Ill-using AI will cause massive enshittification. Used like this, it's a kipple-making device. What it will reveal - vanishingly few people were paying attention anyway.

"Biden’s belief was that the Trump moment was an aberration and that America could return to its liberal equilibrium if he governed normally...Biden’s theory of the case was shredded by events." www.thebulwark.com/p/joe-biden-...

It is emotionally exhausting to live through "times like these" for nearly my entire conscious life And then I think about folks born after 2000 and I'm like, Jesus, y'all only ever knew the world like this. I know that's been said so many times but I am really feeling it this morning.

It’s only getting much play in the trade/transport niche press. But pretty real product shortages beginning in mid-May or so are already locked in. They’re maybe a thousand miles out in the Pacific Ocean. Modern trade takes place in gargantuan container ships. There are very detailed records …

Dems increasingly look like Starmer’s Labor, and it’s stuff like this that makes you look weak. One day you say you have a communities back, the next you drop it. Voters see R’s as believing in something and D’s believing in nothing. That goes a long way, regardless of what the beliefs are.

The UK labour government is a total failure. People in finance talk about a 'flat position' where you're neither short nor long - you have no risk. There is no flat position in politics. People will hate at least as much for never saying anything as they will for saying something unpopular. So lead!

Market seems to be struggling at the moment to grasp the difference between forward and backward moving measures. Even accepting the reality that tech will be winners because they don't import/export a lot of hard product - Meta and Google are advertisers. Weak consumer will hit them eventually.

Japanese netizens are shocked by a tweet from the US Embassy declaring that Japanese people applying for non-immigrant visas must provide information on all social media accounts they have used in the last 5 years [or their visas could be rejected]. Some are comparing it to China & North Korea.

The unavoidable conclusion when you see otherwise intelligent people crumble like this - support for both Israel and human rights requires cognitive dissonance. Chotiner is just the media's leading cognitive dissonance spotter.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

If Vance is willing to break the NCAA trophy and whack the pope as a distraction, we're about two weeks of headlines away from JD dying on a polar expedition or being found reenacting Pickett's charge nude.

Incredible team play from JD to constantly pivot attention toward his own personal shortcomings rather than the administration's. Total self humiliation required. Unfortunate that the administration is so fucked that he literally had to kill the pope to steal Hegseth's spotlight.

Mad props to the Pope for living just long enough to spite JD Vance one last time. I hope I can do the same for my posting enemies.

A lot of people want money, power and recognition more than they want to look smart. They'll auction off an entire brain hemisphere to fit in with the right crowd. The other hemisphere is submerged in alcohol.

These people are posters - bad ones. And the surest way to spot a bad poster is they work out the joke is on them last. This guy is fucked.

i will remark again on this hallmark of maga politics, which is that trump embodies the organic will of the voters and this imbues him with sovereign power that cannot be checked or limited by any other institution in the society.

I don't think this American Nazism shit will work for two reasons: Trump is about to make everyone much poorer in a way he will take sole blame for, and His casual supporters don't want to live in history in the end any more than the rest of us. More optimistic about 1 than 2 though.

Lots of silly bullshit about the US and the Nazis in WW2 on the TL today. People having a very hard time accepting the world is complicated. It can be simultaneously true that Hitler hated US society and conceptualised the eastern front as an analogue to the American frontier.
