An easy way to explain luddites:
Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.
And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.
That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Bari Weiss’s Big Secret Is That She’s Boring
The “contrarian” journalist’s new vision for CBS News appears to just mean reinventing Crossfire.

Please remember that in the US, every time you advocate for something to be made illegal, you are supporting more power being given to the carceral state.
And those new laws might be sometimes deployed against the privileged, but they will ALWAYS be weaponized against the vulnerable.

Spent more than we should have to put on a big spread. Roasted a chicken and a ham and some veggies, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cornbread, cranberry sauce. Best T-day meal I've ever had, shared with people I love

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

What's more likely is that at some point companies start canceling orders. Jensen claims 20 million orders for blackwell + vera rubin (next gen) - how many can be canceled? Why is anybody buying GPUs?

So every delay caused by people and governments pushing back on the zoning and construction approvals for data centers is making the burst of the bubble come closer?

when trump resumes doing fascist shit (ongoing during this meeting btw), there’ll be no “we told you so, leftists!” because we are laughing at how stupid this is, not embracing trump. and anyone saying otherwise is a grifter lying for clicks.

ICE’s Detention Center outside Chicago was sued on October 30 for allegedly abusing detainees. One day later, a "system crash" lost all video footage that could have shown how detainees were being treated. trib.al/QwT3aqI

New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Alderman Sigcho-Lopez was right to call out Pritzker today about the state police arresting protesters. Pritzker responded that the state police are protecting protesters, and that just isn't true. State cops have arrested and brutalized protesters to facilitate ICE operations. That's reality.

"Those radicals you've been told to find loud, 'unreasonable' and annoying keep consisently being correct, so maybe this should finally prompt some rethinking of your assumptions" remains undefeated.
If they are acting the way "bad faith leftists" assume they act, maybe the leftists were simply correct? In fact, if you look at the leftist sentiment on everything this past election cycle, they have the single most accurate track record of anyone else.
Maybe it's just salient analysis.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.
