I really wish someone with a nose ring would sharply tell Nate Silver that it’s important to talk as much as possible, so he would in reaction absolutely shut the fuck up forever

Noem leaves the hearing and is heckled as she departs the room

Yeah, that checks out

I think “speak to your fake dead relative” might be the most evil application of “AI” i’ve seen so far

Once again, the ads in the print edition of @theonion.com are worth the price alone

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.

The Supreme Court Has 0 credibility When a person like myself Can predict in advance What their decisions will be By imagining what a political and ideological extremist Would choose

“divisiveness” is becoming a little bit of a tell

When elites don't have to follow the law, there is no rule of law.

ACTIVIST JUDGES

The reason to require government approval of big mergers is to prevent market-distorting concentrations of corporate power that harm competition and consumers, not so the president can distort the market in favor of ideological allies and/or solicit a bribe for himself.

Yep. bsky.app/profile/pear...

The thing about Polis plugging Hanania is that Polis has always had that libertarian side that is problematic. I still maintain my thesis that libertarians are always "Go tread on them" under the hood.

And it is no surprise that Trump's paramont bashing over the MTG interview is coinciding with this deal trying to come over the top of Netflix. Trump gets to be the prettiest girl at the dance between Netflix and Paramont. Wonder if he wants a show.

He's just asking for another bribe.

I hate the racist Intelligentsia far more than the average local hick with a GED and so should you. No I don't have to listen to them because they're eloquent.

Anthony Kedis, whispers before his death rattle: "...minn...es..ota."

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

"Color revolution"

Roberts court gonna procrastinate on this one and then give Trump the power to appoint anyone to anything.

"device hoarding" is a phrase that would have made my grandparents become the Joker

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1716

My left-wing sensibilities when Weiss puts up Dershowitz as her token liberal voice.

Betraying Ukraine today to betray Taiwan tomorrow to waste ordnance on regime destabilization in Venezuela

childcare for instance is the second one. parents fund it out of pocket, meaning it's insanely expensive (bc of rising wages over time), but only for a couple years. it should instead be funded by everyone like K-12, spread the burden as wide as possible

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?” TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.” ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.

Hey @politico.com this sure seems like he isn't concerned with a trial.

The comparison isn’t perfect but I kind of think Olivia Nuzzi is to journalism what Jake Paul is to boxing. Influencer culture usurping institutions and turning outrage and negative engagement into maximum clicks and therefore value, plus it flatters elite interests

Me sending rfk jr a picture of a polio ward "niiice"

to have an affair with one longshot presidential candidate twice your age that you’re profiling may be regarded as a misfortune; to have two looks like carelessness

Exactly

A senior academic using mentoring as leverage to obtain sex is a contemptible abuser of power.

Thinking about how Summers and Epstein both frequently manipulated the media into giving or withholding coverage when they wanted and how the same media mysteriously decided to wage a scorched earth jihad against Harvard's President Claudine Gay. It's a strange coincidence to ponder!

dammit, those excerpts are fucking horrible and begging for Parody.

The thing about the Nuzzi performative "I fucked and loved a kennedy thing" that drives me the most crazy is that it feels like this is a watershed moment in journalism where you can do something unethical and still advance the fuck out of your career.

Pardon business is booming, huh

So he’s definitely gonna use the insurrection act before He’s gone.

Goddamn it is so much worse than people made it out to be. This is character fellatio for two very horrid people.

The best part is what all these AI guys are actually creating is a program that gets better and better and better at fooling people, which is unto itself very demon like.

I thought about the Easter Island collapse and the pursuit of AGI, and fuck man. They want to summon a djinn.

I love writing one single article over and over again every month

“i’m a Grok guy. It’s the only one that gives both sides (one side) of Rhodesian history.”

This is your regular reminder that most men who sexually abuse children do not meet the clinical definition of a pedophile. They simply want to abuse their power and no one is more vulnerable to abuse than a child.

One of the more upsetting things in this is that he wasn't blackmailing them: These men were part of this and protecting him not out of obligation or even particularly out of access, but out of solidarity.
