Goddamn it's so funny that when it's all said and done the likely death knell for the US empire was that we kept electing a guy with an unshakable knowledge that buying things from other countries is what a deficit is.

Deeply American sentence (from Davy Crockett’s wikipedia page)
Despite Crockett’s opposition to the institution of slavery in the United States, he did enslave people.

City governments are going to have to be both creative and bold when it comes to resisting ICE and the most obvious place to start here is pulling all, all, all NYPD cooperation, even incidental, with ICE. Let them do their own crowd control and traffic management.

cool ghoul
A chart featuring a ghoul, with lines pointing to various parts of the ghoul.
a big caption at the top say 
"cool ghoul! Get The Look! Ghouls are in"
The ghoul is crouching covered in blood, with his tongue out, surrounded by bones, and wearing sunglasses.
The captions are as follows:
Perpetual blood crust around mouth
body caked in ichor
wispy hair like desiccated worms
wide mouth for chomping bones
worn out loincloth for maximum dexterity
bones
gotta show off those nasty feet
$3000 sunglasses

GPS is probably the single clearest parallel to what AI is doing to human knowledge now. Before GPS, you would memorize routes (as well as an ability to improvise when needed), which allowed you to drive intuitively most of the time. Driving was sort of fun and definitely easier as a result.

No, I think Hunter Walker has the right take on this. The rhetorical intent was more or less "Just let Iran get a nuclear weapon and take out LA or SD, and you'll see that $4.50 gas is a small price to pay" etc. Not to deny that the crowd seemed to cheer the hypothetical.

Elon Musk is the complete encapsulation of the libertarian philosophy. No identity documents, deregulated diarrhea, pedophile, never faces any consequences, massively racist, conspiracist, produces nothing but CSAM and Co2, immune to courts, unpleasant to be around. He's the whole package.

The reality is that there is no non-violent way to non-consensually end a healthy human being's life. The effort spent to fool death penalty advocates into thinking they are participating in something clean and surgical makes an already barbaric spectacle disgustingly hypocritical as well.

Ten years of relentlessly hateful, comically elitist anti-democratic politics across the white people world, helpfully summarised. The wrong people are talking, the wrong people are deciding and it’s harming the careers of important people who actually matter. Smithers! Release the hounds
The incident fits a broader pattern in the discourse around 'free speech' and 'cancel culture': whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship. When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

At best, older workers will struggle to find health insurance that bridges the years before they qualify for Medicare at age 65.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists
