I have no idea what horrible thing Matt Yglesias did today, and I'm gonna lean into that. Y'all already made me look at pics of Macklemore all week, I've gotta draw the line somewhere.

The point is: Trump isn’t doing Putin’s bidding because Putin has some secret leverage over Trump. Trump is doing Putin’s bidding because they have a shared interest in ending democracy globally. Trump follows Putin’s lead because Putin has been leading the project since 2012.

rich powerful white men in the US understandably DO believe that losing your job and having to see people say mean stuff about you on the Internet is the WORST POSSIBLE FATE THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE because that has historically been the case for THEM. we must make them fear far worse.

A significant amount of safety research has existed for decades on Human Machine Interfaces proving exactly this. It's exhausting to watch money and effort wasted in a tech hype cycle to constantly undo and redo what we already know in safety engineering.

It’s sort of funny how in the conservative “intellectual” mind the 2019-21 “peak woke” period was just the lower orders getting uppity and not itself a reaction to elite resistance to punishing sex crimes and a corpus of footage of police killings generated by smartphone adoption

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you. We will not accept this intimidation.

That Trump included praise for Eric Adams in his authoritarian threats is unsurprising, but highlights the urgency of bringing an end to this Mayor’s time in City Hall. At the very moment when MAGA Republicans are attempting to destroy the social safety net, kick millions of New Yorkers off of healthcare and enrich their billionaire donors at the expense of working families, it is a scandal that Eric Adams echoes this President’s division, distraction and hate.

Voters will resoundingly reject it in November.

Nothing--absolutely nothing--stops these Dems from looking at the anchor, saying "what on earth is wrong with you?" and going back to talking about 17 million people losing their healthcare. If you make them look stupid for doing this, they will stop doing it.

A jokey meme with two photos of a car's cockpit with steering wheel, brakes and accelearator pedal visible. The first photo is captioned "normal people," the second, "physicists."

The "normal people" photo has the accelerator pedal labeled "gas", the brake pedal labeled "brake," the "physicists" version has both the accelerator and brake pedals labeled "accelerator," because physicists.
