Oliver North is on tv. Dick Cheney can be exhumed.

Biden-era oil budgeting that doesn't really reduce consumption but smoothes out the curve so as to minimize the number of pitchforks in the street? Yep you guessed it, also gay.

That title isn't given it's earned

Why are you asking me about the war you're killing the vibe

Congratulations to my brothers and sisters and nonbinary resisters at KU on their first union contract!!!! Huge wage increases for folks at the bottom, real job security, serious academic freedom protections. Life-changing stuff for workers, students and the state.

Union members at ACLU-DC have been fighting for close to 3 years for our first contract. This is unacceptable. We’re united in our demands for work-life balance, fair pay, and worker protections. Hear from our members firsthand on why we need a fair contract now. Union rights are civil rights.

Lord it is so nice to write for a magazine and actually get my prose edited

Tapping the sign

So is where I feel the need to remind folks that the selective service system still exists. But in practice, yeah. Super-lazy back-of-the-envelope, holding all of Iran might require c. 600,000 ground troops. (~3x our max Iraq deployment). But you also need rotations, so 2x or 3x that.

Ding ding ding ding (also New York, SF, Miami, Austin...)

Dawg if "working with working class people" means "employing them" then that's the whole dang senate. Nancy was working with working class people when she doordashed that dang ice cream

I held this post up to the light.

Salisbury University (Maryland's eastern shore) has a young republicans group that's bringing Jared Taylor, publisher of American Renaissance and one of the more important white supremacists of the 1990s and 2000s, to campus. The org seems to largely be the street team of one influencer.

The YouTube channel Milestones: A Miles Davis Archive does exactly what it says on the bottle btw. Now playing a 1966 concert with herbie et al at the oriental theater in Portland

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

Hey this is like the most serious oil guy i know and this is worse than i expected

80% of crypto is wash trading and that's how I'm starting to think about Trump 2.0. The whole admin is just making proclamations and smashing about to inflate the value of their holdings. Occasionally a policy entrepreneur like Miller aligns the market manipulation around war or ethnic cleansing.

More experiments on politicians imo

>let claude code fuck with production >no backups incredible.

benjamin netanyahu: kamala i just bombed iran. youre now at war with iran

Unfortunately, “Yo brother, legal team confirmed we can’t work with minors rn” is an instant classic

Anyway we know the economy has been in the toilet from the number of "upscale American comfort" restaurants serving fries with truffle aioli again

For a while there I thought the recession was gonna wait for a Democrat. Still kinda do but who knows what they'll throw on the fire after tariffs and oil crisis.

the LLMs can be defeated by POETRY, its only fair the ai can be defeated by ART

We better find out something about Markwayne or Lutnick fast because the first poly administration is in shambles rn

I have a new open access article in Geoforum, looking at how abrasive online “finfluencers” promise riches through buying cheap properties to rent to Housing Choice Voucher (“Section 8”) holders, using outdated spatial arbitrage strategies and AI automation: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Sorry snowflakes facts don't care about your feelings

Interesting interview study about AI in the labor process. Best possible atmosphere (well-paid, autonomous) still results in more work, not less, because AI helps you multitask, work during nonwork time, extend your capability into other people's turf (experts then need to clean up vibejobs)

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

Patty Henderson said "gender euphoria stim" and I thought that was really nice

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

This actually isn’t surprising in the slightest from an American POV. The only people trying to actually learn from this war are like Mike kofman, Rob Lee, 4 rando freelancers, and 7 people on here

Hang it in the louvre (and then block it for having the passport privilege to go to Paris)

i think they understand the bang-bang kind of war as a form of culture war, actually: A. they incoherently stagger from thing to thing - Venez. to Iran now, maybe Cuba B. the main focus is national regeneration through violence C. victory is when people post about how based the military is now

We should abolish the United States Senate. It serves no purpose.

I buy the "platner went skiing with Obama staffers" story for no other reason than he was at tune inn, which is where you work if you wanna hobnob with Da Boys, rather than a normal but equally degenerate bar like Tunnicliff's, which after 7 PM mostly just served other industry people

"You know, lady stuff" thanks Dave

Why oppose AI in this war when you could simply oppose this war.

That news about proton turning over payment information is why it makes no sense to spend every day yelling at people online about *digital security.*

The Chemical & Engineering News Guild has overwhelmingly won its union election, with 96% of participants voting in favor of unionization! @wbng.org @newsguild.org

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

Have they considered widespread electrification, loans and loan guarantees to solar and wind and nuclear projects, and somewhat robust vehicular mileage standards to compel more efficiency? Is *the exact model of the IRA* under the rock, or is it just one rock with “Drill Baby Drill” written on it?

Does Kristi have to return her government-funded extensions? Does a special envoy still have a wig budget???

Lucky to have theee @nancybaym.bsky.social revisiting her essay in the inaugural issue of Social Media + Society, and what's happened to the tech and to us since. It's Bad: What Now?

"Oh wow this looks great" Hey thanks stranger!
