Imagine how much more money companies could make if they stopped ruthlessly framing their adverts to shift as much product as possible to as many people as possible and just pandered to weirdo racists instead!

"The world economy hinges on the success or failure of artificial intelligence. It’s becoming apparent that we are probably doomed either way," writes politics and economics reporter Eduardo Porter.

Once the AI bubble pops, we’ll all suffer. Could that be better than letting it grow unabated?

The Trump administration has a plan to attack China’s shipbuilding dominance. There’s just one problem: It’s unlikely to work.

For the right, a white woman that sits atop a powerful agency ruthlessly deporting thousands is the “beautiful, delicate, tiny” victim.

People of color with opinions they don’t like, even elected officials, are the violent aggressors.

The "delicate, beautiful, tiny" fascism of Kristi Noem

The right thinks Noem is the victim of Sen. Padilla's assault. But what about Rep. McIver?

Move the World Cup back to Qatar again! Overall more inviting (120F temps and all) than US in the New ICE Age.

But better idea: Move all the games to already planned co-hosts Mexico and Canada. Less random fear for visitors from the rest of the world.

DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.

Supreme court blocks Trump bid to resume deportations under 1798 law

Administration’s appeal to quickly deport Venezuelans under Alien Enemies Act rejected with two dissenting The supreme court on Friday rejected the Trump administration’s appeal to quickly resume deportations of Venezuelans under an 18th-century wartime law. Over two dissenting votes, the justices acted on an emergency appeal from lawyers for Venezuelan men who have been accused of being gang members, a designation that the administration says makes them eligible for rapid removal from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

RIP Australian Test cricketer Bob Cowper. He died on 10.5.25 aged 84. He played 27 Tests scoring 2,061 runs at 46.84 with 5 tons including a top score of 307 against England in 1966. He was also a handy off-spinner who took 36 wickets at 31.63. #cricketcounts

The government’s abject surrender in the immigration conversation will not necessarily lose them votes. But it won’t win any either because a) for good
or for ill, the small boats are the really emotive issue & b) people who simply resent immigrants will always favour Farage. He’s one of their own.
