President Maduro of Venezuela has urged the people of the United States to stop the “reckless hand” giving the orders for bombings
“Stop the war! No to war! The people of the United States must play a decisive role in preventing a tragedy for all of the Americas.”

COVID has answered my long-standing question of why the 1918 flu left so little record in the literature. It turns out learning you and your loved ones are subject to culling by nature red in tooth and claw is an intensely unpleasant experience and people prefer to memory hole it.
There is no national mourning that can keep people from hitting skip or turning the TV off. There is nothing so solemn as to stop pundits from enveloping it in hooting farce. And there is no memorial that isn't converted, sooner or later, into celebration. America doesn't know how to grieve.
There was things though? Before Biden's inauguration there was lights and a ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial (no crowds due restrictions. And then a year later Biden spoke at the White House and there were candles on the steps. (link to that one in the reply to this)

Awful day for music fans. If you aren’t familiar with Todd Snider, I don’t blame you. He was a giant in a genre of music that barely exists anymore - but I can count on one hand the artists who wrote more great songs this century than he did.

In Northfield, Minnesota, masked ICE GOONS violently abducted a father. The Goons smashed a car window, beat and dragged the man at gunpoint, while his teenage son filmed the incident and begged them to stop. The father has not been seen since. (November 11, 2025)

Key point whenever you see an Altman prediction: the purpose of his predictions is *not* to accurately guess the future but build rationales in the present favorable to his company's interests. If you ignore everything he says you'll be smarter about AI.
Altman, and all these folks don't make predictions in order to predict the future, they make them to a) justify an overclocked corporate valuation, and b) argue for undoing regulations and receiving government support.

2/🧵 New piece with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social in @NewRepublic: We analyzed 60,000+ respondents in the 2024 Cooperative Election Study. Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation. The generational shift overwhelms the education divide that supposedly defines modern politics.
The Shocking Truth About Gen Z Voters Is That They’re Pretty Great
Stop panicking: They are the most progressive generation ever, especially on race. If that surprises you, you’ve been listening to the wrong story.
