Dems should lean into sneering cosmopolitan elitism imo
it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

I’m clearly not a lawyer so this isn’t legal analysis, but thinking as someone who studies institutions & contentious politics, I’d say we could understand the Supreme Court as having suspended the constitution—it operates to the extent that lower courts & states enforce it despite the Supreme Court

So are we ready to acknowledge that we live under a dictatorship of capital yet or are we still gonna keep pretending any of this democracy shit is real.
Having one of the richest people in America (Bloomberg) funding millions of dollars in ads bashing you really matters. Rich people promising to cut jobs from New York if you win also hurts. www.thefp.com/p/escape-fro...

Abraham Lincoln Wasn't Born an Abolitionist, He Became One

Pritzker would’ve pulled up with a Glock
I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark.
I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

This includes the federal bench
Online radicalisation of elites is a significant and yet poorly understood aspect of contemporary politics.
Holy shit, when Richard Hanania is not far enough right for you. Would love to hear what US Senators and prominent bloggers doing appearances with Andreessen think.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context*
Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when
An LLM just generates text

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

part of the reason the left struggles to articulate itself effectively today is that the old schemas of historical intelligibility no longer apply. for instance, Hegseth accidentally leaking classified natsec info twice in the span of a month is a real 'first as farce, second as farce' situation

Guys, you're still trying to replace FDR. I told you we can't do it, and we can't do it. Now, what we might be able to do is re-create him. Re-create him in the aggregate.

They did, and you can read the letters written by Roman aristocrats living in Gaul who had basically given up on trying to fix anything and retreated to a comfortable self-exile on their vast estates
I wonder if Roman elites watching the fall of their empire also thought: “This is so stupid.”
