It’s really hard to take seriously any effort to normalize the parts of AI that might be useful when it’s being used as a cudgel by corrupt fascists to destroy art, science, healthcare, the indigent, and the macroeconomy. How can we accept the “good” parts of a system when we see what it’s used for?

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

one of the weird running things is how much of the discourse around "young men" has to completely avoid this dynamic in order to make the question more neutral and less uncomfortable

We want to celebrate the South's heritage! Oh, you mean the terrific music? No, not that. The great food? Uh, no. The literature? The art? No, none of that. Just the treason and white supremacy. Just the treason and white supremacy? Yep, just the treason and white supremacy. You know, "heritage."

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

Federal spending is up under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

Reminder that Congress could, at any time, pass legislation canceling these tariffs and then vote to override a veto. As prices rise and your 401(k) falls, don't let lawmakers get away with acting like powerless observers of the onslaught. Together they can kill it if they want.
