When they say “a free democratic Venezuela,” as I have heard CNN contributors mouth over the past half hour, they mean “a capitalist Venezuela.”

Spineless fear of the ghost of “objectively pro-Saddam” looms over the Democratic responses to this (a phrase for which the vapid totalitarian soul of Andrew Sullivan, apology or no, should burn in Hell forever).

By Wednesday Trump is going to be visibly irritated if reporters are still asking him questions about Venezuela.

Trump didn't even need to prime the US pundit class for months with weapons of mass destruction. Everything he's doing is illegal from bombing fishermen without evidence to invading a foreign country.
Yet all the "Maduro wasn't a good guy" justifications are pouring out now

Trump's chief contribution to American politics is revealing that you don't need a respectable veneer for evil, corrupt behavior. You can rob the bank, say you did it because you like money and you'll do it again, and challenge anyone to stop you
I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Elon Musk's accomplishments over the last year include starving thousands of people to death (and laughing about it) and creating Hitler AI that undresses children (and laughing about it). Is it time to do something about billionaires yet?

Saying ”Grok apologized” is like If I type “YOU’RE A BITCH” into Speak-And-Spell and tell you “Speak-An-Spell says you’re a bitch”
Parker's piece nails why this matters. "Tech companies... would rather not answer for their products’ failures. Every headline that says “Grok apologizes” or “Grok admits” or “Grok says” creates a world where the chatbot takes the fall while Musk and his executives face no scrutiny whatsoever."
I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story

just received word that onions have been ranked the "number one vegetable" of 2025. that makes 7,448 years in a row of the humble allium placing in the top 3, a stretch of unrivaled dominance that is unlikely to ever be beaten by other greats like cabbage or chili pepper
