They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.
"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Despite threats, billionaires don't leave the largest population centers, because it's where there is the most money to be had from the collective value generated by human beings, and despite what they insist, they don't generate wealth; they collect it.

Once you’re an American citizen, you are in fact free to spew venom or shower praise on your American ancestors, no matter how much the pathetic legal hacks rationalizing the MAGA madness might contort themselves.

There’s no two-tiered citizenship here and anyone who insists otherwise can get bent
So what he's saying here is that Roger Taney is part of that adoptive family which must be worshipped but Frederick Douglass and David Walker and and William Lloyd Garrison and other fantastic spewers of venom against the founders were not

Anyone who supports this kind of thing, whatever their reason, has a broken soul.

Anyone who supports or defends the political regime that activates it cannot be trusted on any level.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

It’s a public service, right there in the name. It exists as a public good for all the people in this country. It’s not supposed to turn a profit, you dolts.

Go audit the Pentagon and see what kind of return on investment we’re getting there.

Just a reminder that Trump has, on camera, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing and explained his 17-year-old daughter asked him not to “date” girls younger than her.

I’m not sure what’s true in the Epstein Files, but when you recall those facts it all seems plausible

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

This is a danger to us all.

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied.

It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

David Brooks writing about how there was nothing to see with the Epstein Files while not disclosing *he was in them* is at least a Nuzzi-level journalistic scandal

CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

He never disclosed that he’d visited Epstein in that column and did a lot of hand waving to insist that he and his fellow elites had nothing, nothing at all to do with him.

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
We can do even more.

My take on Trump's address tonight is that he's always won in the past by staying on the attack and refusing to apologise. He didn't defend himself: he proclaimed reality, ignored all arguments to the contrary, and went back to throwing punches.

This felt defensive, weak. And maybe a little scared.

Terrific piece by @jamellebouie.net that articulates the central problem with the Trump presidency.

He demanded unprecedented power and has, thanks to his lickspittles in Congress & SCOTUS, been granted it. But he has little interest in using it beyond his grasping selfishness. The nation's adrift.
