Playoff baseball is great. I love feeling like I’m going to die after wallowing helplessly in a pit of existential despair.

Anthropic is losing $42 billion dollars a year and the target valuation is over $2 trillion. If that whets your appetite, feel free to jump in on meme coins from Hunter Biden and Hawk Tuah and maybe you’d be into tulip futures while you’re at it.

We’re in the middle of a hostile takeover. Liberal democracy is being replaced by authoritarians favorable to destroying general protections and representation and overseeing violent oppression and surveillance on behalf of historically wealthy oligarchs.

Everything is a crypto rug pull scam, from the meme coin bullshit to the AI bubble and fake apocalyptic panic and the entire stock market. One lie after another to grab as much money as possible before the bottom falls out.

Just enjoying a little Saturday Tucker viewing, like you do, and admiring how easily he moves from "Trump has no control and is corrupt" to Ukraine fighting Putin is part of a *globalist* conspiracy to destroy fossil fuel, build 15 minute cities, and force people to eat bugs. Great work, everyone.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

I get a real kick anymore just halfheartedly tracing the shape and trajectory of the tech assholes' eschatological delusions. Thiel with his secularized evangelical millenarism apocalyptism and all the bastardized sci-fi fantasies. It's incredible we gave historical wealth to people this stupid.

Tweet from Patrick F. Feeley with accompanying screenshot of Pete Thiel: Peter Thiel tells Mathias Döpfner the only real way to slow AI is a one-world government, and that cure may be worse than the disease (via @mdmeets).

“In theory, you could slow it down if you had genuine, deep cooperation across the whole world. But I think that would require like a one world government with real teeth, real force. And the sort of classical liberal part of me thinks that's almost frying pan into fire. It's a cure that's worse than the disease.

And then of course you can have fake global government where we have a lot of conferences, discuss it, a lot of somewhat empty statements that get put out. And then there's also, of course, a risk that it ends up being slowed down in the West and not in China.

The pope recently issued this AI encyclical, or I would characterize it as an anti-AI encyclical. And again, this is, maybe it was too harsh, but the rhetorical point I have on it is that the Communist Party of China is not going to listen to the pope. There's a chance people in the US will. And so in effect, the pope's encyclical was working for the Communist Party. I'm not saying he was an agent of the Communists, but he was at least acting as a useful idiot for the CCP.”

It's disgusting watching people buying into the "Tucker Carlson is making sense?!" bullshit and it's probably time to wrap our heads around the fact that the people susceptible to this are unconsciously fascist curious and just need the ugly delivered to them in an "acceptable" package

When the time comes for the cultural revolution necessary to get out of this mess we need to set up a cabinet position like the Department of Hobbies that supports literally anything that gets people out of these brain breaking sites and counteracts this collective breakdown

This is a really fun example of radicalized Right Wing men are LARPing as paramilitary warriors in order to gain social media clout and increase profit while also radicalizing viewers to become violent in a feedback loop that’s already led to violence and increases the likelihood of future violence.

Have to imagine it's a coincidence that a president with historically low levels of approval and an open disdain for democracy is turning the White House into a fortress and building structures with snipers and drones and championing omnipresence surveillance and directing murderous secret police.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Approval ratings don’t matter when democracy is being intentionally dismantled, opposition is captured, and there’s already an intraparty sect being prepared that will just disavow the unpopular leader and move discourse even further into fascism.

Never underestimate the desperation of a ruling class and their subordinates in the superstructure when they feel they have lost control over popular narrative and understanding.

As we get thrust into an unnecessary period of fascistic violence, war over resources, and the stripping of basic human services and dignity, the appeal of AI for the powerful isn’t just planning or war making, it’s creating a system that will do what they want and allow them to shirk all blame.

Not great when you recognize the whole AI thing reflects the mentality and worldview of white supremacist slavers looking for free labor to increase their profits while doing nothing and also living in total, all-consuming fear that there will be an uprising that leads to their violent comeuppance.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

God, can you imagine living in a country like this? Captured opposition parties that don't challenge autocratic abuses and exist only to take money and direct public discourse toward acceptance all while pretending there's nothing they can do? That sounds awful. Thank god we don't have that.

