Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.

This really is a great episode that explains the "mystery" of why the World Trade Center was so deadly for so long- organized crime and their associates in New York politics and real estate profited from it.

The story of how the mafia & World Trade Center intertwined--from the complex's conception, through its construction & maintenance, to its destruction & nightmarish clean-up--is easily the most horrifying story we've ever covered on The Outfit. I was shocked how little it had been looked at. 🧵:

What a hedge fund actually is, is a boiler room in the sky, revolving entirely around insider trading. A dope like Bill Ackman was born on second, thought he hit a double, and advanced home solely through organized white collar crime.

Imagine Danny McBride as John Wick. That's Paul Tatum, a hustler from Oklahoma who, like many '90s Americans, tried to corner the pristine Russian market--only to be out-capitalismed by Russia's surging underworld. APPLE: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/show/6Y82Liu...

I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response.
Miyazaki said, "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." Scam Altman said we can surround the solar system with a Dyson Sphere to hold data centers. Miyazaki is right, and Altman is wrong.
Miyazaki tells stories that blend the ordinary and the fantastic in ways people find deeply meaningful. Altman tells lies for money.
And I'm glad they're lies. Because the makers of Al aren't damned by their failures, they're damned by their goals. They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude. Their dream is to invent new forms of life to enslave.

if newsom, buttigieg etc were saying that it was "stupid, smug shitheads" they were willing to literally sacrifice in the name of some imaginary compromise with conservatives, liberals would not be so quick to accept and full-throatedly evangelize those conditions.

Today's episode of THE OUTFIT is about Ken Eto, the Japanese-American Mafia boss who I also spent five years writing an article about for Chicago Magazine. I think you'll find his story has a certain resonance for discussions of crime & immigration today... youtu.be/BXj_Be7sIZc?...

I promoted this last week upon announcement but now that I have listened to episode 1, I must encourage you further. Very fun listen that goes deep into the subject matter without feeling like it's talking at you, but inviting you in for a conversation. Greatly enjoyed it and it's on my weekly list!

hakeem jeffries is not misguided, clueless, stupid or useless. like the rest of the establishment dems, including cuomo of course, he is working on behalf of the rich and all of his choices and actions reflect that. mamdani is their enemy. being in the same party as him means less than nothing.

viewing trumps america through organized crime clarifies many things that seem contradictory or inexplicable. the combination of psychopathic gangsterism and shameless lying, the violent intimidation, deploying federal resources like a protection racket, and above all greed. bsky.app/profile/osul...

Humbly asking all my followers to please check out The Outfit, a podcast about how the story of organized crime explains America today - first episode out now. It's personally important to me because the more popular the show gets, the higher the chance grows that President Trump orders Dan killed.
