One half of the country basically descended into madness at the idea that you could actually reelect the person of color.

2012 is when Republicans developed the unbreakable intuition that they were entitled to win elections notwithstanding what the voters said.

The media smeared Mitt Romney as Hitler. Then Republicans thought, well we might as well run Hitler.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

"The most ubiquitous form of American culture nowadays is not jazz programming going out on shortwave radio across Eurasia, but the social-media platforms that pump conspiracy theories, extremism, advertising, pornography, and spam into every corner of the globe."

"We always think about America’s postwar role in Europe as an act of great generosity, the defense of allies from Soviet aggression. But by putting democracy at the center of our international identity, we also helped strengthen our own political system"

The Beacon of Democracy Goes Dark

For nearly 250 years, America promoted freedom and equality abroad, even when it failed to live up to those ideals itself. Not anymore.

Leadership looks like repeating the truth again and again and refusing to back down to bullies and pressure.

It looks like using your platform and leverage-- whatever it may be -- for the larger good.

So grateful to Pritzker and everyone else modeling this now.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

The worst living child rapist treated like an exiled queen while they bust the windows of moms in line to pick up their third graders.

On a weekend in mid-August, hundreds of inmates at a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, were locked down during their usual time for strolling the grassy campus and visiting with family and friends.
All except one: Ghislaine Maxwell, the 63-year-old associate of Jeffrey Epstein convicted for her role in helping him sexually abuse underage teens.
While her fellow inmates were confined to their dormitories after breakfast, Maxwell met with several visitors in the federal prison camp’s chapel, according to people familiar with the matter.
Less than three weeks earlier, the Justice Department had moved Maxwell to Federal Prison Camp Bryan from a higher-security facility in Tallahassee, Fla. Under Federal Bureau of Prisons rules, prisoners with sex-crime convictions like Maxwell’s don’t ordinarily qualify to serve their time in such camps.
The transfer followed an interview with senior Justice Department official Todd Blanche during which Maxwell said she had never seen President Trump, during his long association with Epstein, doing anything inappropriate or illegal.
Maxwell’s unexpected arrival upset the camp’s usually relaxed atmosphere, leading to more frequent lockdowns, the addition of armed guards and other changes. Current and former inmates said in interviews that Maxwell appeared to receive unusually favorable treatment at times, sparking resentment from other inmates.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Graphic design is my passion

It's a fake book cover for Emerie from the Bad Batch called "Kaminoan Secrets". Vaguely VC Andrews style, with the simple symbolic fence in the foreground, and Kamino all raining in the background, and cursive font. Emerie's face is shown. This is not great art just generic photoshop kinda stuff.

Blueprint

4 frame comic. an woman with grey hair and a yellow scarf is getting interviewed on the street. the interviewer asks : ma'am! what do you
think of the radical left
fearmongering that
we could someday see
fascism in the u.s.?
she replies :
dear
boy, the u.s. has
been a blueprint
for fascism all
along.
hitler specifically cited
jim crow, u.s. anti-miscege-
nation and white-only immi-
gration laws as inspiration
for his eugenics policies.
germany sent people to study
what was being done in the
u.s. to export it over there.
in the 30s, tens of thousands
of americans attended massive
rallies by fascist groups such as
the friends of new germany or
the german american bund.

then in the 40s, two dozen
congresspeople were charged with
sedition for planning a fascist
overthrow of the government.
and since wwII, the
amount of fascist groups
and militias has been
exponential.
not only can
fascism come to
the u.s., it has
always been an
inherent part
of american
society.

Everything makes more sense when you think in terms of audience capture and remember that the whole of Western culture has pivoted on the mentality and feelings of Boomers since the mid-60s because there were simply MORE of them than anybody else before or after. Our world feels senile bc THEY are.

It’s no wonder that Trump has such a twisted view of war and sacrifice. And the utility of bribes.

Donald was seven years old, and his father was brought before a U.S. Senate committee investigating abuses in a housing program for war veterans and middle class families. President Eisenhower had been outraged to learn of the bribes that developers paid to bureaucrats and of the alleged profiteering practiced by Trump and others. Ike called them "sons of bitches."
As federal investigators had discovered, the elder Trump had collected an extra $1.7 million in rent-equivalent to $15 million today-before beginning to pay back his low-cost government loan. He was able to do this because a bureaucrat named Clyde Powell approved the paperwork.
Powell, who had never been paid more than a modest government salary, had mysteriously amassed a small fortune. (While it was clear Powell accepted bribes, the sources were never officially identified.) In addition to collecting the extra rent, Trump paid himself a substantial architect's fee. And he charged inflated rents based on an estimate of construction costs that was far greater than what he actually spent. All of this was legal, even if it did victimize taxpayers, veterans, and other renters.

So the government's case against Letitia James is that she she bought a house for a family member to live in rent-free and visited said family frequently, but that she should have declared it as a for-profit rental to Fannie Mae? And they expect a conviction on that?
