I think annointing Pritzker as the best 2028 option in 2025 is equally as foolish as assigning particular malice to him. All the governors are going to be tested eventually.

The page displayed is a broken image on a black background, and the sentence: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look upon my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

It's very telling that even in this fake story the "founder" didn't *do* anything. Like, no mention that she built something, or created something useful, just that she raised a lot of capital. Cause that's the only thing that matters to such ghouls.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Fundamentally, there is no on-the-page institutional structure that can protect you from an absence of virtue among the citizenry.

That's just where we are - voters have learned a lot of bad habits. A lot of people thought they could vote MAGA again and it wouldn't matter; bad habits.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

AI is intellectual asbestos. Building it into all of our information systems and relying on it to produce academic, scientific and legal knowledge is layering toxic waste into infrastructure that we won’t ever be able to fully abate.

When provided the exact same question, “LLMs sometimes say one party should win, while other times saying the other party should win. This instability has implications for the increasing numbers of legal AI products, legal processes, and lawyers relying on these LLMs.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

Their actions are functionally no different than those of the centurions mocking Christ whilst he hung from the Cross. “Look! He calls out for Elijah, and cannot save himself!”

ICE, quite literally, denied entry to God Himself - body, blood, soul, and divinity, fully materially present here on earth. They rejected Christ to His face.
