At some point soon all Democratic Senators need to learn that “nuanced” decisions are not going to work anymore. They are destroying the government and your “compromise” is just a surrender. Some seem to get it but too many are clinging to a fantasy.

Trump says he wants to investigate Springsteen, Oprah, & Beyoncé for endorsing Kamala Harris and the straightforward interpretation is the correct one: he's using fear of investigation and legal entanglement to deter celebrities from speaking out against him. That's autocratic thuggery.

Do media executives realize that their message to politicians is "if you act to correct things we say are bad, we'll denounce you for that same thing more, but if you want us to let the bad thing go, you should double down on it, lie about it, attack us, and threaten us with frivolous lawsuits"?

Joining a weird programmer cult. They know how to manipulate a small number of machines that are created specifically to be manipulated by commands that can be learned and googled so they probably have a line on ultimate truths

'But that's fascism!' 'Not exactly.' 'This is impoundment!' 'Not exactly.' 'Those are emoluments!' 'Not exactly.' 'It's corruption!' 'Not exactly.' 'That's a bill of attainder!' 'Not exactly.' 'These are secret police!' 'Not exactly.'

When it's not a Republican, corruption means meeting someone on a tarmac or voting by mail or what email servers they use. When it's a Republican, the meaning of corruption is elusive and ethereal, a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma. Who can really truly know what it means to be corrupt?

It's only corruption if monied interests give valuable gifts to public officeholders in the Corruption* region of France. Otherwise it's sparkling conflict of interest. Get it right, you ignorant masses, your betters are speaking. *I looked up "corruption" in French for this. It's "la corruption."

MSNBC: Understand this clearly: when Stephen Miller says they’re looking at ways to suspend habeas corpus, they’re talking about depriving each of us of the right to challenge the legality of our detention by the government.

When dictators such as Saddam Hussein laughably claimed to have 99% support, they remembered to remove "based on attendees at the Saddam is Great conference" logo from the graphic before publicizing.

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers

The Constitution forbids bribery 3 separate times. So important to the Founders they included two emoluments clauses, and made it the only named impeachable offense besides treason. The Constitution is clear on banning bribery. It's just that Congress and the courts decided to pretend otherwise.

One reason for skepticism towards AI hype is many of the same people insisted the Metaverse was definitely the future and you're dumb if you didn't get that, and before that insisted NFTs were definitely the future and you're dumb if you didn't get that. LLMS seem to have more use cases, but still.

Alarmists were largely right about Trump, anti-alarmists badly wrong, some sorta admit it, but @polphilpod.bsky.social is unimpressed. "None could hide their contempt for the alarmists, even in their big ‘my bad’ moments... All of them seemed unable to say what they got wrong." @liberalcurrents.com
