If you plan to visit the US, don't. It is not safe to visit the US and you face being randomly detained, kidnapped, beaten, and / or killed by the regime. It's not worth the trip. Stay home.

It will disproportionately harm rural red states. Big states like CA, TX can subsidize broadband w/o fed funds. But who else but the feds will pay for broadband for KS, MO, and NE farmers? Those states will have to allow whatever harms Big Tech throws at them in order to get their people online.

I get annoyed at the narrative that all the awareness and work on climate change hasn't done anything. Yes, global CO₂ emissions indeed continue to climb, but we don't know the counterfactual. When I was in grad school, we were on track for 5°C of warming. Now it's below 3°C. That's progress.

Republicans want you to forget they’re ripping health care away from over 16 million people while Trump wages a new endless war against Iran. That’s Republican leadership for you.

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

How the F can the NY Times even ask this question in 2025? 86% of LGBTQ voters voted for Harris, up from 71% for Biden. After the hell Trump has unleashed since Jan, erasing queer from web sites, killing the suicide hotline, he's even more unpopular. Seriously? Nothing but clickbait bullshit.

So Miller attacked LA because Musk stole his wife and Trump is bombing Iran because no one came to his birthday party. Men are too emotional to lead.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

"The Tribune reported last year that the state’s wall program would take around 30 years and more than $20 billion to complete." Texas is a purple-to-blue state being robbed by its fascist government, Texans' school-building dollars stolen for one of the stupidest projects in the United States.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

For Trump, a military conflict with Iran would distract from: -Sinking poll numbers -A devastating (and unpopular) budget bill -Harmful trade wars -Unleashing the military on American soil -Millions of people protesting his authoritarianism We must remain on high alert.

Lots of commentary on this piece already, all of which I agree with. For historians, research is a fundamental part of writing. To farm it out to AI changes the nature of this intellectual process in fundamental ways. And as Stacy Schiff points out, it also takes all the fun out of it.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I just want 'ai' to go away. The simultaneous widespread poisoning of knowledge; attempt to end-run professions that cultivate critical thinking; and sucking the joy out of everything while ramming unwanted technology down our throats is so exhausting. I just can't anymore.
