Nirvana is just around the corner, just trust the word of serial liars and some of the worst people on the planet.

one thing i absolutely do not understand is why the primary editorial position of the new york times is sneering contempt for customers of the new york times

We’re going to find out very soon if this guy is a made guy at the Times or not - will they roll out to talk about what a great reporter he is or let him twist in the wind. I’m betting on the latter.

I think at this point you gotta throw away the whole org. which is a bummer because we actually do need something that does what ADL used to do

The ADL's board needs to decide whether they want to return to the ADL's original mission, or continue with Greenblatt's strategy of being a branch office of Likud.

I say this from time to time but the Jewish population remaining is, broadly, 42% in America, 42% in Israel, and 16% in the rest of the world (mostly Europe). We cannot subordinate the pluralistic model of Jewish survival to the nationalistic one, but that’s what ADL stands for now.

a thing ICE agents should try to keep firmly in mind is that eventually everyone is going to know who is under the masks, and that’s going to be the first line in their obituaries

Likely in light of the situation in LA, ICE leadership just put out a pretty outrageous message to politicians: “I’m demanding they stop.” He specifically calls out Mayor Wu and Hakeem Jeffries.

the fun version of this is when you’re posting about some nerd shit and someone pops up in the comments like “actually I am a world renowned expert in this field and here’s how this works” easily the best thing that happens on social media

the feds have an incredible conviction rate in large part because they don’t bring cases that aren’t ironclad really wondering if that starts to change, there might be some highly embarrassing losses in criminal court coming if they’re directing indictments with nothing behind them

people have raised extremely serious problems with his story (namely, that Lucre watermarked the worst CSAM on earth and was clearly lying about how he acquired it) and the response is to be snarky about the bluesky pileon what is going on in the newsroom there

One striking thing from this (excellent) report on a DOGE employee's use of AI is that everything about it is antithetical to sound software engineering practices—an engineer hurriedly deploying an unfamiliar tool to meet an impossible deadline for a problem domain in which he has no expertise.

guys I really need you to read this. this is ART.

Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking. It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”

Say Peter I hear you like 'em young

can we bring back shame? I think we should bring back shame

note that this completely inverts the public justification for the deportation scheme. they claim they’re deporting criminals, but they deported Kilmar without knowledge of a crime, and now that they supposedly found one they’re bringing him BACK.

New York Times stop writing puff pieces on reactionaries challenge: impossible

the funny thing is you sort of have to assume he hatched this plan expecting kamala to win and now instead of being a brilliant and showy attack at a sitting president it's an attack on an old man who has cancer

Chris Nolan: In my film Interstellar I invented the agricultural crisis as a cautionary tale Eleven year old DOGE Commissioner of Science: At long last we have created the Agricultural Crisis from the sci-fi classic Interstellar

science has outrun famine and pestilence so far that people no longer remember we were running from them

You’re laughing, The social media intern was taken out back and shot after this tweet, and you’re laughing!

note to self, nobody actually cares about water use. they don't care if the numbers are bullshit. it doesn't matter. it is a pretext to be angry and they do not care if it's true at all
