I watched Eastman, in real time, testify to the Georgia General Assembly that it was their *duty* to overturn my vote in 2020. He lied about evidence. He misled his client about the law. Law profs who back wannabe coup leaders and authoritarians should retire because what’s the point of law at all?

Just to highlight how profoundly the original Pulp Fiction line (as well as the prayer Hegseth recites) greatly expanded on the original Bible verse in question, this is Ezekiel 25:17 in its entirety (KJV, which, given the language used, is likely what Pulp Fiction is pulling from):

The walk to the Tor. Taken this morning in Glastonbury. Golden clouds and hints of blue.

Trump's governance style doesn't work. It's so bad one yearns to cry out: Bring back Hillary, bring back the Obama wonks, give us a thousand think-tank white papers.

I'm updating the famous Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" to "May you live in incompetent times" to be more relevant to those of us living in the United States right now.

Every crisis becomes content.

Every decision becomes branding.

Every failure gets spun into “winning.”

At some point you have to ask:

Is anyone actually governing?

Treasury moves to gut financial research office Documents seen by POLITICO show plans are underway to reduce the data agency’s workforce, ahead of bigger proposed budget and staffing changes.

The Treasury Department is working on a plan to gut its office that researches financial market risks.

Because the office is funded by fees on the financial industry, this won't save taxpayers money. But it will make it harder to spot and prevent the next crisis.

6) chaos, misery, and death. Our economy would collapse. Yet here is the NYT applauding it. It is the literal equivalent of printing a piece saying, "Look how amazing, this man is powering his home with a nuclear reactor! Pretty soon everyone will be doing it!"

What's remarkable about our time is that our so-called leaders can't seem to understand that firing 20-40% of the white-collar workforce in five years would lead to unimaginable--

3) done that spectacularly for 250 years. But AI's creators have confused the method with the goal. If any kind of productivity harms human well-being it must be stopped, and that has been done throughout our history: slavery was very productive and efficient, so was child labor and forcing people--

2) productivity/efficiency at all costs reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of not only economics but the Enlightenment principles upon which our capitalist system is based.
The purpose of increasing efficiency and productivity is to increase human wealth and well-being. And it has--

How A.I. Helped One Man (and His Brother) Build a $1.8 Billion Company

1) Amazing: @nytimes prints a puff-piece about a "one-man billion-dollar company built with AI" without once mentioning the social cost.
Unlike earlier technological advances, AI's aim is to remove ALL human labor from economic activity. The celebration of--

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

Trump says he is ‘absolutely’ considering withdrawing US from Nato The president, a longtime critic of Nato, has stepped up his rhetoric after allies refused to join the US-Israel war on Iran

Trump gives Putin money to pursue the Ukraine war.
Trump threatens to withdraw from NATO.
It's the same question since Helsinki in 2018:

If Trump actually was Putin's man, would he be acting any differently from how he is now?

The answer: not at all.

Classic propaganda: Oh no! MMR vaccine linked to 26 times the number of deaths from measles itself!
Except there were literally only THREE deaths from measles in that entire period because everyone was vaccinated! Which means 75 deaths (maybe, no cause determined) among 300,000,000 vaccinations.

Federal Judge Approves Trump Effort to Obtain List of Jews From Penn

Time for an "I am Spartacus" moment, 1000's of Penn students claiming they're Jews in order to thwart the govt/Palantir's surveillance blitzkrieg. Trump never cared about antisemitism anyway. It was just a convenient vector for his attack on left wing ideology.

How many times have each of us heard some detail like this and thought, "This. This alone is reason enough to know these are all evildoers who will stop at nothing to destroy what America stands for."

And then the next six outrages happen and ones like this go unaddressed in the chaos.

Detained by ICE, he missed multiple cancer treatments. Now he’s in hospice. Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

Oudone Lothirath missed four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention and received no medical care there. Now he will likely die in a matter of days. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

The Supreme Court Could Make It Harder to Vote by Mail in the Midterms

When polling places experience a delay, people already in line when the polls close are guaranteed the chance to vote. Even if the delay goes past midnight.

How is this different from ballots post-marked by election day but delayed by the post office?

It's not.
