Headline from New York Times about corruption in Ukraine.

So let me get this straight @nytimes.com, you can produce front pages stories about corruption in the Ukrainian government but you’ve got nothing on the massive corruption happening in the U.S. government?

Obviously not. Maybe they’re thinking that people in uniform have ‘donned the colors?’

The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what “works,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is, above all, an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us and sometimes even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

Pope Leo XIV understands technology and its relationship to art better any executive or AI-pilled techbro running the conference circuit.

Phrenology making a come back. It’s the era of snake oil.

I guess the poster tells us whose dream you’re advancing. No thanks.

This sort of stuff is why we all know that the financial excuse for caving to the Trump demands was B.S..

Now that the Department of Defense has been renamed the Department of War, is it time to rename the Department of Justice into the Department of Vengeance?

The Little-Noted Trump-DOJ Move That Should Scare the Hell Out of You The Justice Department is looking at criminal charges against local election officials who don’t “safeguard” their systems. And yes, it’s as bad as it sounds.

"The message is simple: Help run an election that Trump loses, and we will come for you."

Image calls on national guard and active military to honor their oath and not violate the constitutional rights of US citizens. They can call the GI rights hotline to report. 877-447-4487

Reminder to National Guard and US Military: you swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and this regime is setting you up to be their fascist storm troopers. Don’t fall for it. Stand up for the American people!

The military isn’t supposed to cheer for cable news hosts.
