Of the total US casualties during WW:I, nearly half died of the Spanish Flu. Trump's DUI hire is trying to kill more American soldiers and weaken our military in the face of Russin invasion of Europe and an emboldened China. nps.gov/articles/inf...

If you called her "the goat," I think you'd get one of the most withering staredowns in history. But the truth is the truth. Happy 94th to Elaine May. Long may she reign!

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.

Every major news organization should be producing and promoting something along the lines of "Erratic and volatile president threatens to restart his war of aggression against Iran and order massive assault on civilian infrastructure, a possible war crime. Who will tell him no?"

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

The cyberattack on The British Library in October 2023 knocked out ebooks and almost ever other computer thing there for years.

Ebooks just came back. They were knocked out everywhere using the BL’s license (legal deposit libraries I think? More libraries?)

Distributed physical copies matter.

The Death of Public Health Robert F, Kennedy Jr, the nation’s #1 public health official, isn’t interested in public health.

Are we witnessing the death of public health?

Day 53 of Operation Epic Failure. Still an Epic Failure. Republicans still haven’t told us what victory in Operation Epic Failure looks like. No goals. No strategy. Just Market Manipulation by the Ultra wealthy and corrupt elites.

I’m just a non-scientist witness here… But if scientists go back to the platform run by the guy that created the GOP thug army which defunded science in the USA, it will be an irony the heights of which we have never yet seen

Henry Ford welcomed the byproduct of paying his workers more allowed them to actually buy his cars.

Yup. If a fairly ruthless business man knew this over a century ago, WTF are we doing?!

This has been and will always be my question for the AI boosters.

Who will be left to buy your widgets?

There is no good answer. It’s either “uh oh I didn’t think about that,” in which case: dumb. Or there is “I plan to live in a bunker while everyone starves because I got mine,” which: evil AF.

So. How does this genius businessman, this titan of industry, think that 20-30% of people will pay for their phones if they're unemployed? This maniacal quest they're on to eliminate all workers has a fatal flaw. The workers are also the consumers.

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.

Why Consumers are F*cked Trump's Never-ending War and Trump's Never-ending Tariffs are pushing up Never-ending price increases

Trump's Never-ending War and Trump's Never-ending Tariffs are pushing up Never-ending price increases. All of this is happening because of the unilateral decision making of one man. The question is, will he pay the price for it during the midterms?

How the AI oligarchy devoured America

For our May + June 2026 issue, Mother Jones explores the roots and reach of Silicon Valley’s biggest merger ever and the implications of Big Tech’s quest for an AI revolution, which is already upending our world.

Did Donald Trump Promise Iran $20 Billion? If So—Is that Treason? On Earth One, no—it’s Iran’s money, after all. But on MAGA Earth, if Biden or Obama had done it …

If $1.7 billion was treason to MAGA-world, then what's $20 billion? trib.al/z4b7cNU

I’m just imagining if Joe Biden had promised middle class Americans checks, didn’t deliver them and then just never mentioned it again.

Pretty sure Fox News would be talking about it 12 hours a day AT LEAST.

Yes. This is why we do not need to take this seriously.

This is so stupid that it's not even worth taking seriously.

At a Bruce Springsteen concert in the nosebleeds. Woman behind me says how the GA floor was so expensive (like $500-1000) and I said, “This is supposed to be a protest show. Those are the people we should be protesting against.”

It makes sense and seems fair to say.
