Bannon Spills on Secret Physical Brawl Behind Musk’s Demise The Tesla CEO allegedly “got physical” with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

The ruling class is fractured. They are still working together, but the decline is real.

That is likely our greatest opening.

“who are Republicans spending time with online and what do those people believe” is a story that the media has completely ignored for years and we might be in a different place if the public was actually aware how many of those people are outright Nazis

Also just tactically it's a bad idea to tear down the institutions which are by far the biggest factories of left/liberal-minded americans. The right know this and it's why they want to gut higher ed

I think the left critique of higher ed often unfortunately veers into this territory. Like yes college is too expensive and some of these institutions are run like hedge funds but the education they provide is fundamentally valuable in ways both tangible and not

The film doesn't condemn Christianity. But it does explicitly state it was forced on black people unlike Blues music. The pivotal scene near the end sets up music at the film's heart in opposition to the church when Sammie refuses to let go of his broken guitar. It's all in there pretty plainly

Yarvin is such a midwit he doesn't understand that there's a reason etymology and semantics are different things

Fundamental to the movie is the idea of Christianity as colonization — of which the Irish were also victims. It's in the title

I love the original trilogy, but in some ways Andor serves as a critique of what we all know as Star Wars. The show focuses on collective effort and the multitude of unglamorous acts heroism of regular people, whereas Star Wars has traditionally been about a few chosen saviors.

A popular tactic lately from liberal pundits with something to sell (see the Abundance bros) is to embrace a right wing critique of the left in order to be seen as nonpartisan and clear eyed.

The pundits doing this are opportunistic cowards with all the moral clarity of a weather vane

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.

Great example of bad art. It's just a sequence of images that someone thought looked cool. The constraints imposed by a normal creative process discourage that kind of incoherent maximalism. To do something similar without AI also requires collaboration which can curb a creator's worst impulses

That JB Pritzker sounds relevatory reflects how far a whole generation of Democratic politicians strayed from the absolute basics of electoral politics: say what you mean, act like you sincerely like your constituents, and don't constantly bring up how much you like and agree with your opponents.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.
