interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

If we find out Kristi Noem's "special blanket" was playing the role of Tom Homan's "special Cava bag" then I'm going to lose it.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Quick question: What idiot thought it was a good idea to give Kristi Noem an anti-aircraft death ray? El Paso airspace was suddenly closed on Tuesday because Homeland Security jackasses tested a new anti-drone laser NEXT TO AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

Sure, give the agents who can't use nonlethal rounds without screwing it up access to an anti-aircraft death ray. What could go wrong.

To be fair lawmakers are finding things in 10 minutes that the DoJ wasn't able to find for years so maybe DoJ is just looking for pointers on how to do that.

Pam Bondi once again shows why she's unfit for public office (any public office) She thinks she's the Influencer General, and it shows.

The alleged attorney general of the United States is not supposed to be glassy-eyed insult comic who spends more time compiling material for her bits than she does doing her day job.

this is a level of complicity that had not occurred to me

It's honestly amazing our Congress doesn't have more fistfights, given how this stuff works in many other countries.

Sorry for too many AI posts but as a tech guy, this is like watching a pocket calculator salesmen tell you "See the M button? It's for MakeCancerGoAway" and no buddy that is not how any of this works.

These AI companies are going to collapse if they can't get mass consumer subscriptions to the _current_ generation of their products. As in, before the current-gen chips burn out. And that, friends, is why AI execs continue to LIE SPECTACULARLY about what their tech can actually do.

I expect Google, in particular, will try to use its monopoly power to make basic internet searches a pay-for service. Desperate for money, it could enshitten "normal" searches while asking you to subscribe to get the "better" (plagiarized and wrong) AI answers. 3/

AI may someday be dominant! But pissing away an enormous chunk of world GDP to buy chips that _will never be able to run that theoretical AI_ is only useful if _current_ AI has enough pay-for use cases to make a profit. It can't: energy use is too great and is only increasing. 2/

Again, the biggest probs with this gen of AI is that it 1) costs a fortune to produce results that are 2) riddled with errors due to the foundational design of the tech. There are not enough pay-for use cases to keep these companies afloat, and "hype" is the only thing keeping the bubble unpopped.

This is a huge deal. After years of leading in fundraising, Dem small donors are (rightly) pissed off at the spam texts and emails, as well as at congressional leadership. Meanwhile, GOP billionaire money is hitting record levels. Perfect storm.

Minnesota still needs your attention

it's great that grand juries are stepping up but I also do not think you should be allowed to practice law after bringing a case like that

A child

He eats meat and ferments RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt." — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar...

When I was on land, I once met a man
Named Bobby Kennedy

He was near a cadaver, but oh could he blather
'bout health and policy ...

Leon Botstein absolutely has to leave Bard College

Yes. Miller knows those people can't all be deported. He knows they will be in camps. We need to understand: many, many people in Trump's circle read about the Nazis, openly admire Hitler, and want to emulate what Hitler did. We have to accept how serious this is - we cannot hide from it.

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

We live under a cartoonishly corrupt administration.

Not sure where the "technically it's not pedophilia" crowd retreats to from here, but I'm sure they're already workshopping something.

When I was a kid, the super bowl ads were all beer, cola, and Doritos. Then it was dot-coms. A couple years ago it was all crypto. This year is all AI slop, surveillance, and online betting. What a grim reflection of the world the tech oligarchs have wrought.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

This one time I'd be fine naming the thing after him if it would make him happy. The Donald Trump Memorial Hole can be a vital part of our infrastructure.

I slept in. Has anything stupid happened yet.

I don't understand these scams because if you're gonna do this, why have authors at all? Outsource it to readers. A reader can ask AI "write a romance book where Shrek battles the Lobster God of Nantucket." Then they read it, cry themselves to sleep, and repeat. I'm sure that'll work out fine.

The panda eats shoots and leaves.

The RFK Jr eats meat and ferments.

Jeff Bezos makes enough money to fully fund this literally every two minutes.
