Fetterman isn't even religious like that!

This is such a bad misunderstanding of the fault lines here. Talarico’s religiosity is not the chud religion thing. He’s a liberal Protestant seminarian. You don’t have to like it to see what the difference is.

“They’re basically torturing people into signing off on their own deportation,” said one attorney.

Superb, deeply reported story, via @charpentier.bsky.social

It's a Chud's Life

Woke up late last night to a friend's text saying to look up the news, doesn't matter which channel, and thought the Big One had happened. But it turned out that Smiling Friends ended

@jamescrane.bsky.social I know you've seen this

The cover for the Japanese translation of adorno and horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment is impossibly raw

Trump's mass deportations really are a Forever War. It'll take 3 presidential terms at current pace. The prison camps are a new carceral state. It has its own growing public-private bureaucracy: Contractors, mercenary army, etc. 6/

Boots, that's my ego boost! 🤩

I think, as far as generative AI goes, I am less interested by the question whether or not these tools are capable of thought or intelligence, but what their development, as well as the way they are marketed and discussed publicly, tell us about what people think thought is.

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

Since we now know just how involved Thiel and Epstein were I propose we refer to “Hallow” as “The Jeffrey Epstein Prayer App”

really good book by an important (but sadly not really talked about) Brazilian liberation theologian. Also useful for "religious groups" taken in the most general sense (not just religious communities or orders as the name might imply):

Common Augustinian win

As evil as the Roman Republic was, 30 percent of the Senate died during the Second Punic War. They were not insulated from the consequences of imperialism. Can't say that for Iraq. The decadence of the imperial subject shows itself in wanting the benefits of plunder without facing its consequences

This is the common trajectory for many empires. The fruits of empire entail the depersonalization of violence and insulation from its consequences for its most privelleged castes. It's why Augustine argues that the punishment of empire is spiritual stupidity for most of its subjects

"excuse me sir, there must be some mistake- i voted to create the camps, not live in the zone of interest" is like every trump voter

The “Adorno & Communism?” seminar series starts next week! Excited to talk about these texts with you all!

Season 1 was great but they really whiffed the pacing + adaptation for Season 2
