfixation of the week: there is apparently a field called āforensic hairdressingā where people try to reconstruct ancient hair techniques. Below is one from Ancient Rome ca. 120 AD. The leading figure is a hairstylist-turned-archaeologist named Janet Stephens who also does video tutorials. Cool!

None of this is a shock to those who witnessed their violently dragging people off the street. They were our neighbors: waiting for the bus, running errands, making a living. The lies peddled by this admin to perpetrate the harms of this brutal system onto them should never be forgotten or forgiven.

Honestly, the great crisis of our society is the unwillingness of institutions to inflict consequences. Impeach the president, fire the sex pests, expel cheating students, excommunicate an unrepentant heretic, prosecute the war criminals. Believe in your institution enough to enforce its rules.

The 12 year olds at the Pentagon had a cool new missile they wanted to use. It explodes a few feet above the ground & shoots out little tungsten pellets, killing everyone nearby. They used it to bomb a sports facility where girls were playing volleyball. Killed 21 people. In your name.

Skyway Lanes, Chicagoās Last Black-Owned Bowling Alley, Closing After 'Surge' Of Support Fades
A fundraiser to save the Far South Side bowling alley drew over $25,000 in donations, but that still wasn't enough for the second-generation owners to fix the alleyās financial problems.

Plausibly, this should (if it happens) be understood as the death of the federal Constitution Not just, to be clear, a mortal wound: imo that's already happened. The actual death. Such that it should no longer be understood to be in force

The US was a racial dictatorship until 1965 and a not small measure of US politics since then has been an attempt, or resistance against the attempt, to return us to being one

Mass marches and peaceful protests are great. They're an awesome way for broad masses of people to get involved, draw comfort and motivation from seeing how many other people feel the same way, and to meet & network with other organizers. By themselves, huge marches can be minimized and ignored. 1/

Every leader above O-3 in the 101st should be sent to be a gate guard at Kwajalein. Shameful shit. You need to get comfortable hating The Troops. A necessary step to reducing the rot.

I have an entirely different theory of mass protest, but I think actions like these serve an important confidence building role. Escalation requires people getting used to being on the street and knowing that thousands of other people have their back.
