"BRITAIN BECOMES DUMP FOR THE NAXI EXILES. Scores of Jews and other exiles are being smuggled into England in small foreign ships, for £25 a time." Daily Mirror, 1938. Sound familiar?
Headline: Britain becomes dump for the Nazi exilesSCORES of Jews and other exiles, abandoning their homes in the Nazi terror, are being smuggled into England by the captains of small foreign ships who slink inside the three-mile limit at night and put ashore their human cargoes for £25 a time.
This smuggling, once sporadic, is now a racket earning thousands of pounds weekly for captains of French, Dutch and Belgian trawlers.
It was exposed entirely at Hove, yesterday when two foreign seamen were gaoled for smuggling a German in at Shoreham harbour last Monday.
Britain's immigration officers are helpless. They know that Hitler is dumping his unwanted people here. They cannot stop other Mid-European Governments seizing on Britain's lethargy to lower their own unemployment figures.
Every day refugee Spaniards, Jews, Ger mans and Austrians are slipping into Britain Employment agencies are inundated by fran-tic appeals from foreigners who, scared by European unrest, want British security.

I am skeptical of the most florid claims being made about AI's destructive potential, but I do think we need to heavily regulate AI for the sole reason that I would like to hear less about all of these people.

the retconning is to support the argument that "trump won in 2024 because of anti-woke." but other than some nebulous "vibe shift" and the prominence of a few podcasters, there is vanishingly little hard evidence for this claim.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

Universal healthcare is a wildly popular centrist position. It is also a pro business position as it boosts labor market dynamism and removes what for most firms is a non core operation and cost. Asking how it will be paid for in a system as rife w/ inefficiencies as the US sort of misses the point

A Marxist parable.
Vincent Bevins 
5h
I once had a conversation in a London pub with a professor at Oxford University. "I think Marxism can only be interpreted as youthful rebellion against one's parents," he said. "All the Marxists | know have rich parents."
This was confusing to me, as I have spent a lot of time in Latin America. Like it or not, Marxism has played and continues to play a major role in working-class organizing in Latin America. There the inconvenient fact that the current state in China, like it or not, was created by a Marxist-Leninist people's war, and so on. But then I figure it out.
"Ok, you don't know any Marxists without rich parents," I said. "Do you know any people withou
rich parents?"

It was like watching Argentina talk to their therapist for two straight hours. The Argentine players threw tantrums, lashed out, complained, got mad, reenacted their childhoods, cursed, and knocked things over-well, not Messi; he was mostly just anonymous, running around the far side of the pitch like a repressed memory the patient couldn't quite recover-while the Spanish players stayed calm and kept playing their relentless, clinical, weirdly chilly soccer. Six-yard pass after six-yard pass, like And how did that make you feel, Mr. Romero?

Black text on a white page that reads: 

For working New Yorkers, every minute matters. But for too long, our buses have been stuck in traffic instead of keeping pace with the city that never sleeps. 

Today, I'm proud to unveil Next Step — our roadmap to faster, more reliable bus service across all five boroughs. We'll increase bus speeds by up to 20%, and save riders as much as six minutes on their daily commute.

We're also expanding accessible bus stops, adding more shelters and seating, strengthening bus lane enforcement, improving real-time arrival information, and building the next generation of bus corridors with protected bus lanes, greener streets, and faster, more frequent service.

Every minute a New Yorker spends waiting for a late bus is time away from family, work, school, or rest. This plan is about giving people that time back, and building a city that works better for the people who keep it running.
