Periodic reminder:Substack profits off Nazi pages bc they don't want to be "in the censorship business,"but they also won't host adult content,so they ARE in the "censorship business." They just think Nazis are better than pornographers.
This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.
Solid list man. Makes me want to watch some movies
Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten to put that one on the list. I'll get to it eventually...
"Five pencils for you. Big fuck-off Jet for me. Two dolls for you..."
And it's a bit concerning that he is a major investor in Substack.
Marc Andreesen is shaping media into his vision and some of y'all are just letting him. You are letting SS use your left leaning journalism to launder right wing extremism. It's making me nuts.
Dear Democrats:
People fucking hate bullies and bigots. Defend the most vulnerable with all your strength and win some damn elections for a change.
They poured a quarter billion dollars into transphobic broadcast ads in ‘24 and thought, “That’s it! We have our message!”
And yet in the campaigns before that and in election after election since then, they’ve either underperformed or lost outright.
Democrats: Hold the line. Work hard. Go win.
Why is this story not in an American paper
Let’s tell more stories of how responsible governance can benefit more people and give them increased opportunities, instead of the supposed inevitably of the oligarchs having everything there is

2024 WTTW Chicago Public TV article on Illinois' biggest Republican political donors: “…Trump’s Top Donors With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trump’s reelection bid — though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon. The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir. The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).”
Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.
Fascinating bit of reading here. Wow.
True but also rarely has an economic policy sucked shit this much
In case you're having a bad day
Time to listen to some Smoking Popes in celebration of the Chicago Pope.
Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.
The thing that most infuriates me here (and there's a lot to choose from) is the way Altman has created a massive crisis in higher education that didn't need to exist and then purports to sell us a solution.
(i hate it. i don’t care about your use case. i hope it fails. i have had to become fairly informed on how it “works” for reasons and have still never touched it myself and will not ever touch it myself, which may eventually cost me my livelihood. i hate it and i don’t care about your use case.)
you know, maybe the most irritating thing about AI is that there’s no effective way to mute it on here so if i want to “see” other people from my weird little isolating life, every 6 days i gotta sit through everyone once again reacting to an AI Good media piece.
Scott Bessent isn’t explaining Trump’s economic plan. He’s laundering it. Through the WSJ. In broad daylight. With your future on the line.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Please notice: the cop openly questions the legality of his orders and of the arrests, admits he has no idea why they're arresting people: and then proceeds to participate in arresting them, anyway.
*All* cops are bastards.

It is absolutely hilarious that because he’s fucked this up so stupidly we’re now getting an argument against materialism from THE MOST MATERIALISTIC PERSON WHO EVER LIVED.
The language of Trump’s new executive order is propaganda.
“Safety,” “criminals,” “heroic police.”
The reality: federal overreach, local disempowerment, and an ideological war on accountability.
