To placate the base, Trump occasionally belts out a rant on Truth Social, sometimes peppered with racism to make people feel he's fighting for the white working class. Or he renames the Kennedy Center. But the material conditions for most voters remain unchanged. Pure symbolism.

Almost a year into this presidency, Trump voters have gotten nothing except the Big Beautiful Bill, which was usual Republican politics of giving tax cuts to the rich and slashing social spending for the poor. Housing remains unaffordable, cost of living is rising, and manufacturing jobs fell.

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Fantastic rebuttal to all the 'it's fine for concept art to be AI slop' we're seeing right now. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...
Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists working in games about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did.

Ben Shapiro: "Today I want to talk about something even more important — how to discern those attempting to speak truth from frauds and grifters…The conservative movement is in danger from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle but actually traffic in conspiracy and dishonesty."

JK Rowling is destroying children's lives. Stop buying her shit, watching her shows, playing her games. You're funding her hate campaign. Move on.
Article in the Times today.
JKR has set her pre action attack team on a school supporting trans youth.
A father is threatening to sue for allowing trans children to use the loo they‘ve always used.
“I don’t wish trans people any ill”, he says, after casting them as voyeurs and sexual predators.

This is the paradox: the "AI" bubble is based on hype. It's not about creating useful things. It's about hype to inflate stock.
If the public resists the hype, then line does not go up.
So they hype harder and harder, repelling most people with their hard sell tactics.
It's a downward spiral.

Don’t let CEOs quibble over how much they’re pushing for AI. Regurgitative AI is a plagiaristic poison, to use any amount of it is to use it too much.
They want the concessions, because concessions can creep. Zero tolerance is the only way to say no to it.

Brooks should be driven out of public life. The fact that he knew there were photographs of himself with Epstein and he didn't disclose that while also telling people that they should move on is just straight up unethical.

This is possibly the most significant attack on trans rights in this country yet, and I can count the number of posts on my timeline about this on my hands.
If you're trying to dismiss this thinking "It'll die in the senate," DON'T! Sound the alarms now!
