company leadership blindly following a magic-8-ball after firing that one employee who's been tracking all this on an excel spreadsheet for twenty years, because hey, they have a magic-8-ball now

That AI solution cost them how much, when they could have gotten the same results with $11 at Target?

The colonialism of their worldview comes through in this - the rest of the world exists only to be exploited, and whatever use they make of it is self-evidently highest and best use, as they see it

ice guy: what do we do next, sir?
tom homan: [staring at COIN chart] what we need is an empathy trap

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40.

Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

One takeaway from the big WSJ Noem/Lewandowski/DHS piece is how all the Trump satellites think they can be heir apparent when in reality they are like 45 seconds from the 11 am block on NewsNation

Isn’t the point of the barriers recreating Jim Crow? That disparate enforcement targets Dem voters and privileges GOP voters?

Better: nationalize the companies

and delete X. Send all those users back to 8chan

It’ll be like the Berlin Wall - all people need is for the building’s security to empty their hands and stand back

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English”

my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

Wile E. here is currently painting the tunnel on the side of the mountain

Don’t think I’m going to enjoy watching him smash his rocket car on it, this time

Donate to Support for Washington Post international employees, organized by Michelle Lee Among the hundreds of journalists laid off by The Washington Post on … Michelle Lee needs your support for Support for Washington Post international employees

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.

One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

Abolish the billionaire class:

I know how to get out of their predicament: impeach and remove

It wouldn’t even take that many of them to do

And there’s a new completely valid reason every effing day

An observation I've been thinking about:

Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“We just need to make sure it comes down in three hours.”

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

Yall.. DW News (German international TV) asked me live and direct if Trump’s racist anti-Obama post was part of his effort to distract from the Epstein files! 🫠🫠🫠

Part I of my segment on the president’s pathetic and predictable gutter racism..

If the Matrix commentary track is anything to go by, I have to unfortunately suggest Carrie-Anne Moss

Maybe that ketchup is not a sauce?

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:

In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

Sandra Bullock and Garth Brooks were the two I watched on repeat back on the short-lived “Muppets Tonight”

These 4 were on my “All-time Faves” Spotify list:

Don’t Come Around Here No More
Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic

And of course

It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

I’d put money down that ICE wanted some free cookies and complained when they didn’t get them

What it's like to see ICE tear gas kids Attendees at a Portland, OR protest describe a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:

This is the work.
This is the vow.
To stay human in inhuman times.
To carry light without blinding others.
To speak truth without losing soul.
To meet the moment
again,
and again,
and again
until the storm learns our name
and the child knows
they are safe to grow.

Turning Points and Authoritarian Escalations

Is America’s descent into autocracy accelerating or is the Trump regime struggling to break through the democratic defenses?
