Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

Universities bring in foreign students ... to undercut the wages of American residents? What? This is exactly backwards. Foreign students subsidize the tuition of American students. I wonder why the VP who follows Nazis online has this all wrong. Probably an innocent, non-racist mistake.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Chicago started burning on October 8, 1871. Here is a Chicago magazine story I wrote five years ago, for the 150th anniversary:

The Great Chicago Fire, As Told By Those Who Lived Through It
As the city marks the 150th anniversary of the defining event, ROBERT LOERZEL mines the archival record to offer a compelling portrait of what it was like to live through those disastrous days.

They started texting with a 16-year-old. After two years, they offered to sell him a gun. They consider that "stopping a terrorist attack." And they are calling it heroic. What an absolute embarrassment.

Illinois farmers don’t want a handout — they want a fair shot at making a buck. They want stable markets and reasonable input costs. They want a chance to make a living. I’m proud to have their backs and give them the support they deserve.

Diesel costs are up 68% since Trump's war of choice in Iran began. I've signed an Executive Order to lower fuel prices for farmers during the fall harvest by allowing them to use dyed diesel in ag vehicles beyond the farm. We want to make sure they can compete and make a living.

I've played poker at dozens of casinos in my life, from the fanciest palaces in Las Vegas to crappy riverboats in the Midwest, and I can say that the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City was -- by a fucking mile -- the dirtiest, dingiest, cruddiest casino I have ever experienced in my life.

Illinois farmers need all the support we can give because of this federal administration's reckless policies. Today, we are launching low-interest loans to help farmers finance infrastructure, expand capacity, and navigate this challenging market.

"We don't want to turn into a banana republic, so we won't try to rein in corporations" is the kind of thing you say if you don't know what makes a banana republic a banana republic, and instead want to be a banana republic where the bananas are data centers.

We have something old and interesting to show you today. This is the Geneva Bible or Breeches Bible. It dates to 1607!
We are looking at a slightly beaten up and aged leather book witt broken hasps. We are looking at the same leather bound book from the side showing the yellow, aged and worn pages. Remnants of two leather hasps and their fixings can still be seen.

the tech bro who uses AI to play fantasy football for him is being dragged online. no one has ever been quite so mad frankly.
"but you've automated your hobby"
...
no, fantasy football is not my hobby. it's more of a social obligation.
my actual hobbies are gainful and awesome and mostly involve being outside. not fixating on team news and sportsball RNG. i have more time to do them because I use Al for all the boring stuff in my life.
