What was normalized in Gaza will have lasting effects on the entire world. It was a signal to the worst of humanity that they can get away with even livestreamed genocide. And we see that very genocide expanding today, and Trump joining in not under cover like Biden, but front & center.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

They didn't let him stay. There was a heated political battle, and he won with the help of Satya Nadella from Microsoft. Microsoft had invested a shit ton in OpenAI and they bet big on Altman. So they had to back him. The opposition was ousted.

Remember when it came out that Sam Altman sexually abused his sister, and it was so bad that Open AI voted him out of the company, but he just insisted on staying like Netanyahu, so they let him, and then everyone pretended none of that happened? Yeah, “can he be trusted” is a ridiculous question.

i wrote about milton mayer’s account of german men’s lives in the nazi party and parallels with our ICE situation today www.welcometohellworld.com/the-little-a...

Early in the book, Mayer outlines some of the reasons his little men still cherish their time in the Nazi Party, and not one of them cites the carte blanche he had in those years to torment the Jews. Indeed, his friends sheepishly attest that, prior to the official expulsion of the Jews from their town, they’d all had relations with their Jewish neighbors ranging from the cordial to the intimate. The unpleasant task of mistreating them was just the cost of, to name a few perks, stable government jobs where before there had been only the university; free summer camps and activities for the kids; and deeply discounted trips abroad for provincial people who had never been outside Hesse, much less Germany. In Marburg, the ten little men all vigorously attested, “nobody” went hungry or cold or uncared for the whole time the Nazis were in power. (“Nobody they knew,” Mayer is quick to point out.) In their telling, even in the repentant schoolteacher’s telling, the Party was more civil-social organization than genocidal force — the Lions Club for antisemites.