NYT's article on fake political environment in Russia: That controlled exercise in political theater is occupying the waking hours of thousands of Russian bureaucrats. Campaign teams are agitating for “opposition” parties that all conveniently support the war. Regional officials are organizing the nuts and bolts of ballots and turnout. Milquetoast candidates populate the airwaves of state television.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

When you reach a point where politics feel inaccessible and you give up on actual positive change a lot of people settle for inconsequential signifiers, consumer treats, slogans and speeches that just gift them catharsis and feed delusion, and the promise that the people you don’t like will suffer.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The through-line of everything right now is that institutions and states and systems don't have answers for the crises they themselves created and so every move and decision is just another attempt to mitigate the present damage by deciding which vulnerable person will suffer more in the moment.

It's rad that Meta used a David Bowie song to advertise their AI and it's about how there are only five years before the apocalypse and they surely had no idea because these tech assholes have literally zero comprehension skills. Got to hand it to them. Dumbest bunch of motherfuckers alive.

Oh yeah I totally believe these AI oligarch frauds who have lied about literally everything and have hit a wall in development and in fraudulent and delusional funding. I’m sure they’re really, really scared after creating a generational breakthrough no one has documented and they won’t even name.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Man, that’s wild about the AI ending humanity thing and CEOs calling for government intervention. Weird that it’s coming as the whole bubble is about to pop and will likely mean nationalization and the final merger between the tech oligarchs, the state, and the military-industrial complex.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

Tucker Carlson isnt your friend or ally When authoritarian capture takes off the conservative, captured liberals aren’t able to make leftist critiques and so the fascists outflank them on the left and the right and soothe people into abandoning vulnerable populations like trans and women. That’s it

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Yes, Trump pushing data centers, which have the popularity of watching a loved one suffer, WOULD help Democrats if Democrats weren’t also pushing data centers. Right now both parties are awash in tech and AI money, so all you get is bipartisan marketing and captured resistance.

As we’re facing one shortage after another, probably a good time to start recognizing how corporate media subtly eases people into consent and acceptance. We’ve seen this for a long time, normalizing exploitation and brutal precarity while scapegoating people for just wanting to live their lives.

Part of the problem of aggressively fighting insurgent candidates is that it reveals to the base that you’re capable of fighting and then the question changes from why can’t they fight to why are they fighting the battles they’re fighting? It’s a spiral and the desperation only makes it worse.

As perfect an encapsulation of the Right Wing mindset as I’ve seen in a minute. People who have enjoyed incredible privilege and coasted to unearned wealth and power in a system rigged for them and still convinced they are persecuted heroes battling a system that’s out to destroy them.

The virus of pundit brain convinced so many that politics is a bad reality show where what matters is giving a charismatic speech or hitting the right chord with focus group tested lines. It also requires moral courage. You can give a good speech all you want, if you fail there you're worthless.

Up next, is the Democratic Party moving too far to the left? On that topic we’ll be joined by three GOP strategists responsible for the most racist ads you’ve ever seen, a stooge who served jail time for committing crimes on behalf of Donald Trump, and the president’s second cousin. Stay tuned.

In my poor family Dolly Parton was a saint. Not because she was a rags to riches story, but because, despite her origins, she reached a place where she was undeniably in love with life. Death is so sad sometimes, but this is one where you’re just grateful there was a life lived.

Hakeem Jeffries and an army of Democratic flacks are busy trying to handle the PR crisis of Jeffries canoodling with Jared Kushner. It's gaslighting and an attempt to convince a base tired of quislings that they can't believe their own eyes. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/an-exercis...

Sometimes I wonder if the usual suspects who post “Trump can’t do _____ because it’s illegal and _____ institution will stop him” even pause before they hit post. And no, they don’t. Because they’re running too fast from reality and if they even slowed it would destroy them.

Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Kushner and Trump didn’t “plant stories about meeting with Jeffries to sow division.” You have to give up on these cathartic storylines that make you feel better about what’s actually happening: the parties, as presently constituted, on behalf of the same wealth and oligarchical classes.

Just a reminder that the fascist reversing the progress of the 20th century includes the eradication of the idea of childhood for everyone outside the wealth class, which is relatively new, and the reintroduction of child labor. The signs were there for a while but it’s impossible to deny it now.

Coming back to news that there’s a burgeoning debt crisis. And right before there’s a real chance for Democrats to gain power. That’s crazy! I guess they’ll be forced to govern like fiscal conservatives and clean up the economic mess Republicans created. Unprecedented! Thought I’d seen everything.
