Genuinely it rocks that a bunch of dudes whose sole media diet is action thrillers and who have never read an academic nonfiction book have convinced the investor class to bet the entire U.S. economy on a gamble that relies on an untested technology raising productivity more than electricity did

We are just going to keep smashing apart the foundations of the modern world until we feel like we imagined we would have felt in 1950 again, and we don't care how many people we kill or how much value we destroy to do it.
Trevor Phillips proposes banning "remittances" (ie: imposing currency/exchange controls on international cash transfers by foreign nationals from Britain). He says this would disincentivise immigration, in a Times piece saying the Home Secretary needs to go [much] further

That video wasn't even all that remarkable, other politicians and public figures have already said similar things. It probably would have been quickly forgotten. But the obsessive deranged over-reaction shows how they really are spooked about the possibility of refusing unlawful orders.

This is all so ludicrously improper and meritless on so many levels, I'd bet the likelier result is nothing more comes of it beyond this purely performative bluster, because Hegseth has no idea what he's doing and they'd struggle to find literally anybody in uniform willing to move forward with it.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Bought a kid a hot wheels track set yesterday and its easily the best $50 I’ve spent this week.

Finally getting somewhere, Tom
The issue isn't who gets representation, it's that once you start unwinding federalism, why stop at presidential elections? Why bother having "states" at all other than as national administrative boundaries?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?
Sorry, but this is nonsensical. Federalism isn't a binary. Elect the President by national popular vote and both the little and the big empty states STILL get overrepresented in the Senate, which, need I remind you, confirms judicial and other nominations.

the last brain cell running the switch board in trump’s brain just smashing that “groceries is an old fashioned word” button
Trump on Mamdani: "We had some interesting conversation and some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have. But a big thing on cost. The new word is 'affordability.' Another word is just 'groceries.' It's sort of an old fashioned word but it's very accurate."

Would be lovely if anyone learned the lesson of "saying Dems are as bad as the GOP gets the GOP in power, where they inevitably do a lot of stuff that is worse than even your parody version of the Dems would do" from last year, but it is more important to be mean to people you've decided are "libs."

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Olivia Nuzzi is a bad writer, and I am entirely unimpressed with her sexual roster. It sits perfectly fine within my personal ethos to slut-shame anyone who chooses to lay with the detestable. Fucking the cretinous or having biblical knowledge of the contemptible is simply a bad use of a good time.
Anti-vaxxers exposing Hays Code ass diseases to the general public is antisocial behavior that at one point would have required compulsory isolation and social exile. Instead, the Raw Milk Typhoid Mary community is allowed to continue their dunderheaded agenda unabated. Unsettles my spirit.
