Obama is the lynchpin of neoliberal failure: - no bankers went to jail for the financial crisis - no punishment for Bush era crimes including torture - no reigning in open market manipulation and illegal activity of tech disruptors like Uber - refused to reform the filibuster - drone wars expanded

since nothing else interesting is happening on here at this time, let's talk about one of my favorite sporting events of all time: Georgia Tech football versus Cumberland, October 7, 1916 the worst beatdown in the history of American sports

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

ROW THE AIRBOAT

it genuinely sucks so much in this country how often you only learn about a super fucking cool person because something horrifying has happened to them

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

They moved a historic house in downtown Erie today from one street to another, and the timelapse from Erie News is so cool. Despite rain, it took about seven hours.

Olamide Zaccheaus went for the jumping celebration with DJ Moore who didn't see him 😭🤣

it’s funny how deep the american exceptionalism brainwashing goes. i know better. i’ve known better for years. i’ve breathed gas clouds just like this one. and yet every time i see pictures like this, i want so badly to say “i can’t believe this is america.” but i won’t. because i know better.

apparently Cam Skattebo is just always like this

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Sometimes, you end up living in the world you worked so hard to create. And in that world, the bullets are flying

while smiling! Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world. Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate; Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

JD Pritzker is one of like five Democrats who knows what time it is and no Newsom is not one of those five. Newsom is attempting to become the Trump of the center-right. Pritzker is ready to go to war

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

They believed no big news would happen, because Nick Castellanos hadn't hit a home run in a while. But they were all of them deceived, for another Castellanos was made

One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.

totally lost my focus on sandwiches this week, so i wrote up a comprehensive list of theories about how and why ten broadswords were stolen from my house and possible sequelae incl. a clifftop duel with a beautiful thief buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Whenever these LLM guys say they think AGI/artificial superintelligence is in the works it's like hearing someone say that their next toaster is going to break the land speed record

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!
