The foreign election interference that no one wants to talk about.
“The filings for the proposed campaign explain that the messages will reach their audience through ‘the largest geofencing campaign in U.S. history’—a pitch to map the physical perimeters of every major church and Christian college in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado during worship hours”

That's my last issue. Like much of legacy media they are struggling to write anything relevant, or even readable, by an adult. Unprepared to deal with shifting historical realities, siloed off, and isolated. Leaning on lessons from the Peloponnesian War because there is no new thought.

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

"Remove 100M people from the country at a time when one of the primary challenges the dev world faces is declining birthrates."
These guys are evil, obviously, but they're also just mind numbingly stupid. Every right wing policy is purpose-built to destroy American superiority in some regard.

Predator Badlands was dope but kind of disgusted by how out of focus the IMAX screen was. Also struck by how terrible the previews were...all slop designed for Netflix rather than feature films.

1/ A Russian soldier fighting near Pokrovsk says that the area is a scene of carnage, with dead Russians lying everywhere. Soldiers' families are being sent death notices even before the men go into assaults. Only four out of his group of 120 men survived one assault. ⬇️

there will be a prominent political assassin that did it bc of an unhealthy AI relationship.
I've noticed some people on Twitter are prone to arguing with Grok, posing leading questions to get Grok to confirm their most delusional, conspiratorial beliefs. I worry that this behavior + AI's politeness bias + lack of mental health services + widespread guns will lead to bad things.
First the terrorist tried to enter campus in a car filled with guns. When he wasn’t allowed past the gates, he started firing from a CVS drugstore across the street. From a semi-automatic weapon, 500 shots is a lot. He was at it for a long time.
Here are the weapons & shell casings he left behind.
