Hell yeah

I do not understand this tendency among journalists to reduce every political event to a prediction about whether it will be a lasting news cycle. On the merits, we have a billionaire who helped a fascist get into power and now believes he can dictate policy. That matters! A lot!

I posted awhile ago that we were heading for a new COINTELPRO. It’s obviously not the same but it’s kind of instructive in how it might play out. Instead of federal agencies directly surveilling people, they’re compelling (or encouraging) other groups to do it for them.

You can tell my kids grew up in a family where their parents worked in food service when they randomly shout CORNER when they’re coming around a corner. 😂

My mom who is in her 70s and pretty moderate said something to that effect the other day… WE EVEN HAVE THE BOOMER VOTE FOR AOC.

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Also, nb4 trump has a lawyer swear up and down that he's not in the files while still refusing to provide unfettered access to the files.

1. That is the least shocking thing of the year. 2. Imagine knowing that and not sharing it until you get into public spat. 3. GOTO 1

It feels like decades since he weaponized disinformation about CRT being taught in elementary school and I had to spend way too much time explaining why that doesn’t even make sense to family members. www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

Rufo like every couple months is like “hey everyone I have no core principles except racism and self-aggrandizement and I lie about everything” and then there are 12 NY Times profiles of him as a bold intellectual

Lol. LMAO.

Oldie but a goodie

The fact of the matter is that we would not accept any of these incidents if it was done by U.S. forces. When blackwater killed Iraqi civilians it was a national outrage. This occurs weekly in Gaza and the West Bank and it’s met with indifference to what our military aid is supporting.

Masked men with guns trying to kidnap people using large unmarked white vans with no license plates seems incredibly illegal to me!

It’s so great seeing all the Blues Brothers references on this site right now… my buddy and I used to busk for coffee money in high school and a lot of our songs came from “Briefcase Full of Blues.”

This shouldn’t be controversial. We should literally all agree on this.

War crimes should be universally condemned, and those found guilty of them should be prosecuted.

lol. Yes, and Saving for Later, is ✨progress✨

The russian command staff is having a bad morning. Lol. Lmao.

I think AI derived work (especially software) is going to end up being a liability for decades to come. Once the caselaw catches up, M&A DD is going to include a lot of questions about coding provenance, kind of like OSS licensing in the 2010s.

Very few feelings as good as locking your physical security down as hard as your logical security.

You have to be willing to buy just about anything if you think the Admin cares about antisemitism.

Duffy should really just come out and say that he’s too scared to take the train.

There have been young douchebros around my entire life. It’s just that until recently there wasn’t an industry telling them that they were entitled to be douchebros without anyone calling them douchebros.
