This is a truly remarkable moment. Simultaneously debunking Kristi Noem’s lie in real-time and elevating the story of a veteran who was deported under Trump & Noem’s dehumanizing, belligerent deportation policy.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

You've been hit by a car and you're fading in and out. You ask the EMTs to price the ambulance ride. You get to the ER and tell the docs you'll need a price on each service before it's done. You get cancer so it's time to put treament out to competitive bid. I can keep going...
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

"However, we notice -- based on the social comments and international media coverage -- that for many guests this period is 'the most wonderful time of the year.'"

They had to read socials for that? I swear corporate pressure to negate reality is getting stronger by the minute.

One of my fav game dev stories ever: For the 10 MINUTE Qwark Opera level in Secret Agent Clank, the devs had forgotten to ask Jim Ward to prep for singing.

When he found out, he said "huh, hold on" & sang the entire thing in nearly A SINGLE TAKE.

New! We worked with the Public Interest Research Group to test a bunch of LLM-driven toys ahead of the Christmas. That sexual talking teddy bear wasn't a one-off; it turns out disturbing behavior is deeply built into these toys across the board.
AI toys for kids talk about sex and issue Chinese Communist Party talking points, tests show
New research from Public Interest Research Group and tests conducted by NBC News found that a wide range of AI toys have loose guardrails.

Most profound writing I read in 2026 was "The Emotional Labor Behind AI Intimacy" by a Nairobi man who dreamed of working in air traffic control but instead winds up sexting & chatting w ppl who think they're talking to AI (while AI trains on him). 16 pages & free - READ IT data-workers.org/michael/

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."

It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

"the tech is inevitable" is not the winning argument you think it is in this debate*

Wouldn't white people love to believe they have created in white supremacy a system that just too complex for the layman to understand. You've dehumanized Black people & more to justify society's brutality to them. It's clear cut & a five year old Black kid knows it better than you.

I am tired of people positing the possibility of AI obtaining sentience. It is literally not happening, and it is literally impossible. This is how AI psychosis takes root. Stop it, stop it, stop it.

These companies are so vehemently against people making memories for the holidays. What's funny is that you can feel the executive loneliness in this. Literal scrooges making these ads because "how can people possibly be HAPPY during holidays?!" The misery of immense wealth fueled this ad.

I am still a little surprised how quickly I got radicalized from "maybe this will be useful for something" to "oh this is DEMON SHIT burn it to the ground."
