Is he talking about the 44 day war that happened in 2022 and 2 day follow on skirmish in '23? I know it's fool's folly to try to understand any of the bullshit he says, but I'm really confused as to what he might even be trying to refer to with this lie.

The thing that's so horrifying about this, and I can't find a better word, is that the people in charge do not care. If TCM is not as revenue positive an outlet as the billionaires demand then it will die, and there is no amount of industry pressure that will change that.

WTF is going on in hospital that this is at least a third person who has been released into ICE custody with a bullet still in their body. What kind of medical care is that? Who is making these decisions?

What this blog post can't tell us but what media coverage should have is what the 25 year-old driver of this fairly clean and underutilized looking vehicle does that he needs to convey a 2 ton oversize pick up through the urban streets of Queens.

This encapsulated my feelings about public facing gen AI quite beautifully.

Imagine if less than four years after automatic doors were invented, you heard someone saying it's impossible to open a door with a doorknob.

They say this even though countless people, most people in fact are still using doorknobs worldwide. Even though they themselves lived without automatic doors until just a few years ago.

And when you point this out they say sure, sure, it's not literally impossible, but it's so hard that it's unreasonable to expect someone to do it that way anymore.

So you stand there, staring at this perfectly able-bodied person who's insisting that not only can they not turn a doorknob to open a door, but almost no one can - despite ample evidence that most people can and do open doors all the time.

Anyway, that's how I feel whenever people say it's impossible to do something without ChatGPT.

The Venn diagram of people who are more interested in Mike Collins today because Jon Ossoff spotlit his Neo-Nazi ties and people who are desperate to watch a livestream of the Fort Hood shooter being executed is a circle. We really aren't coming to grips with how many vile people surround us.

I'm completely weary of criticisms of Democrats because they don't behave the way Trump/Republicans do. Being different from the people corroding everything should be the whole point. When they do act like Republicans it's to parrot Republican bigotry to capture mushy middle voters. No thank you.

A lot of the focus of the outbreak in Pennsylvania has been on the Amish communities in the eastern half of the state, but this little outbreak is centered around a school community that is a hotbed of the genteel, soft-spoken brand of white Christian nationalism endemic in suburban areas.

A small note of correction - Jews were never given citizenship by the Algerian state. In 1963, when the Algerian nationality law was passed, the 15,000 Jews who had remained in the country were denounced as “European Settlers” and denied citizenship.

Whenever I visit, always struck by the disjunction between "Washington" the synecdoche for US empire and "Washington" the beautiful city for the people, just packed with public good and beauty, a promise to be something better. It's good to be upset about the latter's destruction.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

As the Trump admin is calling in thousands of people here for years who are protected from persecution in their home country, Tom Homan is on TV saying people who want to avoid being sent to Africa can just "self-deport." So it's accept persecution or be deported to a third country.

CBS News
@CBSNews
Tom Homan, President Trump’s border czar, said people in the U.S. illegally can avoid being sent to “third countries” in Africa and other places around the world by self-deporting to their home countries.

“There’s your quick answer. If you self-deport … you're 100% likely to go to your home country,” Homan told CBS News’

This past week, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to continue its third-country deportation effort.

I'm late to the discussion but I don't think that social media ruined everything. Neither did smartphones and instant easy access to the world. The enshittification and problems are the same here as the wider world. Advertising. A global ban on advertising would change EVERYTHING.
