People literally died from Covid while claiming it doesn’t exist. There is never going to be a wake up call for some people. A lot of people. It’s not about convincing them if they can’t be convinced. IMO it’s about overwhelming them entirely with opposition.

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

"Markets" remaining "upbeat" in the face of stagflation is what happens when the exchange value of stock in a company becomes completely decoupled from the company's productive value. Also known as a "bubble"

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I think the totally understandable negative polarization among people on the left towards AI has obscured for people just how shockingly advanced the tech is getting. The consumer facing image slop is laughable but DeepSeek’s research abilities are insane.

Remember when Elon threw a tantrum over a teenager tracking his private jet because it was "a security risk"? Adorable. Now he’s got access to your tax returns. But don’t worry—I’m sure his respect for privacy remains as steadfast as his commitment to free speech.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.
