Here's how the New Yorker is viewing it:

Who knew Sam Cooke's "Working on a Chain Gang" could be transformed into a "country song" by running through a LLM to make it about MAGA white boys feeling semantically victimized by "woke"?

You make it sound like corporations aren't people

apropos of nothing I am reposting this photo of young chuck schumer attending roy cohn's birthday party in 1979.

Watch this. I mean it. Watch it Need to feed your kids? Fine do that first. But the bathroom? Hold it. Watch this first Jennifer Moriarty describes being thrown in a Border Patrol vehicle & spending hours driven around by, per Daniel Biss, the Keystone Kops danielbiss.substack.com/p/daniel-bis...

DELICIOUS!

Over the years I have read A LOT of damning stories about what Meta executives were saying internally about serious harms on their platforms (most of them written by Reuters’ @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social ). His new story is a blockbuster: www.reuters.com/investigatio... sherwood.news/tech/meta-pr...

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

Who is funding the Epstein Memorial Ballroom? HIS FORMER CLIENTS!

It is legit the case that the ballroom is partially funded by Palantir, so Peter Thiel, who DID fund Epstein. Also, Microsoft, so Bill Gates.

This is not a repost.

The nine most terrifying words in the English language: “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here.” (I'm assuming Halligan also can't count.)

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

WaPo heading: "Putin shows skill in influencing U.S. president" No strings attached?

Eery to see that Pam "Junk" Bondi gets a pass from the media for her staged attack dog refusal to answer oversight questions. She's the fucking AG, invoking the Fifth Amendment without mentioning it.

Epstein was Trump's beard.

Powerful speech that everyone should give a few moments towards listening.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

"Legal experts, however, have warned that the attacks appear to violate international law, which largely prohibits extrajudicial killings outside of combat." experts warned... appear to violate... largely prohibits... international law protects those it does not bind; binds those does not protect

In clownville, the ashtray owns you.

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

I can't help but think that Charlie Kirk would be so proud of the Gleichschaltung being enacted to honor his memory.

Apropos of nothing, in 1934 the Times wrote about ‘Gleichschaltung’, the process by the newly empowered Nazi government to bring all aspects of German society under their control.

Well, if there were any people left who experienced Germany in the early 1930, they'd tell you that this thing used to be called Gleichschaltung.

The Nazi term Gleichschaltung was the process of Nazification by which Hitler established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichs...

Following their rise to power in 1933, the Nazis systematically took control of the German press and transformed it into a vast propaganda machine through a process known as Gleichschaltung ("coordination"). By 1941, the Nazis' publishing house controlled over 80% of newspapers.

Gleichschaltung is a word that refers to the "co-ordination" of institutions and individuals to the Nazi regime. It would be wise to learn the word and use it to talk about what is happening now in the United States.
