Bulldoze this goddamn ballroom on Day 1 of a Dem presidency. To do otherwise is to memorialize and celebrate the blatant corruption and contempt for the rule of law of this administration.

Trump’s Ballroom Is Rising at Breakneck Speed: 20 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week

Although the fate of the ballroom is tied up in court, the Trump administration argues that the project is too far along to be stopped now.

hey, this is a fairly nerdy news item, but you should absolutely know about it. (looks like there are links in other posts in the thread.) the Post Office is really contemplating not delivering ballots unless states expose their voters' data to DOJ. I hate saying read that again but, read it again

The amazing thing about writing is it's basically time travel and whenever I think about that it blows my mind. It's a genuine miracle. I mean, just think about it: a Chinese general from 2,500 years ago can point out the President of the USA is a fucking idiot. It's incredible.

This is a throwaway aside that makes it sound like Swisher is almost totally captured by the Silicon Valley interests she reports on.

With the board silent, Altman’s advisers built a public case for his return. Lehane has insisted that the firing was a coup orchestrated by rogue “effective altruists”—adherents of a belief system that focusses on maximizing the well-being of humanity, who had come to see A.I. as an existential threat. (Hoffman told Nadella that the firing might be due to “effective-altruism craziness.”) Lehane—whose reported motto, after Mike Tyson, is “Everyone has a game plan until you punch them in the mouth”—urged Altman to wage an aggressive social-media campaign. Chesky stayed in contact with the tech journalist Kara Swisher, relaying criticism of the board.

It's a lovely sentiment (and who could disagree with a reminder about loving thy neighbour), but I could really have done without the insertion of Jesus into the Artemis II comms. Humanity did this! We should be proud of this achievement all by ourselves!

I assume most of the actual reporting pointed out that this is bullshit, but this is one of those cases where even repeating the claim in a chyron or headline is irresponsible, unless the headline itself makes clear that it's not true.

Trump says "Some groups [RFK suggests the Amish] don't take vaccines or pills and have no autism. No autism". One of the most shockingly inappropriate, inaccurate, and dangerous medical statements I've ever heard coming from a President. Utterly beyond the pail.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
