The fact that we've put iPads in schools is horrifying enough. But replacing actual teaching with AI games is actually insane. Ed tech is an oxymoron. It's worse than pencil and paper learning. We need to get all screens out of schools. nymag.com/intelligence...

Leftists are absolute fucking morons, and the worst thing you can do is pretend they deserve an ounce of respect

What Would Jesus Do On Crime?

The fact that US conservatives idolized Hungary—maybe the poorest, most corrupt country in Europe—all because its conservatives were willing to massively abuse their power, even as they flirted with anti-Semitism & became Russia’s vassal, is the best explanation for Trump.

The fact that our vice president took time off from the disastrous war we just started to go campaign for the aspiring tin pot dictator of a country that couldn’t be more unimportant might be the most pathetic thing about a completely pathetic administration.

Orban loses, democracy wins, and, most importantly, the global forces of diet fascism are in retreat. The EU will now be more united in standing up to Putin and helping Ukraine. And the Trump administration’s losing streak continues. A good day for good people.

The same leftists who told people not to vote for Democrats in 2024 are now wondering why Democrats aren’t stopping Trump from doing the things Democrats warned he would do if he won. It’s because they don’t have the votes, you morons!

“If I have to choose between war crimes and being kind to a minority group, I choose war crimes” is some literal Nazi shit. Just the absolute slime of humanity.

The fact that markets keep getting played by the world’s dumbest con man is so humiliating. Traders are terrified of getting on the wrong side of a TACO trade but haven’t been able to figure out that there’s a difference btw backing out of a trade war & an actual war where the other side has a say.

“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear"

Bari Weiss wishes that the Free Press had the same ratings as CBS News *monkey's paw curls*

Trump voters really thought he'd bring down prices, keep us out of wars in the Middle East, and crack down on pedophiles. It'd almost be funny if the results weren't, well, you know.

Creating AI agents is inherently dangerous. As Geoffrey Hinton has pointed out, AI agents give themselves subgoals to achieve their key goal & a good subgoal will always be acquiring more power/compute. Today, that means mining crypto. One day, it could mean killing all humans.

Real war, trade war, job loss, financial fears, spiking energy costs ... the reality of Trump II has almost been worse than what the most pessimistic people thought it would be. And this is just from today! There's also the ethnic cleansing and blackmail of law firms and universities.

Republicans are calling the Iran War a "mission" just like Putin calls the Ukraine War a "special military operation"

The Middle East - famously a geopolitics-free zone.

It turns out the guy who named his show after a genocidal government also has terrible opinions about the Jews. I did Nazi that coming.

The most important thing to understand about Republicans is that they are absolute morons who no matter how much you disrespect them, deserve to be disrespected more

When you know you’re the baddies but are too cowardly to admit it

The same people who fell for Tulsi and Fetterman are sure that the guy with the Nazi tattoo who quote-tweets Nazis is really good because he uses the word “oligarchy” (just don’t ask him which religion makes up the oligarchy…)

Seems bad that the Vice President has said this Nazi is one of his influences. Maybe political reporters should, um, report on it?

You know what they called people who felt really bad for the Jews but voted with the Nazis 100% of the time? Nazis. They called them Nazis.

Democrats should offer to name every toilet in the Capitol after Trump … then actually do it in 2029

I mean, the Nazis were pretty famous for burning books. I don’t know why it’s surprising that Republicans don’t read either.

If you didn’t know that he’s an insane racist, you’d think that Stephen Miller was proudly describing the best thing about America

The Trump regime is made up of two types of people: 1) People in the Epstein files (Trump, Elon, Lutnick) 2) Nazi incels (Vance, Miller)

If you can read, you can be a federal prosecutor. And if you can’t … you still can be as long as you have some Nazi tattoos

So you’re telling me that the guy who wears a Nazi jacket and has been leading a campaign of ethnic cleansing might also be an anti-Semite. It’s always the ones you most suspect.

Trump is arresting journalists, his secret police are asserting the power to arrest people without warrants, and they are using facial recognition to create a database of dissidents. These are all stories from just today. If you can’t see that Trump is a fascist, you can’t see anything.

What you can expect from Warsh as Fed Chair -More emphasis on what suits POTUS if it's a Republican -Sudden concerns about inflation and fiscal deficits the moment it's not an R in the WH. Don't expect the Fed to be a good-faith broker if govt is divided in the next crisis

Back in 2017, I explained what a disastrous pick Kevin Warsh would be as Fed Chair. He was perhaps the worst & most wrong Fed Governor we’ve ever had when he was there during the financial crisis, & learned nothing from it either. Somehow, Warsh returned. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp...

The characteristics that make a good Fed Chair — honesty, integrity, objectivity, humility, being a sharp reader of the data, collaboration, transparency, thoughtful communication — are all things Trump doesn’t like.

“We’ll keep murdering you if you keep calling us murderers, so you need to tone down the rhetoric” is the position of the supposedly less extreme ICE leader.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Taxpayers have a right to know whose salary we are paying. ICE can either wear masks or they can get paid, but it can’t be both.

Everyone in the Trump administration is such a fucking monster. Just the absolute scum of humanity. www.cnn.com/2026/01/28/e...

Bari is about to to do to CBS News what Bezos did to the Washington Post: alienating your slightly left-of-center audience in search of a right-wing audience that either does not exist (for written media) or won’t watch you (for video media) because it prefers insane slopaganda

Take the ICE money and put it into healthcare

If everyone at the Washington Post promised to get truly terrifying amounts of plastic surgery, do you think Jeff Bezos would spend money on it again, or would they have to pretend his jokes are funny too?

The administration’s reaction to the ICE murders has been so brazenly dishonest, so callously unfeeling, and just so plain evil that it makes talking about the price of eggs—or anything else for that matter—seem insane, if not sociopathic. People are justifiably outraged! Show them you are too!

How dumb do you have to be to be a Jewish Nazi? This dumb

Katie Miller thinks people who believe in the rights the Constitution guarantees us are biased against Republicans. So we agree … I just didn’t expect her to admit it

Everyday Americans, in the face of deadly violence, have shown the kind of courage that past generations of patriots would have been proud of, the kind that elites have conspicuously lacked, and in the process forced the fascists to retreat. The war isn’t over, but it was an important battle.

I’ve never been more happy that someone is going to spend more time with their SS memorabilia collection

MAGA has always been a coalition of the evil and the stupid. But now MAGA is being so evil that even the stupid are noticing how bad things are. That’s what nonviolent resistance does: it makes the ugly truth unavoidable for people who’d prefer not to see.

As a parent, one thing I’ve come to believe much more strongly than before is that our culture puts waaay too much emphasis on the idea that bad guys are simply misunderstood or aren’t completely bad. No. Evil exists, and there’s no excuse for it. It can’t be reasoned with. It can only be defeated.

These are evil people who must be defeated so civilization can endure, just like the Nazis or the Imperial Japanese

This Professional Moron, who has devoted his life to denying the obvious fact that Trump is an aspiring fascist, actually tweeted this after Alex Pretti’s execution today

I will walk over hot coals to vote for whoever promises to make sure all of these Nazis die in prison.

In somewhat lighter news, I think Niall Ferguson might have just said the dumbest thing in the history of language
