This is 100% the truth
The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.
MAGA voted for the Book of Revelations, and we’re getting it.

Really spectacular levels of incompetence. Do they just not coordinate at all once they’re on the ground? God forbid someone have to carry two radios
Someone captured the Los Angeles radio scanner traffic from yesterday, where LAPD came under impact munitions fire from LA Sheriffs when both departments violently converged on peaceful protesters from two sides.

Being cool is great but having somewhere to be cool in the future depends entirely on linking arms with some silly cringe right now

Caffeinated from a late night drive and freaked out by *how* bad the coverage of Trump Sec Def Pete Hegseth is, I decided to start reading his new book, The War on Warriors. A thread. The new Pentagon chief begins by bragging he was pushed out for being an "extremist"... 1/

imagine a world where instead of being friendly and doing interviews with fox news, you instead go scorched earth on the gop propaganda machine and destroy their credibility with the very voters you need to win elections

Having read the Federalist papers reluctantly, this is literally the thing the founding fathers feared more than anything, a demagogue with a factious temper and sinister designs mobilizing ignorant mobs to undermine government.

Every time I see someone say there won't be elections in 2028 I am stung with stasis between "this is the most violent aggrieved armed populace alive" and "there's never been a bigger bunch of cowed treat eating babies."

Just listened to the Logical Song for the first time in years. It was on heavy radio rotation when I was in elementary school, and I loved it so much.
But I forgot how much it freaked me out too. I was 7 and thought "yeah, when I was young..." sweet but chilling then and now

Completely unfathomable if you think of it as AI but absolutely obvious if you think of it as autocorrect on steroids.
And this is why the "intelligence" part of AI is such a misnomer.
Lol an archaeology website had an AI write an article on the scimitar and they accidentally scraped a Dungeons and Dragons description.

We had a good ten years where a bunch of nobodies like us could report on power centers and structural inequality and abuses of power and citizens from government, employers and their surrogates. The end of Twitter as that vehicle really was the end of that, which was obviously the point.
