It’s perfectly obvious to this white boomer woman that Trump’s favorite target is women of color. It’s also obvious that those women are some of those most actively protecting our rights. You and Ilhan are the heroes in the story. Thank you.

“Women’s Work” by Elizabeth Wayland Barber deals largely with justice and fiber arts, I think Penelope is in there too.

Any idea for “strengthening marriages” coming from the right/techbros is already an attack on women when canceling no fault divorce and women’s right to vote is on the table. These men really think drugs will cover up their lack of effort as a partner, NTM their violence, infidelity and contempt.

A flaw in the current social sciences is that capitalism demands that you quantify, categorize and monetize everything, to validate the “sciences” part of the name, but also to manipulate the method and results for profit.

The rhetoric of tech in a nutshell: I value convenience, efficiency, ease first and also have no capacity to recognize humanity, my own or others, but feel qualified to run the world. Someone send an army of divorce lawyers; after all this guy already wants to disconnect.

I am reminded of Dr Frankenstein hoisting his dead bodies into the sky to catch a bolt of intense energy to make life happen. What are data centers but the same impulse.

AI safety regs: Laughable, because the techbros don’t want safety. They are busy summoning demons. More accurately, they are feeding AI with destructive sources then standing back to see if the agents will act on them. Sure enough, they will. Move fast and break things, remember.

It should be obvious that the main reason most other rapist kids got off easy was not because of their potential future careers, but because their parents are wealthy and connected.

A Blade graphic with the words "Two years after Helene, we are still two cities" over a photo of a flooded river.

In smaller text: Behind the marketing, Asheville remains deeply divided two years after Helene, marked by worsening inequality and a government that has made the aftermath far, far worse

The GOP should be blocked from holding any political office. It has been done in UK and Germany. Let the NeverTrumps reconstitute a new conservative party. We don’t need to tolerate a single fascist in our government.

They ARE stupid, but also, logic and dialog are woke in their view, so they just avoid ever using those skills. Instead of debate, they prefer bullying, which feels like winning with much less effort. They are also lazy.

To add a little context to this story, both Cobb and Forsyth Counties are white flight suburbs of Atlanta. The story of continued racism from them could fill its own book. Cobb created its own bus service when Marta rail expanded into N. Atlanta to block Black Atlantans from going there.

AI will replace those caseworkers, and every job in every industry, that is the end game for corporate and government bean-counters. Belief that regulations will stop this is naive.

...and then develop the stolen land for new settlers. Technology is on the side of the colonizers. Genocide & cruelty are actual government policy, supported by the majority of the country’s people. Why oh why would Israel come to US to get support & guidance? Something familiar about it?

So, take Isr**l, here you have a country, sketchily created, brutally murdering the inhabitants of the country they’ve taken and dehumanizing the whole original population. Included in their plans is to march the survivors out of the contested lands to some distant arid and unfamiliar terrain...

McConnell (may he rest in shit) was quoted saying his goal was one party government. This was back when Obama was first elected. He succeeded in that goal, and destroyed his party and the the Congress in the process.

His first term I thought of Trump as evil Chauncey Gardener. This term he is evil Truman Burbank… Marcotte: “They’re putting on a fake convention so that the president can have his fake attention… like, a fake event that’s all about big boy having an extra birthday party.”

This reminds me of how the social sciences have longed for credibility as an actual science for so long, we all forget that they are not. The downfall of all of these whiz kids is believing statistics can explain everything and forgetting that bias (& ignorance) can warp stat methods and results.

Not just the writing. TDB on boat bombings: “some have cited [them] as war crimes” and the undeclared war with Iran: “polls show is unpopular.” Media that can’t call breaking laws as just that is defending the perpetrator. They are giving Hegseth a boost here; the story is a fluff job.
