really think a big part of a 2027-9 democratic congress should be using the powers of the legislature for gathering evidence explicitly with a mind to state prosecutions of federally pardoned members of the trump administration

It's kind of crazy that the Natalie Harp news cycle raised some extremely valid questions about the extent of her influence on our octogenarian narcoleptic, none were answered and the press just stopped wondering.

We believe superintelligence will create significant new opportunities for all people and businesses. Meta already serves billions of people at scale and helps hundreds of millions of businesses reach customers. Today we are starting the next major pillar of our business, Meta Enterprise Platform, to help businesses use Al to grow and transform in new ways as well.

I just watched the Ken Burns doc on Jefferson. There’s plenty of rank hypocrisy to call the founders out on (particularly Jefferson), but it was striking how they actually held a vision of the country being something noble instead of the subhuman-run kleptocracy we’re stuck with now

As has been repeatedly shown, raising the minimum wage improves everything, it's more money in customers pockets, prices go up a little, but not nearly as much as wages. Money sitting in rich people's accounts does very little good.

Yes the fact that we, as a society, obviously posess all the wealth necessary to not only fix the chronic problems but also have everyone live a life of comfort and plenty, and only don't do that so like, car dealership owners can buy a 60 foot boat instead of a 40 foot boat — bad for the vibes!

Like the great recession was very long and painful - much longer than anyone thought it would be in fact - but like 6 years later we were mostly out of. We're now on like year 15 of e.g. "it's impossible to afford family-sized housing in SF, LA, NYC, Boston, etc" and it gets worse every year

Maybe the reason the economic vibes are so off isn't that things are *worse* than the great recession but because back then we all thought the pain was temporary, whereas the things that are wrong with the economy today have all been getting worse for a long time and show no signs of improving

People are disappearing incredibly quickly. And part of the invisibility is that just when we need even more capacity for rapid response and patrols, public interest has turned away because people don't think it's a problem anymore. We're tired.
