We’re going to see sternly worded missives about process from Democratic leaders who celebrate Maduro’s removal with the other side of their mouths—and they will do nothing consequential in response.

The removal of Maduro was in the service of capital interests, and those interests have no party.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

If you're wondering whether our armed forces will support martial law inside the United States at some point in the next 2+ years, pay attention

MAGA: America is a Christian nation!

Me: Cool the Bible says in Leviticus "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born."

MAGA: Not like that.

As the wheels keep coming off the MAGA project there will be a political vacuum, don't let libs fill it out of convenience through the prebuilt rhythms of elections and politics, Dems have been a crucial part of MAGA and will make the changes permanent.

I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful:

All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.
I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

Xmas reminder: If GOP didn’t give 800 billionaires a $2T tax cut (again)—we’d have enough for SNAP & to cancel medical & student debt.

GOP sold out 200M Americans for 800 billionaires.

This is what class war on working people looks like. Stop bootlicking billionaires. Tax them out of existence.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

One of my most conservative-coded opinions is that one of the reasons we're in this mess is because of the profound decadence, solipsism, moral rot, and general lack of personal virtue afflicting much of the upper PMC / bourgeoisie.

I’m recalling how Epstein wrote about Trump:

“i have met some very bad people ,, none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body.. so yes - dangerous.”
I spent two years in the Trump administration. During that time, I saw how the president handled national security decisions. One of my biggest takeaways was this:

He fantasized regularly about maiming & killing unarmed civilians. Actually.

A fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum thrives at Chernobyl:

“Some scientists think its dark pigment—melanin—may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis.”

Another reason why it’s important not to obey illegal orders is because the people willing to give illegal orders will happily throw you under the bus for following them.

Enjoy your family, be thankful for your personal blessings.

That doesn’t take away the need to acknowledge the misery our Native Populations endured and continue to experience as a result of generational trauma and disenfranchisement,

You can do both. You can do both.
This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning.

From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant.
