NEW: In ‘24, the FBI sought to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump eviscerated the FBI & DOJ public corruption teams. ProPublica unearthed the investigation and you can read it 👇 www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...

One reason I'm cautiously optimistic about societal benefits from using AI more widely for information by the general public is that it isn't really competing against The Truth, it's competing against THIS

If we surrender we might as well go all the way and offer them restored diplomatic and economic relations. It'd at least drop a titanic wedge into their internal politics and scare the bejesus out of the Likudniks

Given how little Trump reads, this two-page MOU probably seemed like a Terms of Service agreement. So I guess it tracks that he signed it before reading it

To me this is by far the top explanation for Gen Z nihilism. If you don't brand and commodify every aspect of your life, you're falling behind. If you're not getting one over on the next guy in crypto or prediction markets, you're a sucker. Beyond Marx's alienation of labor--alienation of personhood

The circle of terms Iran is willing to accept and the circle of terms Israel is willing to accept do not overlap. I don't think there is anywhere close to enough understanding of the terror Israel feels about even baby steps towards a US-Iran rapproachment, and the terms will look like that.

In 1872, the Chicago Evening Post published an absolutely brutal editorial mocking people who objected to sharing public spaces with Black people. Still some dated language but a remarkable piece. “Hire a carriage and you can sit all alone by your own sweet self for $2 an hour.”

1872 article reading, in part: “AYou do not like, reader, to sit by the side of a well-behaved negro in a theatre's dress circle? Very well; take a box. If your antipathies are not worth $5 extra, they are not very important.
You do not like, fastidious madam, to sit by the side of "some offensive creature" in the car? Very well; hire a carriage, and you can sit all alone with your own sweet self for $2 an hour. But you cannot expect to charter and monopolize a Persian heaven on wheels for five cents, you know. You object, dear sir, to risk the chance of meeting… Fred. Douglass, Alexander Dumas, Minister Bassett, John Jones, or Jared Grey? Very well; you have an inalienable and God-given right to object. You can avoid these people by having your meals served in your room. Isn't your pet aversion worth a dollar to you? ... To insult people because of their color is bad enough; but it is mean and cowardly to make them pay the expenses of their own crucifixion. “. Likely by George Mclellan or his brother.

This is a paranoid fantasy that the media encourages but it’s actually not true. The US produces a very educated populace. It’s just that the sheer scale of our R&D requires drawing on the finest talents of a far larger population base via immigration.

One of the most frustrating things to me about the Gaza spam - the fraud notwithstanding - is that the problem is there isn't enough food, not that there's food spoiling on the shelf because no one can afford it. At the very best you're just enabling one family to outbid a different one.

Often also lost in this is this wasn't the first democracy Iran lost to foreign intervention. They had a European style constitution early in the 20th century before most of Europe did. Britain and Russia took care of that. In their eyes, the US was different - and we were, until we betrayed them.
