This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

Opinion Guest Essay That Hegseth Speech Was Actually Pretty Good Oct. 7, 2025, 5:01 a.m. ET

Despite appearances, this is not a @nytpitchbot.bsky.social joke, it's an actual @nytimes.com column by some Claremont hack who praises Hegseth for his "nuanced vision of the military’s purpose and its relationship to civilian society."

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

Honestly Bari Weiss being named as the editor in chief of CBS gives me a weird sense of peace. She’s a propagandist to be sure but she’s also an incredibly lazy charlatan and I don’t think her new owners nor her understand just how incompetent she is nor how badly this will end

This was always going to be the problem with β€œgood immigrant” messaging as the framing to counter mass deportation.

He was just the Superintendent of a school district in Iowa of all places, and boom just like that he’s just a Black guy who had a gun. Never mind what the gun ownership rates in Iowa may be.

Yeah here’s where offering to bail out the GOP on a political problem they created while leaving threats of military occupation untouched really baffles me.

Comic labeled "When workers unite"
On one side is a man in a suit, standing on blocks labeled "company experts", "employers association", and "corporate structure". On the other side is a person standing on a small block labeled "union" which is being held up by dozens of people to equal height, and she says to the man "Okay, NOW let's negotiate".

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

A comic strip. A cat walks in front of his house with a sign saying "On strike". An exterminator tells the man "Sorry, I ain't no scab" rather than walk past the picket line.

MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone

TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6?

JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd

TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

UK's Labour Party Abandoned Trans People. Here's What American Dems Can Learn. Democrats: There is no β€œmiddle ground” on equal rights. Take it from UK Labour.

UK's Labour Party abandoned transgender people. The gambit to pursue rightwing voters by abandoning a targeted minority failed, and now they're facing the prospect of a historic loss.

US Dems could learn a lot from their failure.

Great piece from S. Baum.
