It WAS the important takeaway from that event. I mean, you're in the minority here. People remember 9/11 largely as the Bush admins Reichstag fire: An excuse for a group of racist, murderous right-wingers to take our rights and slaughter Arabs in the Middle East to steal their wealth.

Hey can you do this math for Palestinians/Gazans? Or do they not count? Start in 1948 or just the recent and ongoing genocide.

You wrote all of that just to say: 'Imagine, if I, as a politician, told the truth.' And then proceeded to write a book about how telling the truth is bad and that nationalism is all you really value.

Pete Hegseth picked Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey to lead a Pentagon future of war project. It's: -Corrupt! Big Trump donors. -Conflict of interest! Defense contractors who will recommend their products. -Dangerous! Embeds techno-fascists deeper into US defense architecture. My latest, in @ms.now:
ms.now
Opinion | Oligarchs like Elon Musk are tightening their grip on the Pentagon
A new initiative named Project Meridian is just one way GOP donors’ influence over defense policy is increasing.

@sunraysunray.bsky.social, @mikejbeggs.bsky.social, and I are in @jacobinmag.bsky.social today with an essay adapted from the first chapter of The Blueprint, explaining why opposition to capitalism has to come attached to serious answers to concerns about the economic viability of transcending it.
jacobin.com
Being Against Capitalism Isn’t Enough
Socialists need more than a critique of capitalism. We need a concrete account of how a socialist economy could work — and make ordinary people’s lives better.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

US withdrawal from Iraq was scheduled a few years in advance. But with Iran hitting US bases there, and Iran-allied Iraqi militias launching drones at Saudi Arabia, the withdrawal looks—to everyone in the region, and the wider world—like the US under fire ceding more of the Middle East to Iran.

The plan for the war is to the lie to the public about the war. This sometimes leads to ridiculous things, like the president announcing that Iran wants to lower gas and diesel prices but he won't let them, and telling the Iranians that they're right to see the upcoming US midterms as leverage.

You gotta just not care. I think so many people allow a small and vocal audience to shape what they say and do bc being intellectually honest and consistent in your beliefs is costly. But at the end of the day why have a platform if you won't stick to your guns
