Isabel Wilkerson’s ‘Caste’ Is an ‘Instant American Classic’ About Our Abiding Sin (Gift Article) Wilkerson’s new book makes unsettling comparisons between India’s treatment of its untouchables, Nazi Germany’s treatment of Jews and America’s treatment of African-Americans.

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past,” as Faulkner knew. Most members of the dominant caste in every age will eagerly embrace any & every injustice they think will enable them to retain & enhance their unearned privilege & status, as @isabelwilkerson.bsky.social brilliantly explained.

Deep Dive: Big Spender Rich people are firing a cash cannon at the US economy—but at what cost? The wealthiest 10% of American households—those making more than $250,000 a year, roughly—are now responsible for half of all consumer spending and at least a third of the country’s gross domestic product. High earners spending disproportionately large amounts of money is nothing new. But the disconnect between this group’s buying habits and the rest of the country has become more extreme in recent years. Such a huge concentration of financial resources presents risks with such a group having an outsize ability to bring everyone else down with them. “I’m not comfortable with it,” according to Mark Zandi, chief economist for Moody’s Analytics.

The Generative AI Con It's been just over two years and two months since ChatGPT launched, and in that time we've seen Large Language Models (LLMs) blossom from a novel concept into one of the most craven cons of the 21st ...

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all.

BREAKING: The National Treasury Employees Union is suing the Trump administration.

They're suing over Trump's "schedule F" order that that makes it easier to fire career federal workers.

The union's president says, “This order is about administering political loyalty tests."

Trump just abolished all men.
All embryos are, at conception, female. After about 9-14 weeks of gestation male physiology develops.
For an ideology that's supposedly 'science-based' these chumps really can't get high school biology right.

Biden’s Final Humiliation | David Klion With the Gaza ceasefire, Trump accomplished in a week what the Biden administration refused to do for fifteen months.

The Biden administration has carved out a loophole for itself so the TikTok ban won't apply to certain government staff, according to a document signed by Secretary of State Blinken and leaked to me:

Happening now, a transgender sports ban is being heard in Congress.

This ban might ban trans people from dancing, darts, and even chess in many universities.

It'll also target 9 year olds playing soccer.
