Everyone should watch this. Thanks to our friends in France for putting it in plain English in a way that seemingly no American broadcaster can. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k35P...

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face
“You’re a stupid person” — Trump lashes out at a reporter who presses him on the fact that the suspected DC shooter was actually thoroughly vetted before he was let in the US from Afghanistan

What the hell is this setup? He's sitting at a little folding table, covered with a black table cloth, a presidential seal awkwardly attached to the front, in a ballroom, the press kept a shoe's-throw distance away. It's bizarre.

What is really going on in this society that elected Donald Trump president a second time?
I wrote about three stubborn myths regarding Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election – and why America is experiencing a de-alignment rather than a rightward realignment:

The Myth of a Rightward Realignment
Let’s discard some stubborn misconceptions about Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election. They are only obscuring our understanding of a profound de-alignment.
As the piece is partially behind a paywall, I’ll share some key thoughts:

Sounds like someone who deserves a good journalism job and an NYT glow-up to promote her book!
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

I have a TV show idea, @mtsw.bsky.social. It's called "San Francisco Superior," kind of like "General Hospital," except about a group of goofy judges and court clerks who use AI to write court orders and otherwise abuse people all day long and then laugh about it when they think no one's looking.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

This is objectively false, at least as with regard to Facebook. And it's only off by a couple billion, so, you know, stop repeating idiotic corporate propaganda?
this is a bluesky bubble opinion. 800M+ people use chatgpt every week. I hate Facebook and Instagram and I wish they didn’t exist, but 3B and 2B people use them every month, respectively. it’s very hard to picture a mass or even a niche left backlash against them
i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

I like Robert Reich but this is a stupid plan that has been failing for what now, 40 years?
How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??

Ex-president to start serving term in 12 sq metre bedroom in police base in Brasília after time for appeals elapses
Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been ordered to start serving his 27-year sentence in a 12 sq metre bedroom in a police base in the capital, Brasília, after his conviction for plotting a coup.
The far-right populist, who governed Latin America’s largest democracy from 2019 until 2022, was handed the punishment in September after the supreme court found him guilty of leading a criminal conspiracy to stop his leftwing rival, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, taking power. Continue reading...

And we wonder why mainstream media won't call him a Russian asset.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

OK, well, I'll tell you what's going on here.
This is what it looks like when a judge refuses to acknowledge that he or his law clerk(s) used AI to write a legal opinion after getting caught.
It's pretty ugly.
Has this ever happened before? I don't think so.
