The same dem consultants that bought us "nothing will fundamentally change" and "no daylight, kid" and muzzled Walz to a 30 second soundbite in support of trans people and are backing Cuomo and Adams against Mamdani, and supporting Newsom, would *love* to run on bikeshedding and policy wonkey.

I really think more people should point this out. Like, whenever you think of Ghislaine, think of children.

I'll write a book called "The AI Leader" and in it, I'll just talk about leading people with empathy.

"Trick" people into reading the thing that they actually need to learn.

So... how does this protect women, exactly? It's always been about being cruel to trans people.

December 2017, that was the first time that i tweeted out that the Trump administration was engaging in domestic ethnic cleansing.

holy cow the harper goff energy on that minibus!!!!

I overheard a guy at the airport bragging about being at January 6th and I walked by him sitting in first class. Wealthy business owners stormed the capitol. January 6th was loaded with people who had the leisure time and travel budget to be there. Interrogate who is telling you to hate the poor.

over time the american oligarchy has so selected for grifters and charlatans that they are now incapable of producing a Business Plot 2

Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America

Here's your regular reminder to read @josie.zone's book.

Here's what Janel Grant's lawsuit against WWE and Vince McMahon alleges about Brock Lesnar.

(These pages contain detailed descriptions of alleged sexual abuse by McMahon and what Grant says was his attempt to traffic her to Lesnar during a contract negotiation.)

Modern homes are so cookie-cutter we must protect our unique architectural heritage

It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...

and i would watch this on pay-per-view

Check out the colossal array of great Murphs in the replies.

The Trump regime is trying to make it illegal to oppose them politically. They want to ban freedom of speech and end competitive elections.

It's telling, for example, that the architects of Project 2025 have blamed falling birth rates on "harmful over-consumption of schooling."

They want to go back to a time when college was only for wealthy White men. Because that will make the rest of the population easier to manipulate with misinformation and easier to force into unpaid care roles (women) or underpaid manual labor jobs that remain as more jobs get AI-ed (men).

An illustration of a Richard Scarry inspired crew dumping steel mill slag cars full of hot chocolate on a bed of frosting.

Did I ever share the finished version of the steel mill hot chocolate car operation?

Another in my Richard Scarry homage illustration series.

I don't say this lightly: The New York Times should fire the reporter and editor who chose to present a leak from the white house as if it was a leak from Harvard.

Don't print lies in the newspaper

Whose Economy Is it Anyway?
Where the numbers are made up, and the lies don't matter.

People will be like "I would do anything for my kids!" right up until you suggest raising the property taxes a few cents.

While I’m grateful for he and his family stepping up in this way, I must reiterate that democracy SHOULD NOT BE A BATTLE OF THE BILLIONAIRES!

Crockett: Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit—we know that. But in a functioning democracy, he still wouldn’t be able to get away with this. He’s been able to get away with it because Republicans are complicit and—most importantly—the Supreme Court is complicit.

Often. Sad af tbh

Elon Musk is a symbol of American collapse in many ways, but one of the big ones is how for years he has constantly engaged in multi-billion-dollar securities and consumer fraud, and the "consequence" has been him making billions more, including from the federal government paying him directly.

A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

Nathan Ramos-Park manages to speak aloud something thats difficult to articulate. Art is more than an idea. It's a POV, and AI can't have a unique view based on its own emotions and experiences. It has nothing to say.
