The Shady World of Surveillance Pricing (Ft. Lina Khan) Should corporations be able to weaponize your personal data to rip you off?Well, they may already be doing that thanks t

Did JetBlue admit to surveillance pricing?

Even though they denied it, multiple companies have been caught red-handed using the shady practice.

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

if there is a path to either national nonpartisan redistricting or proportional representation, it is going to go through one party or another. but the first step toward it actually happening is for that party to win power, and you go to war with the system you have, not the one you want.

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

“The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking, and legal experts and rights groups say the attacks amount to extrajudicial killings as they apparently target civilians who do not pose any immediate threat.”

Superpower Suicide The geopolitics of our moment

“Superpower Suicide” is a concept to help understand the approach of the Trump regime to the rest of the world. We are fighting a war for no reason we can name, losing it, and covering our defeat with genocidal and apocalyptic propaganda.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

Nick Fuentes Is Physically Disgusted by His Own Groyper Fanboys A devoted Fuentes supporter went on CNN to talk about his hero and then found himself in his crosshairs.

Nick Fuentes hates his fans so much, he sicced his followers on one of them. The fan's crime: being fat and wearing ugly shoes.

The groyper got death threats, but remains loyal to Fuentes. He also promises to lose weight. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/nick-fuent...

I'm so tired of this "false sense of victimization" these weak men feel.

"Oh no, women don't worship. Women don't want me. Women are too independent. Women should be sex toys. Women shouldn't have rights."

Like fuck that. Only weak men are screaming victimization.

Wife of active-duty U.S. Army soldier detained by ICE in Texas at immigration appointment The wife of a sergeant first class was detained by ICE at an immigration appointment in Texas. He says he doesn't understand why, and "ICE is out of control right now."

You cannot hate ICE enough. “Ortega was summoned to the El Paso immigration office for an interview related to an application for a special program designed to offer deportation protections to military spouses or parents who are in the U.S. without legal status.“ www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-det...

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Tim Cook's legacy will be enshittifying Apple's software, abusing their market dominance, and then playing apologist to fascism.

Under his leadership they burned billions on a car that never drove, and the only major attempt at a new product during his tenure (the Apple Vision Pro) was a total dud.

Judge Doom's 1947 vision for freeways. From Who Framed Roger Rabbit:

I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night. Soon, where Toontown once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food. Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see. 

My God, it'll be beautiful.

MAGA Is Eating Itself When you're as unpopular as Donald Trump, the only people left to fight are erstwhile allies.

"Wow, Trump has 100 percent support among MAGA!"

Terrible analysis, terrible punditry.

"LOL! The best MAGA can do is brag about Trump's 100 percent support among MAGA."

Correct, contains crucial insights.
