Honestly, just let the Marxist bros have their highfalutin debates about Settler Colonialism. Give them some Capital Vol. III and snacks and they'll keep themselves busy.

Though AI helps, does it dull us over time? A study from MIT found that regular ChatGPT use weakens memory, focus, and brain activity. 83% couldn't quote their own text. Essays became repetitive. Researchers call it "cognitive debt"—a slow erosion of independent thinking. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.08872

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

Theory: the new masked ICE raid and patrol teams are made up of Pr0ud Boys and 0ath Keepers. To be willing and ready to use these tactics we see takes preexisting dedication, goals, and vision.

I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

I've seen the same. I was discussing the content and breadth of DEI programs with a student - a bright, inquisitive student interested in social justice. Even THEY thought DEI meant "giving jobs to less-qualified POC over white people." They HAD NO IDEA this is a lie. The BASICS.

Don't look away, don't normalize: this is the virtually unconstrained leader of the world's most powerful country ambushing the president of South Africa with conspiracy-fueled racist propaganda promoted by his unelected billionaire maybe-appointee who has caused the deaths of children through DOGE.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.
