Messages from Nazi Germany, after the U.S. election of 2024
These poems were written by Germans and Austrians between 1933 and the immediate postwar period. They are a reminder of the dangers of fascism, as well as of the delusions of those who think they'...

I’m going to keep reposting this. Not because I’m the most brilliant translator from German, but because these poems, written by German poets just before and just after the Nazis destroyed much of Europe, are a warning of our immediate future.

To me, the biggest tell that AI is massively overvalued is that Big Tech has to keep shoving it in our faces. I just noticed Chrome has a 'Gemini' button at the top of the browser, and I'm getting prompts all over the place, including Zoom, to 'try AI.'

But you shouldn't be too surprised when they say stuff like this:
"You were better off being a Black person in Charleston, S.C., in 1850, when they had an operating slave market than being conceived as a Black baby in New York City or Baltimore today."

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

RIFs can’t be done without agency leadership so this is RFK Jr extending his purge of CDC scientists to help Vought’s shutdown agenda. Genuine public health risks created by aggrieved men.

If I contrast and compare the 27 grievances against King George III charged in the Declaration of Independence and the actions of today’s president, does the Declaration of Independence suggest an extraordinary precedent for our response to the actions of the President?
