Fwiw, I think Democrats could run on a Project 2029 that is a slate of reforms to make sure Project 2025 style attacks on the functioning/accountability of government never happen again and it would be enormously popular.

This morning I sat down to a church pancake breakfast with two neighbors who both work for Catholic aid charities and they talked about the work they’re doing now and it was a powerful reminder that there are so many more good Americans than awful ones, we have only to find one another

Sitting in a comfortable home with a steady income; living a life of almost unbearable tedium and routine; fantasizing about the psychopathologies potentially unleashed by the fall of civil society, the only freedom still possible for him.

Trump's dementia has grown so extreme that a select group of advisors are now running the country without his input. To find who those advisors are and what their plans are, buy my new book, which will appear in March 2029.

You answered the question in your first post with your second post.

"Supreme Court will ultimately decide whether to uphold the Constitution"

There’s a reason he pulled Optimus out his buttocks just as growth at Tesla went to zero, and there a reason why he’s forcing the “robotaxi” pump out now.

It actually seems like the confluence of two noxious trends - one new, one old as time. It reads like a press release put together by the band’s management (using AI) that the pub just printed as is with minimal vetting (I.e., quickly grabbing pull quotes).

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

lol this went about as well as I expected.

Now that Vanity Fair dropped Nuzzi can we have Teen Vogue back?

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Vital Cat Update It’s time to talk about my cat. To which you might be saying, “Chuck, I didn’t know you had a cat!” and I’d respond with, “I didn’t know I had a cat either…

AI is so awesome. I’m so glad the entire tech industry - nay, the ENTIRE ECONOMY - is being built around this wondrous technology.

This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurate—in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

Bad Dye Job It might have made some sense to bring someone from the fashion/brand world to lead software design for Apple Watch, but it sure didn’t seem to make sense for the rest of Apple’s platforms. And the decade of Dye’s HI leadership has proven it.
