Trump/MAGA/TechBros/Oligarch objective in a nutshell:
‘Now we’re totally in command, ram that fucking iceberg, grab everything we think is valuable, sink this ship, get rid of the passengers and when we’re rescued and back at our dry land banks we’ll build a boat just for us.’
“This machine kills fascists.”

“And let slip the dogs of war”
We naturally fear and avoid disease.
We must however learn caution and vigilantly practice restraint with regard to ease.

I am more frightened by and enraged at the human progenitors and promoters of AI than I am by and at the actual machines of AI.
This is theft, plain and simple. They stole this from you. Every deletion, every erasure, every website that goes dark is a crime against the American public
They are a sadistic drag show, dressing up in piety, destroying communities, lives and possibilities, repeating Genesis 22 on infinite loop, except refusing the ram and killing everyone else’s children as offerings to their golden calf.
Captain America is dead.
They’re just going to keep taking your rights away and pretend it’s all Constitutional and dare you to stop them.
WSJ editorial: "The better alternative for Paramount and its reputation? Win the legal case, vindicate its CBS journalists and the First Amendment, and trust that the FCC has enough integrity to operate as something more than the President’s personal protection racket."

What he got is “advancing the shameless lies of a petty fool.”
He may be aiming for something else but I think he knew that was the deal.
Child' viewpoint, #nasturtiums. They grew in nearly every garden in town, alongside houses, garages, back fences.
You know what would make the Strait of Hormuz less important? Moving away from fossil fuels to a renewable energy-powered future. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/w...
I’ve read none of the media coverage. All I want to know is whether he threatened to eat Rogan’s liver.
Journalists keep asking me, baffled, “What’s the Trump administration really trying to do to the science agencies?”
So I say “They are trying to destroy them. Cut off their funding, ruin their facilities, harass their staff into leaving.”
It’s not reform, and it never was. It’s destruction.
What. A. Shitshow.
How’s the price of eggs?

If you need cheering up, here is my favorite feature of Frederick Douglass’ home in DC, which I visited today: his “growlery,” where he would escape to read, write or fume. What I wouldn’t give for my own growlery
Shows pretty clearly that Trump got rolled by Netanyahu - the same “we will attack with or without you” gambit that every other president back to Obama managed to resist, and Trump just crumpled like dry leaves.
Yep. And middle school athletes have been beating urinalysis drug tests for a generation now.
Your now-regular reminder that no tax cut has ever paid for itself.
Ever
The tail ain't even bothering to wag the dog anymore. It's reaching out and wagging any/every-one who looks at the dog. In fact it's slapping us as it wags us.
Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...
Red flag: the acceleration of fascist authoritarian oppression is rooted in fossil fuel interests & money. They are counting on potential resistance fracturing because "it's not me they're after."
For the POTUS/CIC of US armed forces to require at this moment a military parade in his own honor is perhaps the hugest small-dick-energy move in history or even conceivable. I am struggling to imagine a possible decision that would more fundamentally reveal venal insecurity and a collapsed ego.
The Musk/Trump apparent rift is Helm’s Deep at best, probably more like the Rohirrim dispatching the Isengard Orcs on the edge of Fanghorn.
Eyes on the prize.
Beware Palantir.
Destroy the Ring.
the future is a slop app sending you a push notification written by its billionaire owners on how your future treats are at risk because of the feckless demand for big government boondoggles like funding your child’s public school or building a public park
Trump intelligence briefings, Fox News, puppet shows…same thing.
