Candance Owens reveals text messages between her and Charlie Kirk about Ben Shapiro where Kirk says "he is sending his incesterous brother to try and kill us" and that Ben Shapiro viewed Candance as Charlie's "slave"

Dear lord the tea doesn't stop spilling

This breaks some people’s brains.

In most cities, Costco stores fuel sprawl & car dependency.

In Vancouver, our full-sized downtown Costco has residential towers above & a skytrain station next door. LOTS of customers don’t drive to it.

We live a block from it. We call it “the convenience store.”

Keep track of the victories when they come

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

I also love the assumption that being rich means the mayor has to meet with you. I hope Zohran runs him over with a boat

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

according to this graph the 3 outcomes for AI are becoming a WALL-E person, 0.2% economic growth, and getting your skull stomped by a Terminator

if the guys who stole my car wheels wanted to make more money why did they not simply increase crown power and control over the region by upgrading the gravel roads into paved roads and building a counting house and increase their taxes on the burghers. are they stupid

there's no understanding of socialism without understanding of siege socialism, how it's always been undermined by capital generally and the US specifically, and that all levers of imperial power will be wielded against even the slightest bit of social democracy in any part of the world

So much of the conservative rage at the world stems from the fact that they spurn real friendship opportunities in order to maintain credibility with right wing posters they have never met and never will.

X is more important than real life and they wonder why they hate their lives

Bill Ackman you should develop a strong interest in the Titanic imo

can someone who understands the economy explain how a company that sells less than 2 million cars per year can pay one person $1T?

they’re paying him $500,000 for every car they sell

It's important to remember, I think, that this is the same woman who, almost 20 years ago, could not bring herself to say that Obama was not a Muslim without adding the caveat "as far as I know".

Clinton and her camp are truly a blight on US politics.

The abundance of evidence of the Biden administration just looking the other way and being willing to supply arms to actions they knew violated international law will continue to grow

Tweeted video by Jonathan Greenblatt with intro text: "Transparency and accountability are critical for democracy, and no elected official should be afraid of it. Why we launched the Mamdani Monitor…" https://x.com/JGreenblattADL/status/1986797111808344229

"We are a Nazi-defending defamation outlet that labels phrases like 'Respect Existence or Expect Resistance' as antisemitic hate crimes, and we intend to do that with every word uttered by the Muslim mayor."

One way of thinking about Twitter, especially in the Elon Musk era, is as the latest and most sophisticated version of the mailing lists that have powered the conservative movement, and the various scams and cons and schemes that constitute it, since the 1960s--in other words, as a huge and immediately accessible collection of suckers, waiting to have their avidity and paranoia exploited for cash. The predictions markets here are happy to play the same role with heavy X.com users as crypto scams and meme-stock hustlers did on the same site a few years ago, or as cash-for-gold ads did with Fox News viewers a decade before that, or as direct-mail get-rich-quick schemes did with Goldwater voters deep in prehistory.1 But the demand for dumb money created by the increasing annexation of our everyday social and cultural lives into casino-market hybrids like predictions markets (or, arguably, social media itself2) isn’t going to be satisfied solely by a pre-existing population of Birchite suckers. We talk a lot about the “male loneliness crisis” but in my estimation we don’t talk enough about the “male suckerfication crisis”: The process by which young men are continuously cultivated--by politicians, influencers, podcasters, sportscasters, and the very structure of social networks--as dupes and suckers, both for the enrichment and empowerment of Trumpist politicians and movements but also in service of the profits an ever-expanding roster of gambling and gambling-adjacent industries, among them app-enabled retail day-trading, crypto speculation, predictions markets, and of course, actual sports betting.

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

This Whole Thing Really Snuck Up On Us Looking back, and ahead, on the anniversary of a White House warning.

Today is the 60th(!) anniversary of the first public report on the dangers of fossil fuel pollution.

What happened? A whole lot of fossil fuel bullsh*t and corruption in service of a whole lot of nothing.

All while pollution and warming escalated far beyond what scientist predicted in 1965.

I assume you've saved this post for later

Very cool to have a front row seat to the effects of neoliberalism in the US and learn absolutely nothing from it.

Every day Carney finds new ways to be a colossal disappointment

Mulder: look at the shape of their skull, Scully, that’s not a human.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative
