the prosecution and border patrol did 1000 hours of trial prep for his testinony and β€œit got a little dribbly at the bottom” was the best thing they came up with.

but on the upside the border patrol guy ended up with sandwich-related ptsd.

From Pinochet in Chile, to Somoza in Nicaragua, to the military juntas across Latin America β€” Washington literally trained the region’s worst dictators at U.S. military academies like the School of the Americas.

Hillary Clinton on the generational shift on Israel inside the Democrats.
"We have done a miserable job teaching young people history.
"And, you know, those of us who have lived through it, I went to Israel for the first time in 1980, so a long time ago, and I've been back many times. And obviously, you know, with my husband, deeply involved in all kinds of activities to support Israel and to try to be as helpful as possible. But it was astonishing to me because I had so many conversations, and frankly, they often started as confrontations with students, not just at Columbia, but elsewhere.
"Where were they getting their information?
They were getting it from social media. They were getting it most particularly from TikTok, which is governed by an algorithm until at least up till now, still largely manipulated by the Chinese Communist Party.

What Hillary is saying here is a conspiracy theory and not even a tame, silly one, but a whopper. A more balefully consequential and widespread one than e.g. Trump complaining that the media lied about his crowds being big.

People are like β€œMamdani can’t do the things he promises” and you gotta stop saying stupid shit like that. Like free your mind from this cancerous nihilistic ideology that good things are impossible. I know you think it’s reasonable optimism or something but it is actually deeply cynical.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Sparkly trans flag with blur effect in the center so the pink and blue make a subtle lavender. 
Featured is a trans great horned owl named Kiwi. Next to him is lavender text saying, "THIS PAGE IS PRO TRANS RIGHTS".
There is a rainbow infinity sign logo with a black and brown eye in each of the two centers. Under the eyes in pastel brown text reads "Actually" and "Owltistic".

For as long as I can remember the promise was that AI and robots would do the dulll and dangerous manual labour jobs, not the fun and fulfilling jobs.
What the fuck happened to that, huh?

one might wonder about the motivations of the powerful who are highly incentivized to replace humans with cheaper and more tractable labor, and why THEY might feel motivated to argue that LLMs are Intellectually and Morally Equal to Humans, But Conveniently Only In Ways That Make Us Even More Money

I distributed all 150 copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE Philly edition" at Philly Zine Fest yesterday and at least 5 people returned to ask me if it was OK for them to print their own copies to distribute. I responded with an enthusiastic YES - that's the point and I hope everyone does so.

Thank you everyone for helping us hitting 120% goal so fast! Bundle's been updated with our new, second goal. As always, the bundle's transfem-majority so you'll be helping a lot of trans women (multiple of color) eat, pay bills, and survive a difficult time.
