Watching 'Agatha Christie's Poirot', and I feel sorry for Hastings in the episodes when he's on holiday with Poirot. He's is all set to relax with some posh English recreation time and Poirot says, "no no, we must zolve ze case!" and you can see his spirit die a little

Comic

Republican politicians 
"I want everyone to die." 

Democrat politicians 
"I don't, but that's cool. How can I help?"

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

Tuesday's election meant everything - this is punishment for progressive wins. They hate the Left far more than they hate the Right.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like β€œbet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I think it's actually good that when the person collapsed in the oval office, RFK ran away and Trump stood around like an awkward weirdo. Can you think of any two people less equipped to provide any level of first aid? Keep them well out of the way

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: 
Using Generative AI?
You’re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a β€œwe do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

I see a lot of "ICE is doing this to even CITIZENS!!" responses, and… who cares if it's citizens. Who cares if it's people undocumented or here The Wrong Way. The lustful violence is incommensurate with any possible justification no matter the targets. They are evil. Fundamentally, biblically evil.
