Wow, the case against Bolton is so much worse than the case against Trump or Biden for that matter.

Experiments with Sora 2

What’s the Polymarket on how long Markel has before she is arrested for being a Russian proxy?

Jack Ciattareli’s pal Trump just terminated the Gateway Project just like Chris Christie did beforehand. It’s time to terminate his candidacy! Let them run real republicans who care about New Jersey not MAGA cultists of they want to win.

We should start a political movement to either make the schwa the 27th letter of the alphabet or eliminate it without prejudice.

László Moholy-Nagy and György Kepes were Hungarian avant-gardists, key figures at the Bauhaus before fleeing fascism. In the U.S., they reshaped visual education, but their ideas also influenced wartime strategies in camouflage, aerial reconnaissance, and psychological warfare.

These are all parasites who drag down the GDP and frustrate our lives daily. Imagine a political platform based on common sense ideas to squash them.

Why is health care so high? It's not the doctors, it's all the sludge demons who thrive off the paperwork. Why is college so expensive? All the useless administrators who wield way more power than faculty ( (believe me I taught at these schools and watched them take over).

Complex forms, "accidentally" dropped calls, malfunctioning websites, support chatbots, billing "mistakes," all ensure you don't get the health insurance benefits you deserve, that you don't get your refund, that you don't get unsubscribe from that expensive service after the trial ... or ever.

That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose. - The Atlantic Endless wait times and excessive procedural fuss—it’s all part of a tactic called “sludge.”

Bureaucratic disentitlement is deliberate. It’s how systems quietly push people out through paperwork. A politics of abundance has to start by tearing that machinery down. And it's not just the government. The private sector employs sludge to defeat us. See

If I were to build a new national party in the US or EU, it would be abundance-based—and begin with a merciless assault on administrative burden and bureaucratic disentitlement. @ezraklein is right that bureaucracy blocks progress, but it also disenfranchises.

If you are on Sora 2, I encourage you to follow me at sora.chatgpt.com/pro... for experimental video art, plus experimental slop.

So, we are told that through Yarvin, Vance has become aware of Nick Land. NRx is now the operative philosophy in the Trump Admin they say. Meanwhile Land lives in Shanghai with no clear income stream but "studies China." And we still *worry* about being played by the Chinese?

What? A month to file the story?

Berenstein Bears moment: didn’t John Searle die a few weeks ago?

Today, Donald Trump decided to give the New Jersey governor’s race to the Dems. I’m OK with that. I don’t want another trumpenprole in office.

Finally got access to Sora 2. It’s much, much worse than I ever imagined.

Even though the shutdown hurts the Dems, the Trumpen threat to kill the Hudson tunnel may be enough to win Sherrill the governorship. That won’t play well in the state. Not at all.

Nettle infusion is the best restorative tonic.

Mikie Sherrill should attack the NJ Affordable Housing Law. It destroys the environment and believe me, it’s not affordable unless you want studio apartments you can’t afford. Total scam to let developer win big.

Cryptid energy.

So Meta makes the cringeworthy Vibes, and just one week later, having learned nothing, OpenAI decides to follow up with Sora 2, a social network for creating short-form video slop nobody needs.

Now that’s commitment.

FYI if you liked Mare of Easttown, Task is even better. Harrowing though. Need to lighten it up by alternating it with Alien Earth.

Slop at work is an act of self rebellion against bureaucracy and must be defended as a basic human right.

Cat for #caturday

How is Vladivostok these days?

Oh, come on you’re on Bluesky are you actually serious? Is this the way you actually think?

And I’m going to hold those clowns as well as the Dem base accountable if we lose New Jersey to MAGA.

Of course you say that. This is Blue Sky! You have to say that. It’s your structural function here.
