This is what wrestling was supposed to be, this is what they took from you

Elon Musk is a symbol of American collapse in many ways, but one of the big ones is how for years he has constantly engaged in multi-billion-dollar securities and consumer fraud, and the "consequence" has been him making billions more, including from the federal government paying him directly.

Thank you

im begging you to listen to how this fox news host pronounces “authoritarianism”

Trump’s Crypto Profiteering Is Worse Than You Think w/ Jacob Silverman - Tech Won’t Save Us A left-wing podcast for better technology and a better world.

If you, like me, wanted more details about the VC guy from Sequoia who had a big messy crashout last month over Zohran Mamdani, today's @techwontsave.us ep with @jacobsilverman.com gets into it. I love this podcast. It's the best antidote for those of us exposed to megadoses of tech hype at work.

Great to have @jacobsilverman.com back on the show! We start by discussing how influential tech figures can get away with open racism and Islamophobia, then pivot to talk about the scandalous nature of Trump’s capture by the crypto industry.

Why do I hate umbrellas? How long have you got?

Literally never misses

At the heart of it, much of what bothers me is how banal, boring, and uninteresting these people are. They literally have nothing to say, no new thought, no new ideas. It's just rehashing the mistakes of 100 years ago and acting as if it is edgy.

This article from @jacobsilverman.com is very important today: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Amazing that MSM is mostly oblivious or doesn't seem to care

Emil Bove died in a typhoid outbreak in 1832.

Virginia Giuffre was a 16-year-old towel girl. Why would Trump know or care whether Epstein hired her away?

is a searing insight into the rise of Silicon Valley's far right and the tech and finance oligarchs exerting increasingly radical political influence.

Is starvation in Gaza really Israel's fault? The facts are clear Rising starvation in Gaza may have a number of factors. But Israel's wartime policies on humanitarian aid are inarguably among them.

For @forward.com, I wrote about how we know that Israel has been withholding food as a military tactic because Israeli officials have said versions of “we are withholding food as a military tactic” for the entirety of the war and pretending otherwise is willful ignorance forward.com/opinion/7586...

The Professors Who Supported the Student Deportation Frenzy GoFundMe donations, social media posts, and board memberships reveal how a handful of faculty members are backing Zionist doxxing outfits.

NEW: While many academics worried about danger to free speech in higher ed during Trump admin's arrests of students for pro-Palestine speech, some liberal arts professors were supporting the groups looking to detain students...sometimes on their own campuses.

CUNY professor Jeffrey Lax, one of the subjects of this story, is freaking out about it on X and is furious at Jacqueline for reporting on what he’s been up to. He even tagged the head of the DOJ task force to combat antisemitism.

Good point

How Sequoia's Shaun Maguire became Silicon Valley's most MAGA firebrand Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire shocked many when he called Zohran Mamdani an "Islamist." He says he's only just getting started.

“We at Sequoia had independently formed a thesis around Israeli defense tech," Maguire and two colleagues wrote in an article on Sequoia's website. "In the long term, the ambition is to convert Israel into a defense tech hub for Western militaries." www.businessinsider.com/shaun-maguir...

The sectors Maguire invested in — cyber, space, crypto, defense tech — are part of "this new military-industrial complex which Sequoia is very much in the middle of."
