Epstein island guest says fellow billionaires will end the world more quickly in other ways than the pollution they profit off of.

Elon Musk tweets: "Just saw this in a conference room at Tesla Global Engineering HQ in Palo Alto" The attached photo shows a dripping graffiti-style spray-painted text on a wall, which reads: The Future is Autonomous

kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning

"In the fiction of Halo, the Flood is a parasitic creature...

Immigrants stand in for the Flood while the Gravemind stands in for the Jews, creating a perfect metaphor for the far-right that allows them to target to of their traditional enemies with exterminationist rhetoric"

The Trump Media & Technology Group, which controls the social media platform, on Tuesday announced it would partner with Crypto.com to introduce “Truth Predict”, which would allow users “to react instantly to developments in major current events”.  Crypto.com previously donated $11mn to Trump causes. Earlier this year the Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the company, and on Friday, it announced that it applied for a US bank charter. In August, TMTG also signed a multibillion-dollar deal to buy Cronos, the tokens issued by Crypto.com, which sent their price soaring. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets — with Truth Predict, we’re democratising information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” said Devin Nunes, TMTG’s head.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?

Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape The proposed site where Utah plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people outside of Salt Lake City. State officials promise large-scale involuntary addiction and mental health treatment at Salt Lake City’s edge. Critics see “a prison, or a warehouse.”

To glimpse the future of homelessness policy in the age of President Trump, consider 16 acres of scrubby pasture on the outskirts of Salt Lake City where the state plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people in what supporters call a services campus and critics deem a detention camp.

Purge, Merge, and Surge Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

One of the writers best explaining Trumpism right now is not a full-time writer, but @donmoyn.bsky.social, an academic and professor. The Times should give him a column. But for now, you can read his great stuff via his newsletter. Another sharp piece here.

Billionaires should not exist. Hoarding all the money is not only bad for everyone else but clearly it rots your brain.

An illustration that says frogs against fascism. A person in a frog costume (reminiscent of the photo that looked like this scene from Portland recently) standing in front of a group of militarized and masked officers. A word bubble says Fuck ICE.

Fuck ICE, today and every day.
