In the middle of book 2 (audiobook) of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series & I get the hype. Great narration of the audiobook (main character is a healthy mix of Brock Sampson & Bob from Bob’s Burgers)

It’s not broken. It’s working exactly as designed. Which is why we call for Medicare-for-all. Better a new system than propping a system up that only benefits the wealthy.

I adore you Leon, Egyptologist here, they were built by a largely volunteer force (corvée labor) of 25,000. The builders were very well fed, paid in bread and beer, and received excellent medical care. There was no slavery whatsoever, it is a common misconception.

"When they say we’re coming for anti-fascists, what they’re calling Antifa is a boogeyman that doesn’t exist. What they’re doing is they’re going after anybody who says no to them," said union electrician & activist Cal Robinet after being indicted with the Minnesota 15 on conspiracy charges.

Here come four months of centrists attacking the left with far greater existential fury than they ever aimed at Trump (because they prefer Trump and helped him win):
Centrist Democrats
Rebuke Party's Left
Wing:
We Are Capitalist,
Not Socialist'
Following high-profile primary victories by
democratic socialists, some moderate
Democrats are advocating a different
course, highlighting tensions in the party.

Gavin Newsom, interesting use case. You can go on Steve Bannon’s podcast all you want, do your little concession parade, reluctantly toss people who don’t look like you to the wolves. But they will still come after you. No matter who you threw under the bus first, you’ll be right there with them.

from the moment it was founded activists and human rights watchdogs have warned that DHS was constructed to be an almost unaccountable private paramilitary force at the president's sole disposal.

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case
Judge Breyer: Okay. Thank you very much. Juror 96, I think that you also have strong views. Could you set them aside?

Juror 96: I believe that in a criminal trial, I would feel morally obligated to convict. However, in a civil trial, I feel I can set those views aside.

Judge Breyer: That’s interesting.

Juror 96: I’m happy to expand.

Judge Breyer: Sure.

Juror 96: I believe it would be to the benefit of the human race were Mr. Musk to be sent to prison. However, I don’t believe a loss of several hundreds of millions of dollars in a civil trial would be even a drop in the bucket to his wealth, so it doesn’t really matter. Therefore, I would be able to consider the facts.

Israel has killed over 250 journalists since October 2023. Some of those they systematically hunted down and assassinated (just last week they murdered Amal Khalil in horrific fashion). These mewling cunts had their suck n fuck festival interrupted.

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

Let's be clear at the outset: If Iran holds a US pilot, that person is a prisoner of war, not a "hostage." The terminology matters and we should insist that the media use the correct language for the situation.
