“222 years ago today, Jean-Jacques Dessalines led Haitian forces into the Battle of Vertières, where they defeated the French and gained independence.” ⚽🇭🇹
"Let's go to Haiti, and how history repeats itself."
This moment last night on Paramount+'s Golazo Show
narrating the November 18, 1803 Battle of Vertières and connecting it to Haiti's qualification for the World Cup was perhaps my favorite moment of sporting commentary ever.

Moral and ethical arguments against AI have made headway with students, but neither have produced quite the immediate, visceral reaction as: “what are you going to do when the internet goes out!?”

Final sessions of the semester coming up in my piracy class. Finishing with digital piracy, radical open access, and generative AI (Meta, OpenAI et al taking open access materials to train LLMs). Discussion questions coming in and we’re connecting to enclosure, the commons, public good …LFG!!

“Dissident” literature, my foot. This is vile, toxic fare.
I'm sort of fascinated that Rod Dreher basically hates the groypers while basically advocating everyone he knows (including the Vice President) read Camp of the Saints which basically is bigoted in its own right:

The 1973 dystopian apocalyptic French novel that inspires today's violent white, rightwing populism.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Have I mentioned lately that Heritage has a journalism fellowship named after the Guardabassi family, the male head of which was one of Mussolini's emissaries in the US in the 1930s, while his wife was a leading funder of US antisemites & neo-Nazis in the 1950s-60s? “Our own people.”

The single biggest determining factor of whether you paid to tear down the East Wing is how much you're spending on data centers this year. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Big Tech helped bankroll the East Wing destruction
Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and Google have a lot riding on their relationships with the Trump administration. They all cut checks for the ballroom.
