Silicone Valley calling Rahm Emmanuel the future of the Democratic Party should tell you everything you need to know about that man and The Democrats
Josef Palermo spent 10 months working at the Kennedy Center because he wanted to help protect it. He reports from inside the "hostile political takeover" of the nation’s cultural center:
Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.
The guy keeps posting written threats to violate the Geneva Conventions.
What’s interesting here is they say “culture” when they mean “people” but they think that this maintains a veneer of deniability about what they’re really saying. In any case it’s true that the “culture” of the tech billionaires is morally and intellectually depraved rot bsky.app/profile/elio...
personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life

ICMYI: As part of a Guardian investigation, Sean Craig & I looked into clandestine neo-nazi "Forest Fights" — hooligan-style brawls on a secretive Lynchburg, VA compound hosted by neopagan hate group Wolves of Vinland, with fighters from the active club network, Patriot Front, and the Hammerskins. 🧵
Politico headline: "Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal" Residents of a St. Louis suburb turned out in droves to unseat four incumbents just days after the council approved a development agreement for a $6 billion data center.
Energy policy think tanks keep putting out proposals like "give Mark Zuckerberg sole control over our utility rates by making him America's next grid czar" and the people in Everytown, America are like "go ahead and fuckin try"

New disclosures reveal how DOGE actually worked

Depositions offer insight into what Elon Musk’s group was up to. Members describe a club-like atmosphere in which they pushed for grant and contract cancellations across the govt.

“The proposal, called ‘Project Prove It’, is a nine-month pilot program between the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office and Flock Safety, which will allow unmanned drones to assist deputies during emergencies.”
I'm a yes on this one, because no one should be forced to worship someone else's religion.
giving abusers more power is a pretty reliable way to ensure more abuse
it's not worth it!
I’m so grateful my parents don’t have access to social media or the world’s stage while in cognitive decline.
From claiming the war was won “in the first hour” to issuing threats of genocide, here’s how Trump’s timeline of imaginary victories against Iran played out.

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric
I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.
They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno
In an active lawsuit against the FDA, the state of Missouri is arguing that access to the abortion drug mifepristone has reduced teen birth rates, thereby harming its political representation in Congress. It’s an argument being made in federal court not just on Fox
I thought my BlueAnon hate mail would be nicer than the stuff from QAnon folks but it’s exactly the same: Jewish stuff, conspiracists claims about being bought, psyop accusations, “protecting pedos”, and a lot of refusing to read but yelling at me anyway. Anyway! www.ms.now/news/sascha-...
lmao this is one of those fun little domino commodities that doesn't seem like a crucial lynchpin of the global economy but definitely is
lol remember when Republicans howled in indignation after Obama released $1.7B of frozen Iranian funds and all we got in exchange was a multinational deal to massively curtail its nuclear program?
“Forest Fights” in rural Virginia show how far-right extremists are turning combat sports into an ideological battleground, uniting networks like the the Active Club movement, & the Hammerskin Nation in staged clashes, fusing old skinhead groups with younger members into a “violence-ready” movement.
Elon Musk: The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth Hans Mahncke @@HansMahncke •2d If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out. x.com/KTLA/ status/20... 9:37 PM • 4/8/26 • 24M Views
Musk previously promised to build a 16-passenger electric vehicle system that drove autonomously at 155 mph.
In reality, he built a short tunnel in Vegas where humans drive regular Teslas 35 mph.
But sure….
Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
