We're now month two of half our income being missing and I have cut my meds to the bone and skipped waaay too often but I just really need to pick up because I'm in agony. If anyone would like to chip in to help I'd really appreciate it. Looking for $40

A paycheck or a lofty title is good. But moral integrity is much, much better

I talked to Penn's climate wizard Michael Mann about his great new book and his decision to drop his high-level university post to keep speaking out against science denial

As a straight young white man who covers Christian nationalism, I would perhaps have asked Doug Wilson some follow ups on this if it were running it in the NYT as part of his 10K-word defense of Christian nationalism.

For example:

“That really happen?”
“You sure about that??”
“But did it tho?????”
Wilson: No, I grant the point in principle. I don't believe that classical liberalism gets everything wrong. I really don't believe that.
And I enjoyed very much the country I grew up in, and I received many benefits from that era. So that point's granted.

But on the dank right, I believe that the liberal treatment of young white males has been one of the causes for this recoil and eruption. What you had was a toxic combination of a bad economy of young men being told repeatedly that they are the cancer of the planet, that their masculinity is toxic, that their skin is the blight of the world, and their heterosexuality is a hate crime.

Imagine for a moment a world so dependent on data centers that every aspect of municipal infrastructure must be reshaped. Not around human need, but maintaining GPU farms that use exponentially more power and water with each build. Models are only growing, and our resources are only diminishing.

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

And I like to focus on kitchen stuff because it makes no sense that I have to watch a youtub video to learn how to take apart my dishwasher to clean it and that entire chunks of it havenot been designed to be clean.

In theory the kitchen should be the easiest space on the planet to clean and it's not because it's designed by men who don't use kitchens. That's it.

One of the people who they boasted endorsed the AI 2027 thing is a eugenicist cult leader pontificating about at which age children have a "right to life" & whether its the immigrants' "dysgenic (the opposite of eugenic) pressures getting everyone stupider.

Yes we should all just get along.

One side, "AI 2027" is led by a bunch of privileged white people working at the companies causing the other side (AI con/Empire of AI).

One side, the "AI is gonna be so powerful if you don't let US be the AGI builders" is making money from stealing data, killing the environment & exploiting labor.

This isn't a "why can't we all get along" kumbaya moment. Its a moment to understand all the ways in which the people who created OpenAI, Anthropic etc claiming that their machine god will bring utopia, are the actual "existential risks" to humanity.

Raising billions of dollars to "save humanity."

Its the modern day version of the white man's burden. Colonialism and empire building at its best, using the same arguments of empires of yore as Karen Hao so eloquently put it in her book, Empire of AI.

This IS the side to fight against, not the side to join in service of some larger goal.
