I think you've nailed it. The Trump policies of shoving AI down our throats while also depriving us of vaccines lines up perfectly with your analysis. Bonus: Trump removing Environmental Protection Agency laws, so that whomever isn't wiped out by disease will be taken out by pollution.

Exactly right & a big part of the problem is the creation of offshore worlds--including Epstein's island--where a small group of people can grow richer & more powerful by violating the laws, trading secrets (from insider trading opportunities to extortion) & using all that $ to sabotage democracy.

Thank you for saying it. It absolutely is the extension of sexual predation to IR. This is the first time I've ever seen a man point this out in print.

megaLOL

we have all suffered through automated phone tree hell for years, shouting "AGENT! AGENT! GDAMMIT!" in hopes of talking to a person & now the world is just begging for that experience to be extended into every realm of our lives, including interactions with physicians, teachers, etc.

One of the most distinctive aspects of this WH’s foreign policy is to combine an extremely ecumenical Westphalianism about broad regime type (which I’m fine with TBF) with an extremely precise set of ideological preferences about who should win elections in the Western Hemisphere & Western Europe.

London School of Economics? Wonder why that institution appears on a list that is otherwise exclusively US universities?

If DoD is going to affect high dudgeon about "woke" universities outside the US, why not exclude Oxford and Cambridge, the entirety of French higher ed, etc.?

Attention fellow pedants: I do realize that the woman in the video has not created a Molotov cocktail. I know what a Molotov cocktail is. It's just an imperfect attempt to come up with a substitute for "wine mom."

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release. “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

The first half of my discussion with the brilliant @ebharrington.bsky.social. We talk offshores, Epstein, boiling frogs, JD Vance as head chimp, and, as she put it, “'Jackass' played as a global game among the richest and most powerful men in the world.”

Keystone Kop Kristi Noem fired a Coast Guard pilot bc she forgot her blanket on his flight, then had to reinstate him bc there was no one else to fly her home...& other things KKKristi gets up to while she's not busy torturing immigrants in concentration camps, per WSJ.
