The thing is…we were already defunding the humanities (for DECADES), not supporting contingent faculty, union-busting graduate students, & pushing a scarcity model & competition rather than collaboration in our universities: we fervently tilled & fertilized a plot for the weeds of the AI tech bros.

If a liberal president governed this way — arresting right-leaning writers from abroad, attacking conservative institutions and threatening their tax-exemptions, trying to force adherence with liberal cultural values — people would be dead already.

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003. Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

New from 404 Media: we've seen an ICE database that filters people by hundreds of different, highly specific categories. Experts say possibly helping ICE identify and deport people. Scars, location data, immigration status, eye color, much more. Created by Palantir www.404media.co/inside-a-pow...

Bullies need off-ramps. Bessent found a way to get Trump to back down without making him feel like he's backing down. Trump gets to act like this was always the plan and doesn't lose face on China. Never mind that the real cost of getting here may have been an irredeemable hit to US credibility.

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

You can't have this without the political system falling apart. One way or another this breaks the social contract. (Alternatively, of course you could have made it so material security and dignity are available outside of homeownership but that's not what happened.)

What's up with the new move to consumer activism? Is it just the vulgar power instinct of a society that has completely forgotten worker power at the point of production? Does it speak to the whole social sphere taking place in sites of commerce?

"People think TikTok is rotting kids' brains, but they said the same thing about TV for us." Yes, and they were right! We were fed borderline-gibberish TV shows that existed solely to sell us toys! Have you ever tried to sit down and watch an episode of GI Joe or He-Man?

Andrew Cuomo pocketed $5 million for a book written by his New York State taxpayer-funded staff, on government time. When the state ethics board started investigating, he tried to shut it down. New Yorkers deserve better than another corrupt politician.
