Your well-being is a priority, and you are committed to nurturing it.
You believe in the power of empathy and compassion to create a better world.
You deserve the same kindness you give to others, and you extend that kindness to yourself.

Lutnick isn’t stupid. He knows what he’s saying here is a lie. Kellyanne knows this is a lie. But they have nothing but contempt for the Fox audience, and serving up lies to the lemmings has worked so well for so long. A tiny handful are doing well, millions are not.

The administration’s main goal, and primary product, is the creation of fascism-flavored content
Thousands of internal chat messages show how ICE’s public affairs arm has raced to satisfy the White House by pumping out viral videos of confrontations and arrests.

This is an official U.S. government account using dehumanizing language, holiday imagery, and military symbolism to promote fear and coercion. It’s political messaging designed to intimidate, stigmatize, and normalize mass punishment. Democratic governments do not taunt vulnerable populations.

There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

I’m going to keep saying it: both the “male loneliness epidemic” and the techbro obsession with AI are, at their core, about a complete lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of relating to other people and a terror of vulnerability/interdependence.
we talk a lot about the weirdo techbro obsession with immortality these AI necromancy projects embody, but I'm arguably even MORE fascinated by the terror of allowing yourself to experience deep, complex emotions they so obviously reveal
you cannot prevent yourself from feeling grief with an app??

"Individual liberty" is when conservatives decide everything. Their concept of liberty is just domination, not freedom to do what they want, but freedom to force everyone else to do what they want. bsky.app/profile/donm...
The only way to assure individual liberty is to hand unprecedented governmental power to the guy engaged in blatant democratic backsliding

To me this is a shot across the bow, not stupidity - a way to come out and say that "yes, killing the survivors is a war crime... but, of course, my friend Sec Hegseth would never do such a thing... right, Sec?"
If that's accurate, this is progress, small tho it is.

The authoritarian inversion of language and reality is accelerating. freedom of speech being redefined as a right to spout fascist lies and stochastic propaganda while defining pro democratic speech as “authoritarian and dangerous speech” is part of the ongoing process and the machinery of fascism.

I'd say this was paranoid except just this week a shooting was used to justify halting all immigration and they are openly calling for white supremacist "remigration". However awful you think these people are, they're worse.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Answering the question of whether or not executives actually work pretty succinctly with this.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
