I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

Volkswagen lured hundreds of seasonal and informal workers to the Amazon in the 1970s and 80s, with the promise of a better life.

But once there, the workers said, they were trapped — geographically isolated, ensnared by debt, sickened by malaria and forced to toil under threat of violence.

Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job

One thing I appreciate about the Fetterman piece is the admission at the beginning from Jentleson the “heterodox” “punch left” strategy was the plan all along and his ideological positions aren’t a result of a medical condition.

Exclusive: The Pentagon will resume gender-affirming care for transgender service members, according to a memo we obtained.

My friend works for the VA and got this “Task Force on Anti-Christian Bias” email from their bosses today. Absolutely bananas stuff.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

it worries me when the narrative about trump is that “it’s dumbasses that don’t know what they’re doing”. they know exactly what they’re doing. peter thiel is a close ally of trump and owns JD vance. peter thiel is a believer in curtis yarvin thought, which is 100% in line with what’s happening

To me the most importing thing about today is that they knew what this would do to the market, and did it anyway.

If nothing else, that ought to tell you what time it is.

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

Anyway, now that a Texan like Al Green has your attention, I need you “Abandon the South” Liberals in particular to eat shit.

You: Oh my god the house is on fire!

Me (wise, has read books): And you're surprised? Houses have been on fire before [as the flames consume us both] Furthermore,

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.
