The thing about San Francisco is that most successful progressive supervisors are all “worked for a union, connected to community, deeply knowledgeable about how government works, extremely burned out” and the conservatives are all “I woke up here one day and was given $20M to be a puppet in office”

Probably for the best. Can you imagine their gorgeous, urbane, statuesque children plowing through the Kennedy White House like wolves through a chicken coop? Soviets would've beat us to the moon.
Hey so apparently Vincent Price really wanted to marry Anna May Wong but couldn’t because of miscegenation laws

Worth noting, too, that Debs’ sedition conviction was a bipartisan enterprise of Democrat and Republican cooperation. Historical unity, ruling classes, etc. etc. etc.
"The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles. The master class has had all to gain and nothing to lose, while the subject class has had nothing to gain and all to lose—especially their lives."

If these people just wanted to hang out with celebs at parties, pick up scandalous gossip, and hold on to stories for an insane lead time, they should have just gone into entertainment journalism ffs.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

If you're mad that it's difficult to have an objective and nuanced conversation about the pros and cons of AI your beef is with the developers and promoters of this tech who deliberately made that impossible because they benefited from the irrational hype!

an oil war? in 2025? this is beginning to feel more like the real motivator here is not energy geopolitics is nostalgia for an earlier times when the American gerontocracy felt more virile and potent.

When you talk about poverty in the US, some wag inevitably brings up that the US is, by global standards, a wealthy country.

Is that supposed to be a comfort to people who can't afford insulin? People who debate which utility bill they'll pay this month? People drinking water suffused with lead?

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

If we're doing phone discourse, I think I'd prefer to go back to the model where I pay a dollar a month to rent a bakelite phone from the phone company. It's hooked to my wall. It has a long curly plastic coated wire. Nobody can send me emails on it.

You can see one of the precursors to AI slop in the way Capital can just puppeteer journalists into writing garbage in favor of Capital, with barely any conscious involvement. Just money telling its servants to make it more money.
No, ChatGPT is not conscious. Are the journalists who keep writing these fucking articles?
