This is part of what makes executions so morally depraved. It is a sober calculation on the part of the state to engage in extreme sanction. In Hegseth's case, he's taking it yet further still. He wants a livestream where people can bathe in blood for pleasure.

There are moments of extreme exigency where violence, of even that soul-curdling nature, is necessary to forestall a greater evil. This is the opposite. An extravagant and unnecessary indulgence in bloodshed for its own sake against a paraplegic who has already been punished.

This is a moral atrocity and it needs to be loudly condemned as such. There is a reason that democracies *don't* do publicly televised executions (and why many don't execute people at all): it inculcates and rewards bloodthirst, which corrupts the spirit and corrodes the foundation of the polity.

Nothing enrages an evil man more than the sight of people doing good. Nothing makes him more furious than the realization that deep down, we aren't all like him. That we find his thoughts abhorrent, his beliefs foul, and his soul festering and corrupt.

California Democrats have been exposed as actively pushing for the Paramount-Warner Bros merger. With the new company giving David Ellison a $150 million bonus while firing Warner Bros' hitmakers, those Dems must own whatever happens next, writes Harold Meyerson. prospect.org/2026/10/08/d...

While I admire their optimism, I feel like folks predicting that all major software vendors turning their flagship products into vibe-coded horseshit will be the tipping point for mass corporate adoption of open source software don't have any perspective on how bad enterprise software already was.

I have noticed in various offline circles — particularly media and political science — it is still considered rather inappropriate to acknowledge that the US President is evidently quite insane. It's not that these people don't *know* it; they clearly do. You just aren't supposed to *say* it. 🙃

Note: That is not, in fact, what socialism is. However, this may be one of the more revealing political moments of the past decade: a leading politician openly acknowledging efforts to redefine a political term based on contemporary political rhetoric, as opposed to its original/historic meaning.

Not mentioned here: Book bans have a chilling effect on the entire industry. If someone’s work is likely to be targeted fora ban, agents and publishers will avoid them. Just look at the precipitous decline in new queer voices in traditional publishing in the past couple years.

Most of AI (in business terms) is driven by a false belief that TECHNOLOGY is what drove the internet and telecommunications booms of the last two decades. Technology unlocked better communication and business processes. THOSE then drove the boom. Tech was a means to an end, not the end in itself.

Not a fan of this tendency of San Francisco venture capitalists to use LLMs to confirm their priors that BART has really inefficient service per rider or operating hour and then using that confirmation bias output to justify their opposition to RTM.

There is a reason that AI is so attractive to fascists. It allows its users (adherents might be a better word) to hand over their decision-making, their thinking, their autonomy, to something they can convince themselves is bigger, stronger, and smarter than them.

AI tools to “detect AI” are guessing just as much as AI does when it generates things. The best resource we have is trust in our fellow humans: the journalists and writers and artists we know who still have integrity, the outlets we can still trust for facts, the researchers still doing the work.

Perfect example though of how corrupting tariffs are. Every town & business becomes dependent on little tariff carve outs, meaning that buying influence with Senators becomes mandatory to stay in business. The tariff is the mother of trusts!!!
