“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

Pistons without both Jaylen Duren and Bix Dugan. I hope we make something of this opportunity.

if Silicon Valley had framed "AI" as "these new technological breakthroughs are going to utterly overturn our field and its economics, and once that gets sorted out it will have a slower and more measured impact on less quantitative work" we might be able to have less silly conversations about this

The difference between how the Star Tribune is reporting from the Twin Cities and how the LA Times is reporting from Los Angeles tells you a lot about how much media ownership politics has fucked Los Angeles

Under Starmer, recognised refugees can no longer reunite with their children.

Recognised refugees.

It’s diabolical. Worse than anything the Tories did. & no, the racists are not & never will be satisfied.

So yes, he’s hated.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Could have sworn I skeeted at the start of the season the bold prediction that BI would be an allstar and Zion would be ineligible.
