No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

This is like Kendrick and Drake if both of them were Drake.

Ideally, government funding of the media would not depend on the executive branch, it would be institutionalized in a way that it would not sway with election cycles

This is bitter sweet and stunning

Trump announces 500B in AI funding. Five days ago.

Deepseek r1 release. 8 days ago.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.

Beautiful.

Joe Rogan’s theory of politics being “I’m just a little podcast man who just asks questions” is starting to ring hollow even for some folks in his audience.

We are all very comfortable using the 1930s/40s German public as our case study in collective guilt. I think more fruitful and relevant examples can be found in the United States’ own history: Indian genocide, slavery, Jim Crow, Chinese exclusion, Japanese internment, etc from the 17th century on.

you don't see a lot of "my job on the commune after the revolution" posts anymore since everyone making them realized they'd rather die than be occasionally inconvenienced in any way in service to their neighbors and community

the week between Christmas and New Year's Day is like being at the airport

Elon Musk and JD Vance publicly supporting the neo-Nazis of Germany's AfD, just as an AfD supporter/Elon Musk fan kills 5 and injures 100+ in a terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Germany. Vance's pro-AfD statement came *after* the attack.
It's bad. Not sure what else to say. Dark times ahead.

A man says "I just finished another watch of Hunter x Hunter and I have now spent 3 hours thinking very hard about what my nen ability would be." Another man replies "you're 38..." The first man goes back to poring over an arcane shit of rules and says "yes, I have factored that into my calculations."
