we are going to have to find an alternative to meta products for local communities and advertising, right now, it’s almost impossible to do any kind of local business or art project without it, but both their rules and support are so arbitrary and capricious that you can’t rely on them

During football an ad came on for Paxton, it featured his daughter and her kids. But then it showed them facetiming Paxton - they couldn't even be in the same room with him to pretend, I guess. Ringing endorsement.

A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$.

It’s wild how every (putatively independent) federal agency has focused their social media messaging around the GOP’s midterm strategy of “stopping communism.” Also, how many American voters do you think could identify this “loser” who died 102 years ago and never set foot in the US?

Manhattan Institute is bad and, furthermore, should be criminally investigated by NYS AG and Manhattan DA. Just give 'em a nice workdown, make sure they've been good boys and girls. Essentially what they advocate for the police to do to black people, we should do to the Manhattan Institute

More plausible that the reverse is true: Manhattan Institute’s more technical scholarship is what lends mainstream respectability to an unreconstructed racist like Christopher Rufo and gains him regular access to, say, the New York Times.

A while ago I got pushback from some other urbanists on here for arguing that the Manhattan Institute’s main function is to mainstream racism. But the idea that their work on fairly technical urban policy matters is as politically significant as what Rufo is doing just doesn’t pass the smell test.

American men by and large are just big children - women have been forced to pick up the slack and to a certain extent that can't really happen with things that require 2 parties like flirting/dating.

I feel like I could make a pretty good living giving classes to 28-35 year old men on "how to have a romantic relationship by being a normal human being." The bar is so low they have to intentionally dig to get under it.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

Similarly, people keep asking me if immigration will get much better if Democrats retake Congress and the answer is "probably not." ICE is largely insulated from Congressional pushback (the 2026 budget reconciliation bill funded them through 2029) and hearings and subpoenas can only do so much.

tbh i still can't wrap my head around even *this* supreme court allowing the trump regime to deport individuals to third countries where they lack cxn, can be subject to abuse, & lack any guarantee against non-refoulement. it is just so blatantly illegal & at scale such a crime against humanity.

that Salon article is bad but I don't think it's framed against AEW specifically. It's also written for a general audience and not for wrestling fans. I am like the most anti WWE guy but I don't think the Salon writer was going after AEW specifically.
