it's remarkable that this is so naturalized. that mamdani immediately needs to account for anti-semitism before he could move forward. the insistence of this urgent juxtaposition is obscenely racist and insulting.

"He'd turned to ChatGPT...for assistance with a permaculture & construction project; soon...he became engulfed in messianic delusions, proclaiming that he had somehow brought forth a sentient AI, and that with it he had 'broken' math and physics, embarking on a grandiose mission to save the world."

Please help!! Elon needs another $2 billion to support the women he inseminates in his quest to populate the Earth with fascists. Bill Ackman wants to have another wedding bigger than Jeff Bezos’ but doesn’t want to sell off one of his houses to afford it.

Billionaires are supervillains & if we’re not going to launch them into the sun we should at least tax the hell out of them

oh my gd, this naked gun poster

Here's a paper we published last year on consumer resistance to sociotechnical transitions under neoliberalism. It's qualitative work on the cashless society context, but our conclusions generalize to AI as well. doi.org/10.1086/731912

There are 500K Haitians who are looking for work...

meanwhile in germany, the racists of every political flavor (fascists, fascists with bavarian accent, and centrists who will do everything for power) just voted to separate families of refugees and asylum seekers by no longer allowing family reunification immigration.

This is so cool

The hottest stream I ever saw

One of the things that shills for the "super-rich" are absolutely, professionally, incapable of addressing is that being "super-rich" makes you dangerously, unaccountably, powerful, and that is bad in itself and should be stopped.

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

🎉

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

Rather than compromise with progressives, who want to tax billionaires and make sure everybody has food and a place to live, D centrists compromised with white supremacists, who want to destroy a post civil war post Jim Crow US and resurrect the confederacy.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism. It's a lie.

One of those lies that's so foundational, the press never questions it, while things that actually pay for themselves—like food stamps—are hounded with demands that they be "paid for!"

The whole lie ecosystem about what "pays for itself" is how we have the most expensive health care system in the world while being the only rich country on earth where being uninsured is a thing.

Nothing says "flawless and effective" like misspelling "effective."

“I feel like people mistook my 250k for enthusiasm” is something I’ve often found myself saying out loud
