Reading the news. A mistake. Sure looks bad. I’m thinking that trump is one of the worst humans, the most despicable human, to have come along in quite a while. I’m filled with such feelings of anger, hatred, contempt. Wow. Bad stuff. Really really really bad.

So let me get this straight. Todd Blanche interviews Maxwell. She tells him Trump was not involved in Epstein child sex activities. Trump claims “case closed” as to him, pardons Maxwell. ??

“MyPillow Founder Will Not Pay Winnings for Election Challenge, Court Rules” What ever happened to arbitration awards being non reversible in the absence of undisclosed conflicts or a ruling beyond scope of arbitration agreement?

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Elon Musk is still deeply tied to the Trump regime, still fueling fascist rhetoric and using his immense wealth to warp government policy and buy elections. Take Tesla down Saturday. ➡️ Watertown 10:00 ➡️ Dedham 11:00 ➡️ Norwell 11:00 ➡️ Boston 12:00 ➕ Monday 12:00 Dedham #TeslaTakedown

yes. that’s not even the worst part. those animals, most specifically genetically engineered to answer specific scientific questions, represent 100s of man-years of work by highly skilled ppl. it’s not something you flip a switch and turn back on. we are losing decades of progress.

Look, there are a lot of valid criticisms to make of the Ivies, but “fuck this administration, we’re making our civics courses free so you can understand WHY fuck this administration” is a baller move. 3 cheers for prosocial spite.

No secret that 2 summary judgment motions are pending in the Kadrey v Meta & Bartz v Anthropic. I suspect the Cop Office wanted to put its thumbs on the scales rather than let the judges decide based on the parties’ arguments.
