My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

A novel innovation of #BuyMyBook to be going "Would you also like to write book or other word collection saleable product?"

IIRC the origin & earliest spread of the post-war H1N1 flu pandemic was amongst military camps of the various armies.

Palantir's Manifesto Is as Subtle as a MAGA Hat Palantir's 22-point manifesto is nonsense, writes Dave Karpf. But it at least it is short enough to be clarifying, he says.

So much of Silicon Valley has reached the conclusion that there is money to be made from American authoritarianism, writes Dave Karpf. With its ‘manifesto,’ Palantir wants to remind you that it reached that conclusion first, he says.

The Harpercollins cover for Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff's 'Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed.'

Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff's *Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed* seeks to describe the ideology that gave rise to Elon Musk, the social forces that gave rise to that ideology, and the terrible future that ideology seeks to bring about:

It embodies that important conservative value summarized in Wilhoit's Law:

> There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

Important to remember that those 18 year olds who voted for the first time in the 2025 general election still had a few years of primary school when #ChaosWithEd originally had relevance. Basically, we old.

Who here is ready for “Chaos with Ed?”

We know this is the case with gender in high school & college. The demographic cascade when more women than men enter a particular profession and men leave. The animosity of "whites" towards any racial equity efforts in both education & career prospects.

While I realize some disciplines are stubbornly resistant to demographic shifts ( CS 👀 ), we have seen marked changes in others, like medicine, since the 1960s. This diversification within Higher Education and the "scientific workforce" along with it is one of the causes of the distrust.

How the American oligarchy went hyperscale The AI boom is fueling a literal and metaphorical power grab by tech billionaires—and forcing a reckoning.

Well-presented article on the IT oligarchs trying to outdo each other's hyperscale data centers.

Millennial women I know still shudder at the late 90s anorexia aesthetic each time a bit of that media resurfaces. I cannot imagine the trauma of this shit at scale is currently doing to a girl's self-image.

Beyond the obvious example of the little Austrian private, have fascists (& authoritarians more broadly) of other eras been so blatantly "this is what I am going to do and why"?

Also sell MacOS as a stand alone product because #MacroSlop looks unwell.

Feels like the last decade has been the dramatic culmination of the twin alternative information ecosystems of reactionary capitalists and white evangelical Christians since the 1970s. Creation science and the Laffer Curve anyone?

Totally agree with this great piece—with the caveat that it is timebound: the SV-MAGA alliance bought a two year window of indifference to consumers that is soon closing.

Imagine if the press that Hegseth is insulting took this sort of stuff as seriously as they took Ilhan Omar saying AIPAC influences elections by spending money

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

"Small-bore, poll-tested versions of the future will not help us."

@hankgreen.bsky.social (bursts through a wall wearing a custom made T-shirt for exactly this occasion): they are fish and the rest of us terrestrial vertebrates never should have left!

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

LET'S FUCKING GO!

‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there

Hence the giant mass human cognitive deskilling and stupefaction machine so they can make money off it

I honestly don't have much novelty to contribute myself. Just trying to write level-headed guidance on the use of LLM based code generation engines on shared compute resources. 😭

Or use cron to...
ps -e -o pid,cmd | grep -P (claude|codex|cursor|hermes) | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -9

So she made a long distance call to a divorce lawyer from the lobby telephone that evening?

The vast majority of what I have learned about "AI" has come from experts in the various technologies who also happen to be women &/or queer. 🤔 Maybe, just maybe more men need to just sit down, shut the fuck up, and listen.

Just imagine the frothing rage if it was reversed.

"Your little boy brain in a middle-aged body cannot comprehend the number of ways this technology is exploiting all of your socialized prejudices and desires, so let me explain it to you slowly and with small words."
