metaxas needs to burn for what he did to my boy
Right-wing evangelicals have taken to comparing themselves to the Germans who fought Hitler, claiming that they embody the same virtues of courage and self-sacrifice, and face the same persecution and martyrdom. www.currentaffairs.org/news/how-ame...
How American Evangelicals Stole the Legacy of Anti-Nazi Resistance
From pulpits to Project 2025, the Christian right has recast the German resistance—and this time, they're the martyrs.

prob the bible
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

I encounter people who seem to have lost touch with the concept of being a physical presence in a three dimensional space. Their body being present in, say, a doorway, while they stare at their phone cannot occur to them. Everyone is now the only human who exists. Seems bad.
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

it’s because ai sucks at accomplishing real tasks and ceos just want a friend that tells them they’re smart
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?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should

i genuinely think there has never been a clearer example of the entire credentialized pundit class going “huh, how curious, what a strange phenomenon” and every other person on the planet going “see? obviously!”
President Trump and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani emphasized common populist ideals and pledged to work closely together, a sense of agreement that ran afoul of nearly everything their respective political bases have come to expect from them. https://wapo.st/43IO9x9
