I guess I need to transfer this over here.
Pinned tweet, dated November 25, 2016: Mike Flynn is a spy.

We can just ask AI how to make everything free.

ANDREESSEN: Even if AI ends up destroying all the jobs, “the result would be hyper-deflation of prices, which is the thing that people miss. .. Things that today cost a lot of money will all of a sudden be cheap or free.”

War, to the extent that it is war, is politics by other means.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

If we start seeing raids at Kushner-owned properties, we’ll understand it better.

Yes. Minus the frantic efforts at rehiring them that preceded the shutdown.

You know what? They should do it.

82-year old Lee Greenwood dressed in an American flag jumpsuit. Maybe Trump gets up there and does his dance. Good stuff.

It’s what America craves.
mearns.bsky.social
lmao this dolt is beyond parody.
yeah Lee Greenwood, totally appealing to all audiences. you nailed it buddy
“Lee Greenwood for Super Bowl halftime show!”   says the idiot

Of course, Trump is doing everything he can to minimize the possibility that there will be other work to find.

One of many reasons it’s better to guarantee federal employees will receive back pay after a shutdown is that without it, after a prolonged shutdown, you have no idea which or how many of your workers are actually going to come back, as opposed to finding work elsewhere.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Shades of the Aurora, CO Tren de Aragua origin story.

Similar scapegoating there by another neglectful landlord.

This South Side Weekly report on the Chicago building raid is well worth reading. Most striking to me are the indications of collusion between federal authorities and the building owner and management to effect a mass eviction at the blighted property. southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

If anyone’s struggled to keep up with my threads on why the genAI bubble
Is a bubble, here’s a simplified pictorial explanation, the plug is OpenAI and the sockets are Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, Nvidia, and AMD

I was working an entire essay on this very notion this summer and this is reminding me I should pick it back up. TL;DR - every price is someone else's income and whether prices going down on something is "good" depends a whole lot on what you do for a living.

And who brought you mid-decade redistricting and gerrymandering to steal seats in Congress.

Monstrous.

"federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

And the one who brought you the “Brooks Brothers Riot,” and a presidency that shouldn’t have been.
mikeduncan.bsky.social
All brought to you by the same group that in a previous episode staged a riot inside the national capital to disrupt and prevent the legal transfer of power to their political rivals after losing an election
resnikoff.bsky.social
I know it’s easy to get inured to this stuff but imagine a podcast ep where @mikeduncan.bsky.social is telling you about this happening in some other country at the same time that a crisis in parliament has shut down the national budget.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.
