something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things
they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

Bari Weiss claims she killed the CBS CECOT story because it lacked Trump’s perspective.
1. That’s a lie. Trump has publicly commented supporting CECOT.
2. Refusing to comment is their choice. They are no victim.
3. Killing a story to protect power is State Run Media.
Drop CBS permanently.

What a shameful question.
First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES.
Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean?
CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.

BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
