Butterfly Path

Faith in the supreme court as some sort of bulwark against something is the unreasonable position

You kids and your lattes and avocado toast, you better rich dad poor dad that shit! now click this feature story on a trust fund kid who worked 996 and lived off licorice and retired to Fiji at 29 from his "app incubator"

JG Ballard would approve, and it's such a critical part of performing lib nationalism

Clearly nothing so dangerous to democracy as structural analysis and seeking to democratize economic relations

Indeed there was a time when increasing the deficit by a trillion dollars would have had GOP foaming at the mouth

Another reminder. Anne Frank and her sister Margot didn't die in gas chambers. They died of Typhus due to overcrowding at Bergen-Belsen women's camp, which also experienced outbreaks of tuberculosis and typhoid fever.

Aux Etats-Unis, l’extrême droite est impliquée dans 93 % des meurtres extrémistes. Ce qui ne la pas empêchée d'arriver au pouvoir...

The President is taking a *pre-noon* nap. In public. At his big event. On World Peace. This will go mostly unremarked upon outside here. Meanwhile, the commentary class thinks it deeply important to inform you that AOC said "uhm" a few times in response to a question on the same topic a few days ago

this but “arrest rich pedophiles”

One year later, Emily Pike’s legacy fuels reform and demands justice PHOENIX — Turquoise light wraps around the painted portrait of a dead girl. It is part of a makeshift memorial that sits off a highway road beneath Mount Triplet in

Worst of the worst. Heritage Americans. Habeas Corpus. Empty words

Above all I'm just saddened watching the humanities disappear in any form. Sigh.

Oh yeah no I think we're in alignment, I just started to get overly excited about this straw man Anabaptist history. Because all history is political, always. And the agenda of widening the scope of whose stories get told is plainly better than the other option.

Such analysis would have to take into account the historical context. I know I'm geeking out on what was just a random example but I think it makes a great point: Anabaptists were expressly political, and explicitly focused on social justice. So Mellon would not be an enemy to historical inquiry

I'm not a super expert on the Anabaptists, but from what I know any biographical or doctrinal analysis could not be separated from their criticisms of the Church, the repression of the German Peasant's Revolts, the relationship to Luther, even the influence on Tyndall & the Church of England

Anabaptism was a major social movement that has many relevant ties to today. Sounds like a great grant proposal waiting to be written

The museum in Bisbee is really interesting because it's located in the offices/boardroom of the mining company. One side of the main exhibit has a display on the strike and aftermath, the other is all from the perspective of the owners and investors. The two sides don't interact.

Who paid for this piece? It reads like counterinsurgency intel cables condescending against those who dare to go against the desired position. remind me what I'm missing out on again... besides my job?

"[P]erpetrators of harassment and stalking ... have quickly adopted easy-to-use generative AI tools such as text, image, and voice-generators, which they’ve used to create content including nonconsensual sexual deepfakes and to fabricate interpersonal interactions."

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

A response to a study asking for comments on how to improve informed consent documents using AI: if a research study involving human subjects does not have the resources to engage qualified professionals to write its informed consent texts, then maybe it's not a study worth undertaking.

I was just asked to take a qualtrix for a study on using gen AI to write informed consent statements for human subjects research ?!

ICE officials knew use of force was rising well before Minneapolis shootings Internal agency emails show a surge in reports of ICE officers using more force going back nearly a year, but DHS leadership did not see it as a concern to be addressed.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

this is a "y'all got jokes" moment considering that there is no more security discipline left in the US national security establishment anymore. The director of national intelligence is a foreign cutout, strike plans are shared on insecure group chats, teenage cybercriminals ran loose in gov

2028 primaries are going to whoever commits to prosecuting the Trump Epstein crimes, including the cover-up happening rn

Contrasting this with the latest episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social long interview on commons and enclosures, and seeing how much of the economy today is stock speculation on things that a) don't make profit and b) seek to remove more jobs. It's a bubble and we're all on the wrong side of it

The AI productivity take-off is finally visible New economic data suggests the US is transitioning to a phase of measurable gains from the technology

In which the founder of a company that tells business lies about AI tells lies about AI, and frames 400,000 human layoffs as “productivity growth”

Boycott these creeps and scammers
