In honor of #IndigenousPeoplesDay I am sharing this amazing documentary about Maekiaphan, a Taino woman from the U.S. Virgin Islands, on her journey to reclaim her Taino heritage and to become the first woman Kasike (chief) of the Taino tribe. "We are Taino" youtu.be/kpX6dpC5MQg?...

“One might even ask what took them this long to stage the first federally produced snuff film of the modern era, since today’s conservative movement is absolutely saturated in violence — encouraging it, glorifying it, and from time to time, committing it.“ By Paul Waldman

The Public Doesn’t Want Hegseth’s Snuff Film, and Even Republicans Know It
Like all fascist movements, MAGA is built on violence - but they can tell when they’ve gone too far.

I've been toying around a lot with the idea of libidinal rationality, which is when people act not according to strict rationality of maximising profit or returns or sustainability, but toward what provides them with libidinal satisfaction, which trumps everything else

Fuck the Court of Appeals here. If showing video of an agent of the state engaged in their official duties carries with it the risk of inflaming the public that should cut in FAVOR of releasing the footage. Otherwise you’re setting precedent that the government has a right to concealing wrongdoing

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

I'm surprised @nypd.bsky.social released this video. It looks exactly like a carjacking. Any sane human would race away as well (I definitely would have!), especially with their child in the car! If ICE doesn't show a longer video exonerating these thugs, that's on them. (we know it doesn't)

Americans need to understand the stakes of the upcoming elections. Too many news orgs rely on “horse race coverage”, “sanewashing”, “false equivalence”, “euphemism” and other inadequacies. Endorse our pro-democracy election coverage guidelines. www.mediaanddemocracyproject.org/2026-electio...
Ahead of the midterms, journalists must:
• Make threats to democracy clear.
Protect Americans from disinformation.

GA Dem Rev. Sen. Raphael Warnock accuses Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth of "twisting the scriptures yet again," referring to his invocation of "here I am; send me" in speeches. Warnock notes the passage is from Isaiah, a section of the Bible he just wrote a book about. www.youtube.com/shorts/befxy...

Important to remember that it's not *9* justices determining our fate, it's only *5* - the other 4 are practically irrelevant if they are always out-voted. We need a 13-justice SCOTUS just to get that number up to 7. #ExpandSCOTUS

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

Originalism reminds me of Conservative Christians who invoke draconian Old Testament scriptures when they don't like something Jesus taught. Cherry picking something a Founder said once is like leaning on a single law in Leviticus while ignoring all the inconvenient OT scripture that Jesus quoted.

Depends. When we were living on the UWS of Manhattan, we had 2 great little markets less than a block away. Fresh bread and fruit every day. Took a cab once every week or 2 to Fairway which was next to a Citarella with the best fish. Lots of choices, but idyllic. Other neighborhoods are different.

Then there are those of us engineers who literally touch grass in our work and have no use for AI beyond the occasional neural network optimization. Coders are a strange hybrid of linguist and logician (engineers, meh) that create rules for telling computers to do stuff. It's gotten weird.

Ugh. This is actually serious. The thing is, AI can only do the kind of mass destruction AI weirdos like Dario Amodei are warning about if someone tells it to. Apparently, our Sec of Defense wants to do exactly that. AI is not a threat. The psychotic idiots who control it are the existential threat.
