It looks like an ai-slop attempt at a jeopardy "before and after" style clue

Imagine naming your round-up-hardworking-brown-people operation after a story written by the same man who wrote this.

Some pig, indeed.

My master's in data science will be finished in December and I will likely have a job(!). I can't begin to describe my stress over the past 2.5 years.

To give myself an outlet during this time, I taught myself to play piano by ear.

Oh man... It gets better.

"The rentier economy is characterized by low growth and therefore less material prosperity for everyone, but more guaranteed relative position for those on top. And people, it turns out, really like relative position... these hierarchies tend to be fractal..."

I should read more from this author..

"Fox News is the opiate of the masses and all thatβ€”though these days it is more like the crystal methamphetamine of the masses. They're simply too busy screaming at their screens about migrant caravans to realize the plutocrats are picking their pockets"

..."Meanwhile, the populists insist on actions that are disastrous for business, including mass deportations, thousand percent tariffs, and bloody wars of conquest."

(Sarcasm) The policies can't be "disastrous for business", look at the stock market!

Great article that doesn't beat around the bush:

"The plutocrats are robbing the populists blind! All they care about is corruption, extraction, low taxes and low servicesβ€”all of which exact serious costs from the mass movement of the populists."

The same year the company got that big South Dakota ad contract, it sent up to $25k to one of Noem’s closest aides.

That aide, 28-year-old Madison Sheahan, now second-in-command at ICE.

Does listening count?

"The Meaning of it All" by Richard Feynman.

Feynman, one of the most famous physicists of his time, freely discusses philosophy, science, politics, religion, the cold war in the 1960's. It's amazing how well it holds.

I keep returning to this and can't recommend it enough.

Fox News has β€œcorrected” a piece about videos of Black women complaining about losing SNAP benefits, finally pointing out that they were AI-generated. Since these videos don’t involve real people, I imagine there’s little liability for so-called β€œnews outlets” reporting racist AI propaganda as fact.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

An essay on wank | deadSimpleTech This captures well the uncomfortable, slightly disorienting feeling that wank creates when you're subjected to it, wherein you're expected to speak about and think about the statement as though it say...
