![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

The reason the headline is "doom!" is because when you see what's already been done, you see that we can do more,
which means things can get better,
which means rich people's "it's over, no stopping this, might as well let us do what we want" manipulation might stop working. Can't have that.

Okay, so, there's a lot of takes going on about this right now. I just want to say that the number is ragebait. The pay is almost all in the form of Tesla stock, and the number they're attaching to it is based on an insane projection of Tesla being worth EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS by 2034.
JUST IN: Tesla shareholders officially green light a pay package for Elon Musk that could make him the world's first trillionaire.
Tesla shareholders endorse Musk pay package up to $1T

If you needed more proof that much of the pundit class covered the Harris campaign by listening to what the GOP was saying about it and not listening to campaign itself.
Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross.
The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on — and they're popular!
The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.

Every 4 months or so a bunch of queer terms are mysteriously blocked in titles and go live notifications, folks make a fuss, and it’s undone quietly after a few days.
It’s almost like they’re testing if this is the mythical time they can finally abandon us as a market.

A really good way for the Democrats to prove that they aren't fundamentally the same as Republicans would be for them to clearly and unambiguously disavow Cuomo over stuff like this, and the fact that they aren't racing to do so should suggest a few things about how wide that gulf really is
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Most Americans are deeply ignorant of how national borders and travel and migration worked, historically – but they assume that it was always like now.
It wasn’t even like now when I was younger.

Bernie Sanders made some pretty ridiculous comments related to border security and how basically border security is necessary to have a nation. So was the U.S. not a nation prior to the manufactured border security panic? Because people were crossing that southern border fairly freely prior to then.
Reminder that the idea of "border security" is political and a result of moral panic. In 1965, Congress passed amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act that put number limits on immigration and ended longstanding guest worker agreements with Mexico. This helped lead to agencies like ICE. /1

The worst part about Bernie's absolutely atrocious immigration statements is that his father, like my grandparents, WAS AN IMMIGRANT who came here BEFORE modern immigration law. Hell, even then, my grandfather had to wait to get naturalized because he was listed as a member of the "Hebrew" Race.
