This pricks entire business model is built on the theft of intellectual property of millions of artists living and deceased. Known facts!! of course it's also inadvertently and indiscriminately destroying entire creative and artistic eco-systems. These tech-bros only know how to rape and pillage.

If you want to live under a king, you ultimately wish to be a slave to that person’s commands.
If you want to live under a democracy, you wish to be free to do anything that’s allowed under the law.
The people who want authoritarianism don’t feel confident enough to live with real freedom.

It’s kind of wild how much this guy looks like the character Leland from Evil, who is the devil’s earthly henchman.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

need to saturate ads on every platform with images and videos of this stuff, with a simple tag or text "The good guys don't do this"
A video surfaced showing the brutalization of community members by ICE and the St. Paul, Minnesota PD after ICE abducted two of their neighbors. As a result of the chemical munitions and police beatings, eight people, including a journalist, were hospitalized. 11/25/25

dems in congress shouldn't stop talking about how noem must resign and face consequences for this atrocity
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.
The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.
The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

A random WWII hot take
If Patton* were in charge of commanding Operation Market Garden, it would've achieved all its operational goals**
*Far from Patton's biggest fan, a flawed but quite good operational commander
**Another hottake: OMG wasn't a "failure"; it just wasn't maximally successful.

My MTG take is that she’s got a better paying gig on the way.
Congress is a launching pad for an influencer/pundit career for these folks.
Will be genuinely surprised if she retreats into private life.

Of course. This may in fact happen by midnight. The thing is that Mamdani will be able to say 'well that's not what he said when I met with him' and keep it moving.
Thing is, when Mamdani does something early next year that challenges some Trump admin nonsense, you *know* that Trump is going be extra angry and suggest it's a backstabbing, noting how "nice" he was to him in the Oval Office as if that means Mamdani should now agree to all of Trump's demands.

This is a level of blood libeling of immigrants (and their citizen children, being lumped in as 'illegals') comparable to the demonization of Tutsis in the time immediately preceding the Rwandan Genocide, or the libels against Jews in the buildup to the Holocaust.

When they say Trump calling a reporter "piggy" is "just being honest," they are revealing a key feature of the reactionary mind: it believes, at a deep brainstem level, that *everyone* is awful & selfish & ugly on the inside. Everyone just suppresses it out of fear of social disapproval. Not Trump!

One of the key insights of Sefton Delmer, a WWII British propagandist, had about Nazi's when he was a journalist during the interwar period in Germany, was that Hitler & the party gave people permission to live out/play out their most sadistic desires.
