It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

Rewatching Andor and Genevieve O'Reilly's monologue where she gradually reveals herself to her liberal banker college buddy is just flawless. My man is scoffing, thinking his "In this house" yard sign is gonna turn her off. "Or perhaps you find my politics a bit strong for your tastes?" 👩‍🍳 🤌

An Amazon worker, Leony Salcedo-Chevalier, was killed at the JFK8 distribution center in Staten Island this week--run over by a reversing box truck. This is why the teamsters and ALU are fighting for a contract--to stop this. This is why Amazon is fighting them--to keep work at a deadly speed.

I think it is fairly obvious that the visa revocations are the result of some kid feeding (incredibly sensitive) immigration info into Grok (or whatever) and asking "who's a criminal" because half of it is wrong and half is for fender benders or landlord disputes or whatever

Huge shoutout to EPI for updating the phrasing here. Not only is there inherent value in being precisely correct, it also leads to better analysis on potential solutions.

The word, unconfirmed but likely: targeted students were flagged by AI bots trawling law enforcement and immigration databases for signs of past legal infractions, however small. In sone cases, the bots appear to be making the same mistakes AI often makes — confusing names, hallucinating, etc.

One of the sources of rot running through our political, intellectual, and media institutions is the total triumph of the idea that democracy means outsourcing your morality and point of view to a fuzzily incoherent view of what's popular. Total rejection of the idea of morality as personal virtue.
