I see all of the digger discourse and I haven't seen the movie yet, but given what I've seen from people, they would not survive a Brecht play

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

At a really fundamental level Leo XIV is just a person with sound, well-reasoned, moral stances on the world and how life should be lived who isn't afraid to say those things in public. That kind of person simply does not make sense to business leaders and politicians for whom speech is convenience.

I think a lot about how I read How I Learned to Drive in undergrad and how if you had undergrads read that play now how they'd react. I'd hope they would wrestle with it rather than just toss it

Lanterns is pretty awesome, and I really appreciate Damon Lindelhof doing what he does with comic book things. His take on Watchmen was probably one of the closest you'll ever get to what Alan Moore would have written as a sequel series

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

This makes perfect sense when you consider how much Trump loves little tchochzkes of himself from the NYC tabloids. Trump is easy to flatter, and he hates people who suck up to him transparently

I can't wait for Zohran Kwame Mamdani to show up in Donald Trump's will when he does because he likes him so much and his last public tweet will probably include calling Zohran a commie or something

Outside the obvious timebomb of selling out trans kids to appeal to ~16 bigots in deep Ohio, an underplayed part of the whole "trans kids in youth sports" stuff is making the most psycho Little League parents the most important political demo in America. They're joy vampires for the kids themselves!

i am genuinely bewildered by people who say that the rise of white nationalism in the republican party is a response to the "woke left." like, did the woke left cause pat buchanan's 1992 presidential campaign? is the woke left why steve king had a long career in congress?

Mamdani's channeling of Indian retail politics upending the entire US political framework is hilarious to watch, this is literally what you always do in desi politics, hug the person who called you names to show you're a saint and he's a piece of shit that voters should look down on- and it works

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

It’s not radical to believe you should be able to afford groceries, see a doctor, breathe clean air, and drink clean water. There’s nothing more American than fighting for a government of, by, and for the people.

If your party is busy enough to have an article written about who they want to run against them, it is in many ways an admission of weakness, because you're tacitly admitting your party's candidates are mediocre

I think one reason the public has such a shallow understanding of the extent of the damage Trump is doing is that *US political & media elites* have such a shallow understanding. Douthat's pleasant upper-middle-class life hasn't been unduly disturbed, so really, what's the big deal?
