White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

this is how I, a resident of LA, found out that the Palisades fire was arson, that they caught the guy, and that he used gen AI to work his way up to doing the crime

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Do you think there are Mon Calamari who are total boot lickers? Like they complain about how Admiral Ackbar is a radical leftist, and tell their neighbors how actually the Emperor is going to make the ocean great again?

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

Our @DHSgov law enforcement officers will continue to work throughout the Democrats' Shutdown to make sure our homeland is safe and secure. More than 200,000 of these patriots will go without pay.
The Democrats will be forcing over 150,000 officers and nearly 50,000 members of the military
—our frontline of defense—to continue protecting our nation without pay.

The comments on the Klein — Coates YouTube conversation are … good, actually? (Certainly better than anything Klein said in the course of the hour! Eeeeek)

Anyway here are some top comments on Ezra’s YouTube channel. I think they’re great examples of substantive discussion

The contrast here is so striking. I didn't realize how much Ezra Klein lacked moral clarity and just clarity in general. Props to Ta-Nehisi Coates for having the courage to face this country so openly and clearly, and to stand by his convictions.

I'm surprised Klein can't see the fallacy he's committing here. Sure, you don't have to dump all over Kirk immediately after is death. The jump from that to "I must lie about him doing politics the right way" is wild.

Ezra's focus on this as an intellectual exercise of winning and losing, and Ta-Nehisi's approach grounded in lived experience of being Black in America is speaking volumes.

Ezra could have made a simple statement of condolences and condemnation of political violence without needless provocative whitewashing of Kirk's public postures.

I'm embarrassed to admit that when I went into this interview, I was initially in support of Klein's argument, but after really listening to Ta-Nehisi Coates, l've come to realize my assumption and perspective were both dangerously wrong. The best thing we could have said is a simple condemnation of political violence and a condolence to his family, but whether or not we've meant to, a lot of us have come awfully close to making Kirk something he wasn't a saint. After talking to friends who were directly impacted by the rhetoric Kirk espoused, I also have come to realize that being in the minority in a conversation of politics and morality is better than giving up our soul for power. The tides of history are built on organizing and timing and we often don't see the fruits of our labor. Anyways, I'm sorry.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

The military cares about climate change because they understand it's setting the ground for more conflicts, and because their bases are underwater. Seems like having your bases underwater might affect military readiness.
