Finally! (By Stephen Collins)

“Should we put the Nazi there?” “Nah man but what about the cute little lady? She seems dangerous.”

You may have seen this "MIT study" that allegedly (it really doesn't) claims that 11.7% of the US Workforce can be made obsolete with AI. While it doesn't say that, it's still horseshit. If you want to know why, I've written a short comment.

The state of economic debate 2025

Calling it now: as we learn more about the "Chinese hacking campaign" that Anthropic reportedly stopped, we will learn that a) the extent is inflated in the report b) the state-sponsored will turn out to be a very generous interpretation of the facts

I don't think we can act anymore as if we could criticise media in a vacuum - in order to save critical journalism, we will have to stick up even for fuck ups. I have written a little piece where I try to make a case for this.

POV: you are sitting in on the White House Antifa briefing

Nachdem letzte Woche die WELT ihren KI Kongress in Berlin abhielt und ich das zweifelhafte Vergnügen hatte, mir ein paar der zugehörigen Videos auf Welt-TV angesehen zu haben, wollte ich das Ganze nicht vollständig unkommentiert lassen.

Friendly reminder how things have been going at the DOJ.

As several countries are debating designating Antifa as a terrorist organization in the wake of the murder of Charlie Kirk, I felt compelled to write a love letter to Antifa and every other antifascist out there. Bring it, you cowards. We won't back down.

welcome to The Resistance, *checks notes* *sighs* *weeps gently* ...michael eisner

Emil Bisttram ~ 1895 - 1976 The Young Moon - 1928 Watercolour on paper.

As Peter Thiel holds his secretive lectures on the Antichrist, I thought I might expand a little on the notion of belief and faith in psychoanalysis. I think it’s a little too easy to fall into the trap of mistaking religious people for being delusional.

How it started / How it‘s going

The US-Right is compiling and publishing lists of its political enemies and starting the “largest firing operation in history”. I have done a few things one definitely should not do in response to this, as they might be considered sabotage - and we are totally above that, aren’t we?

DOCTOR JONES, REAL MATURE. Is zis how you talk to everyone you disagree with?

Please shove this clip down the throat of the empathy for Charlie Kirk crowd.

All hail the Amphora! All our money for the Amphora! (If you do not follow @edzitron.com , do it NOW)

Paul Crenshaw, who doesn’t use AI, offers some prompts that you might want to use if you have to use it to begin with.

So Social Media Companies are being pressured to put lifetime bans on users that joke about Kirk. Immigrants are being threatened to get their Visa revoked if they make light of the murder. Scary dudes getting out their big boy pants because they are super untriggered I see.

„What the fuck is wrong with you people? How is it that now, in our hour of pain, when ItIsOkWhenPeoplegetShot-Man got shot, OUT OF NOWHERE, you laugh? What has ItIsOkWhenPeoplegetShot-Man ever done to deserve this? He lived a decent, a good life, he was a father and yet you act as this were ok?“

I know everyone and their pet monkey already said something about Charlie Kirk. But please, for the love of god, stop acting as if this was the start of a new fascism. We have long passed that line. It's an expression of fear and it empowers the right without the slightest need to do so.

BlueAnon be like: „Charlie Kirk was an inside Job!“ TO DO WHAT? To threaten American cities with the military? To ignore the law? To round up citizens? To bypass due process? To bring the bootlickers in the business caste to heel? FOR FUCKS SAKE PEOPLE

@eastcoastitnotes.bsky.social once again being civil and fondly remembering septic tank man

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at [email protected] if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

This is so incomprehensibly stupid that I cannot even begin to explain to you how stupid it is.

You almost certainly heard about Trump laying off the BLS chief - you may not have heard about the end to two space missions that happened simultaneously. I decided to write a little farewell to the Orbital Carbon Observatories that provided us with invaluable Carbon data.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Actually thats free speech!

I cannot for the life of me remember where this endnote is from but I love it to bits.

Venceremos.

English Version of part 2 of the Immiseration Article is now online. After having talked about Politics in part 1, part 2 will try to show how not every so-called improvement of the economy necessarily leads to better outcomes for everyone, specifically by looking at AI and Crypto.

Teil 2 des Verelendungsartikels mit Fokus auf AI und Crypto als zwei von unzähligen Beispielen dafür, weshalb es sich bei der Idee, dass eine expandierende Wirtschaft allen zu Gute käme um nichts anderes als Propaganda handelt.

Same picture.

Once again Greg Gutfeld is having the normalest of days

Guys guys I have an idea, things have been looking pretty bleak recently, so how about we release 100mph killing machines into schools to strike a little hope into people?

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter

NPR had a quick, upbeat mention about how farmwork could function as healthcare with people "prescribed" to do it and it feels maddening that a significant swath of elite opinion seems to be trying to soft relaunch serfdom.

Damn, maybe Trump shouldn’t have cut the Sesame Street funding.

Hahaha, damn.

Since we're currently being not only flooded with but rather drowned in shit, I have decided to write a short primer on Immiseration and how the entire point of this is to instill hopelessness. But we will stick together and we will win. Fuck these cowards.

Meanwhile, deep under Washington DC.

WaPo: Immigrants may be deported to a third country with as little as six hours notice.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Hey Gang: New tools dropped. icelist.is icespy.org Directories to hold ICE agents accountable via Facial Recognition and classic data collection. Spread widely.

The Right trying to figure out who keeps fucking all these kids and crashing the economy, 2025, colorized
