What does it mean to speak out? Do I need to say more than my beliefs to everyone I know? I fear that our world is so siloed that we won’t be able to get to each other. Nobody I know disagrees anymore.

Look at what people have done after using ChatGPT, dating it, killing people, killing themselves.
All because it’s designed to give positive reinforcement at all costs.
Now imagine being a billionaire that doesn’t know they lucked into it.

I know it’s tempting to believe but just because the rise in the popularity of unapologetic openly fascist ideology & the rise in the popularity of pickle ball have suspiciously coincided, the two things are probably only loosely related at best

The surprise invasion of Venezuela isn't imperial expansion driven by the dictates of capitalism; it is somehow even sicker. The Trump administration is behaving like gambling addicts chasing clout in an attention economy. Venezuela is a fucking meme stock. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.
Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

At what point does the public’s right to know about blatantly illegal actions override the safety of the people carrying out those actions? Probably somewhere before unilaterally kidnapping foreign rulers! Yikes!
(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

One of the most frustrating aspects of commodity speculation (especially in durable commodities) is how it fucking ruins it for anyone who wants to actually use the damn thing
When I started learning casting not even a decade ago silver was $20 an ounce. I'm nauseous, this sucks. The cost of basically half of what we sell is going to have to go up entirely because people are investing in silver bc they're worried about the economy.

The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.
