The only thing Ukraine has killed in Russia is a massive disinformation project to disrupt the midterms.
Tweet that a ukrainains strike on a Russian data center disrupted the Kremlin’s information operations. Ukrainian flag imposed with the words “glory to Ukraine”

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

One thing that Ossoff does - thank god - is COMPLETELY abandon the weird liberal wisdom that you should never say your opponent’s name. He says “Mike Collins” about 30 times in this clip, not “my opponent” or some such, and the directness make his attacks exponentially more brutal.

The psychopaths in charge of America believe violence and savagery are how you prove you’re strong, and every problem is solved through the application of strength, and if problems weren’t solved you weren’t strong enough, and thus problems are met with perpetual escalation of violence and savagery

this is exactly what benjamin meant by the aestheticization of politics - fascism is, at root, affective/emotional (to be honest i think you could throw out almost everything benjamin has to say about class politics, specifically, in that essay and still have a coherent and useful theory of fascism)

At a really fundamental level Leo XIV is just a person with sound, well-reasoned, moral stances on the world and how life should be lived who isn't afraid to say those things in public. That kind of person simply does not make sense to business leaders and politicians for whom speech is convenience.

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."

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.
