A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

A first-ever humorous episode of The Dig: TrueAnon’s Brace Belden and Liz Franczak on our freakish, reactionary tech oligarchy. Musk and friends built a technological infrastructure that warped everyone’s minds (including their own). Now they’re seizing the state. www.thedigradio.com/podcast/slop...

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

What we’re seeing is not the pendulum swinging back toward the right after the left went too far. We’re seeing a moral panic, a society-wide assault on a phantom leftist who wants to ban Dr. Seuss and arrest you for using the wrong pronouns and put kitty litter boxes in classrooms.

I am worried this is going to become the conventional wisdom over the next four years: If those pesky college students and activists and SJWs hadn't over-reached, Trump II never would have happened.

It is nonsense.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

On edge during every Super Bowl commercial dreading the inevitable AI twist. Could Big Brothers & Big Sisters be using AI to find good matches? Is Instacart powered by AI? Is that AI Jesus telling me not to hate people?

There are some ridiculously cool shots in last nights stream. The way Goedde's lights in the wide shot create a frame is sick

It's really about claiming the right to assert raw power at every single level: economically, militarily and inside the family. It's mass social engineering.

This brings us to the concept of chosenness, which is at the dead centre of this admin -from the tech oligarchs to the white nationalists.

I feel like I can pretty solidly slot about 25-35 jams, but everything after that's gets real muddy -- probably could put any of ~50 jams into the back half of the playlist

This one gets overshadowed by the Arrow and Creatures later in the show, but it’s still really good and fun

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.
