The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.
yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.
Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Several states have issued orders or taken similar actions to protect access to COVID vaccines including: CO, MA, MD, MN, NM, NY, PA, WA
Please call your Governor's office and demand that they take action to make sure COVID vaccines are accessible to everyone!

Have always thought something like this was going on with the Epstein / Les Wexner connection
Crockett: There were lots of modeling agencies that were doing things and the modeling agency was basically a farce. And there's a lot of people that we want to talk to. And a lot of these models came from foreign countries. I'm going to just leave it there.

We’re quite deep within the Singularity right now, though it’s turned out be the Singularity of Stupid (SoS), which effectively prevents the original concept of the Singularity from happening.

Very good thread here about the right's response to Covid
The COVID-19 pandemic undermined the right in several key ways:
1) It showed us which workers are essential and empowered them.
2) It showed that the markets can’t solve everything.
2) It threatened GOP political prospects in a critical election.
4) Government relief proved popular and effective

I used to read Isaac Chotiner’s interviews with a bit of glee, as it was enjoyable to see him flay pretty crappy people with their own words. And now reading them feels a lot emptier, as there don’t seem to be any consequences other than the interview itself for brazen lying or deception.

We should talk about the Powell Memo more. One of the defining turning points of this country. Gonna check out this book.
Justice Powell wrote the 5-4 ruling letting corporations buy elections.
Just before, tobacco execs held a gala for Powell & gave him judicial robes with corporate logos on them.
Our new book uncovers never-before-seen photos & documents of this MASTER PLAN.

Michael Brooks would have turned 42 today. Here he is flawlessly explaining why the Israel Palestine situation is not complicated. Why it's not even asymmetrical warfare, but an occupation.
Rest in peace Michael. You were the best of us.

Useful to remember half these experts were saying we'd be living in the Metaverse most waking hours by now and that Web 3 and NFTs would completely reinvent society.
I still don't understand how ostensible experts are saying we're only a few years away from true AGI (or even superintelligence). Analytical AI/ML is ultimately just statistical modeling and analysis, and generative AI is just auto-correct amped up a bunch.
