Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

Rowan's own college admission story is: he was pre-law at Cornell but didn't like the coursework so he called Penn and they said sure and put him into the Wharton undergrad program.
Maybe that explains why he thinks university admissions are a joke: his was.

Critics including Elon Musk have assailed my @cato.org colleague Alex Nowrasteh's study finding that most politically motivated terrorist killings in the U.S. since 1975 have been done by persons on the right. Alex responds to the critics here and explains his methods and classifications.

Being interviewed by Terry Gross ruined all other interviewers for me.
"Well prepared" doesn't even begin to cover it, and she is just so generous in the conversation.
It's like playing tennis with Serena Williams but she only wants to keep the volley going as long as possible.

You'll notice that a key trick of Trump's immigration psyop is Miller's lie that Trump was only going after "criminals."
I know why you didn't believe it. However, these people did, which is why they appear in court. And so did ICE, which is why Miller screamed at them to target Home Depots.

I know it's easy and makes people feel better to mock Trump voters—like these Latinos in Florida—who voted for the Colonel and got fried chicken. But it's essentially science denial. Propaganda works. It screws brains. It makes people who think they're decent do horrific things.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

There are so many more of us than there are of them. That has to be worth something. That's worth something right? You would think someone could do something with that fact.
