Yet somehow this obvious fact escapes the gaze of the American press

The Rich benefit way more from: - the infrastructure - stability - military - the existence of a country than the average citizen. Why should they pay the tax at the same % as the average citizen? 95% tax on highest earners.

Another leftist political take proven right over the liberal political take.

Claude: I fixed your code! Also Claude: *strategically omits 2,000 lines where all your actual problems are*

Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.

if you can look at what the US did to the kurds and still find a way to trust the US you are a fucking moron

Here's how some politicians spent their weekends in the backdrop of fascism: ✊ Jill Stein organized "Fight The Rich" conference together with Workers Strike Back 💪 Bernie Sanders launched nationwide anti-oligarchy tour ✨ Kamala Harris signed up for Hollywood talent agency

I might switch from Claude back to OpenAI tooling. Claude served me well but Anthropic is falling behind. - April 2024 cutoff date on info - Great at coding, but reasoning models caught up at this point - Too limited token count in Sonnet - And minor stuff like lacking image/TTS/video gen etc

I had Influenza A for the past 10 days and it absolutely wrecked havoc in my household. 41°C fever, coughing blood, migraines, vomiting - we had it all. Is this year's flu strain on some sort of steroids or are our immunities completely f*cked since COVID?

Breaking News | An Israeli sniper has shot and killed a 15-year old child in central Gaza's Al-Buraij Camp. The boy was reportedly trying to inspect his family home in an area from which the Israeli military recently withdrew.

the neoliberal era is *obviously* over and has been for a minute. you can stop calling things "the ultimate in internalization of the neoliberal order" or whatever now.

I love how every conservative argument at any point someone moved the Overton Window further right in the last 40 years is: "No matter what you think of the [insane policy or person], you should all agree that [an even insaner policy or person] is normal"

As pathetic as Elon is, and as depressing as this sounds for the US, this isn't unprecedented. The tide will turn. Sooner than you think. Tesla sales, Trump's dumbass crypto tokens' prices should give you an idea how popular they are. But more importantly, history tells us conservatism never works.
