Basically every middle to high-income country has its own Trump. And you can't say they were just imitating us, because many of theirs had careers going back to before 2016
guy looking at America in a world where right-wing populists are sweeping elections everywhere: actually this is entirely because Americans are dumb and uneducated

Really would like someone more insane* than me to chart out whose got connections/owes/loyalty to who in this administration

*I say this specifically because this would involve contemplating a lot of incredibly Keter-tier cognitohazard "who is fucking who" questions within the administration

This makes me think of an antiphon from Lent rather than Advent: “They divided my clothes among each other, and for my robe did they cast lots”
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Tbh I’m also skeptical of claims that we just can’t ban GenAI because you can fire up a deepseek/qwen instance on last generations consumer GPUs but it also makes me skeptical we’ll be able to do anything about any job market or social fabric disruption as caused by AI.
Academics literally cannot make Gen AI go away. As in it is not possible to make it happen on a political, legal, and technical level. We do not and will not command the massive violence necessary to make chatGPT or Claude disappear. Responsible pedagogy grapples with the fact!
No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

Sinatra wouldn't play venues unless they allowed Sammy Davis Jr to perform with him and the rest of his crew. During the 50s, peak segregation times. And Frank would always throw his weight around for black entertainers

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

The bloody ghost of my ancestor Lt. John Bacon, shot dead by a redcoat musket during the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775, appeared at the side of my bed last night and said anyone can be American as long as they aren’t English

The funny thing is that definitions of America based on ancestry leads to Obama to be more American than Trump.

Obama is a direct descendent (on his mother's side) of Mareen Duvall, who arrived in America as an indentured servant in 1659. And yet...
For those not following at home, “Heritage American” is a category of white supremacy covering people whose ancestors were white folks who were pioneers.

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?

If I remember rightly this character is Mughal which makes this exceptionally funny. Brb googling “gunpowder empire”
I do not think a willingness to use guns for conquest is a distinctively British trait, but so far this book has not for a moment considered that it isn’t. The characters making this claim are torn only because they’re hypocrites for being at Oxford, not because it’s, you know, historically bonkers
