Markwayne Mullin - yes Mark and Wayne pushed together - is depicted standing on a box during a debate to hide the fact that he’s a very short man and would look quite small next to his opponent.

Holy shit I forgot he was THAT bitch. Incredible. He’s also this bitch…

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

Why Tyrants Spy at Home and Start Wars Abroad Podcast Episode · Next Comes What · March 5 · 31m

Hegseth demanded that Claude's last two guardrails be removed. Anthropic said no. OpenAI said yes. Then the US bombed Iran.

Authoritarianism 101—spying at home, bombing abroad. But Trump's deeply unpopular, and that can change a lot.

Andrea Pitzer explains what we can do about our wannabe tyrant.

US asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones, Zelensky says Ukraine's president says Kyiv will only help if doing so does not deplete its own air defences.

Statesmanship.

Israel’s demand that hundreds of thousands of Lebanese flee the south of Beirut so they can carpet bomb it is absolutely outrageous. Israeli strategists really seem to think they can turn Beirut into Gaza and that grateful Lebanese will then rush for a peace agreement. Delusional and criminal.

"You can only be decent because we are horrible" is a very, very popular line of thinking among horrible people.

Ice-T was right.

Blumenthal: "I have emerged from classified briefings deeply concerned and very fearful that we're on the precipice not only of an escalating conflict that in region, but also putting troops on the ground b/c that is almost inevitably the path the admin has chosen by its current tactical approach"

If human rights are limited to certain groups, they are not really human rights, are they?

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

@jesswash.bsky.social lays out the stakes in this piece: denying some children access to public schools isn't just cruel to those children and harmful to communities, it is destructive of the mission of public education and another sledgehammer the right wants to take to it more broadly.

I’m utterly uninterested in “debates” about whether AI can do things well. I wouldn’t care if it could. 1. It stole from me. 2. I prefer me having my job to a computer having it. 3. I don’t teach “with” Lockheed or Raytheon; why wld I teach with Anthropic or OpenAI?

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

All these companies are like "We can't just turn these chatbot services off," really, I'm old enough to remember Vine

As someone who has lived through far too many US wars and bombing campaigns, I've never seen anything this unpopular from the outset.

From The New Yorker

House Oversight Committee subpoenas Attorney General Pam Bondi Bondi has faced criticism from Democrats, and some Republicans, over the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files.

Breaking news: The House Oversight Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi, setting up yet another clash between House Republicans and the White House over convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Lou Holtz was fired as head coach at Arkansas because he kept taping campaign ads for Jesse Helms.

He was too racist for Arkansas. In 1983.

Yes, we’re well aware. That’s precisely the problem.

The weather is absolutely perfect right now. No one raise the temperature by even a degree!

Was cleaning up old files at day job yesterday and realized 7-person marketing team I joined last year is now... 2 people.

Year prior, my previous day job culled content writing team over 2 years from 12 people to... 2 people.

Just in case you're wondering how AI is "transforming the workplace."

Foggy sunrise with trees in the background

gorgeous morning!

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

With Us or Against Us, Again Congress didn’t authorize this war, and the only response to questions is a loyalty test we’ve fallen for before.

Afghanistan started at 92 percent approval. Iraq started at 71. Iran started at 27. The "whose side are you on" rhetoric is identical. The country underneath it isn't. I wrote about how the framework works, and who's deploying it. www.readtpa.com/p/with-us-or...

In case we didn't have enough WAR...

My oldest mentioned how she’s almost 25 and I had to show her this classic 😅

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

NEWS FLASH: In a democracy, we don’t allow one guy to take the entire country to war based on an “opinion.” That’s what the kings we were breaking from used to do. (1/2)
