I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

this shit is just beyond parody, man

I wrote about why you absolutely do not have to hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene, and posed a few basic questions that her interlocutors ought to be asking her, like: who won the 2020 election?

"Siden sin anholdelse og hjemsendelse i 2021 fra PET har Jesper Kristensen arbejdet som bud på et apotek, hvorfra han kører medicin ud til plejehjem, beskyttede boliger og ældre medborgere i eget hjem." God detalje i @politiken.dk om whistlebloweren i Samsam-sagen. politiken.dk/danmark/art1...

Incredibly inspiring. Brian Eno is not only one of the most important figures in modern music, he is also extremely knowledgeable about art and life. And Ezra is able to bring out the best in him.

This is really interesting. Some people in the thread make the point that photo ops are a special occasion and people would dress up, but I have seen tons of photos of long-past relatives, and the impression is the same: They dressed better.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

I've long viewed Taylor Swift as the Bruce Springsteen of her generation - a storyteller and a poet of a certain emotional landscape - and here John McWhorter is thinking along the same lines, and writing it a lot better than I could: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/o...

I asked Mistral for introductions to geopolitics and it recommended me Aleksandr Dugin without mentioning his name, his extreme conservatism or his reprenhensive views on Russian imperialism and the attack on Ukraine. Like recommending "Mein Kampf" as an introduction to nazism. #truestory #ai

Exclusive: The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History removed references to President Trump’s two impeachments from an exhibit — an apparent change to its plans to update its collection of artifacts about the historic U.S. proceedings.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Apparently letting a country that gave up nukes be invaded will lead other countries to decide they better have nukes cos they won't believe your promises that they don't need nukes. Who could ever have guessed?

This is — and I cannot stress this enough — a real government website right now. It is hosted on the Department of Commerce website (the Department of Commerce has no immigration functions whatsoever that I am aware of).

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

Interessant udvikling. Hvad er den nemmeste måde at gøre dette på, hvis man pt er temmelig sammensmeltet med Apple? politiken.dk/viden/tech/a...

Just a reminder--it was 13 days ago that Donald Trump said he needed two weeks to decide whether to push for harder sanctions on Russia. When he, inevitably, fails to do so--can we have a retraction published for every story/commentary that took his BS on this seriously?

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Excellent question. The answer, sadly, is that Trump doesn’t give a damn about what’s best for America.

“You say it like it’s a bad thing.”

I spent five weeks talking to federal workers about knowledge loss and brain drain across the federal government, and its implications, both right now and for decades to come. Their stories are frightening, but I think it's important to know what we're facing: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not for the first time, I’m struck by the fact that if the perspectives in Haaretz were those of foreign students at U.S. universities, the Secretary of State would lock them up and try to deport them. www.haaretz.com/opinion/edit...

All of These Statements are true The World is bad The World is much better than before The World could be much better than now --> We can be happy about what humanity has achieved so far --> We must not stop to continue improving it

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly—now and, even more importantly, when he and his accomplices are finally out of power.

Så skete det som Microsoft og andre havde lovet ikke ville ske. Trump kan ikke li ICC, så han har beordret MS til at lukke dele af deres IT ned. MS har lukket trods løfte om det modsatte. Hvad mon sker når Trump vil sætte ind mod Danmark for at få Grønland. #dkpol politiken.dk/viden/tech/a...

Okay this one is pretty hilarious. The US embassy apply with the Copenhagen municipality to renew their diplomatic license plates, but condition their own payment - for public services which, to stress the obvious, they critically need - on the municipality committing to anti-DEI. No dice.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Yeah, man do it, do it.

🧵 I've been reviewing many of the past year's US & European military & intelligence assessments of how long it would take Russia to rebuild its military capability and the timeline on which any threat to NATO could unfold. A brief thread below which summarises these assessments.
