The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

Elon Musk tweet: VOTE CUOMO! Trump Tracker reply: This is the third sexual assaulter you have endorsed. Which is not a lot, but weird it has happened three times. Elon Musk reply: Do you have a better suggestion?

Here's what that looked like. Tactical excellence.

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

It was a gorgeous day.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Also, the fact that Trump or whoever has his hand up his ass is trying to force Thune to nuke the filibuster and re-open the government suggests that the WH has worked out that they can't actually dissolve parliament and reign as monarchs.

Donald Trump or whoever controls his account screaming WE MUST TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER OR WE LOSE ELEVENTY BILLION ELECTIONS doesn't radiate "They don't think any of this matters and they'll just rig the elections" to me IDK.

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face the right way.

by Ezra Klein

Remember that time Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face and then the guy had to go on TV and apologise for how being shot in the face made Dick Cheny look bad?

Dick Van Dyke has OUTLIVED Dick Cheney

May his name be blotted out and forgotten.

May the names of the innocents slaughtered for his greed live on forever.

Dick Cheney was proud to have normalized state-sponsored torture. That, and the dead of Iraq in an unjust war, constitute his entire legacy. “That’s not funny” is a meme-y cliche but I don’t care about the friend he shot or our jokes about it. Cheney is Kissinger level. He made the world worse.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

Abbott's joke about putting a tariff on people makes sense if you read it in the context of hoping to be able to own people again.

Fridge magnet with cartoon sheep and alpaca and the words “STFU About Chicago.”

I don’t appear in this video but I was at my local yarn store when it was filmed. Trump may be a malignant cancer on this country but it is heartening to see people pulling together to protect their community. abc7chicago.com/amp/post/ice...

It is obeisance to the shareholder above all.

It is the Friedman Doctrine, spread like a plague across all of capitalism.

And it will be the ruin of us all.

Capitalism has become an ouroboros.

(If there is a hell, I often wonder if Milton Friedman is roasting there, baffled as to why.)

WHY would they cost too much? WHY would you have to charge so much?

“Because it isn’t enough to make a profit. We have to make an OBSCENE PROFIT - & we have to show GROWTH every year. Even if it means laying off workers when we’re MAKING A PROFIT. Because we aren’t making ENOUGH of a profit."

Lack of well-paying blue-collar jobs, since corporations moved them overseas where they could pay slave wages.

BUT WHY MUST YOU PAY SLAVE WAGES?

“Because if we paid you what you expect in the US, our goods would cost too much & you wouldn’t be able to afford them.”

But...

The absence of cost of living adjustments for workers while salaries of executives & CEO’s skyrocketed

Rent prices more than doubling after the S&L crisis & the housing bubble/bust of 2008.

Longer life expectancy, & the attendant skyrocketing medical costs (with no universal healthcare).

“WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE NEED WELFARE & FOOD ASSISTANCE?”

The minimum wage is obscenely low.

If it had kept pace with worker productivity, as it did from WWII 'til Reagan, who began the GOP wreckage of the middle class Trump is completing, the minimum wage now would be just under $25 an hour.
