damn, this sounds like an amazing thing for a *checks notes* service economy
The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing.

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.
Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

The speed at which we have travelled from Pizzagate to this is… not actually surprising, since these people have never given a shit about sexual violence
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

Given how much the things can never be better contingent has spent to smear and attack Zohran Mamdani already, this is going to be a historic battle. But I think part of the reason why he is so popular is that he understands that reality and is dedicated to Doing Good Things nonetheless.
and it's a bummer and unfair that the police can just decide to refuse to follow the law, and that business associations etc will flood the zone with propaganda declaring any attempt at a better world a miserable failure
But you have to meet that shit head on and riposte. It can't be avoided.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Huge loss and a devastating year for media. Lex and the Teen Vogue team have been coming out with incredible political reporting and analysis, especially on trans issues. I especially enjoyed their recent interview with Gazan journalist Plestia Alaqad. www.teenvogue.com/story/plesti...

Anyone on here watched Lijepa večer, lijep dan/Beautiful evening, beautiful day yet? Saw it at Cambridge Film Festival last night and struggled to sleep afterwards. It felt gratuitous in some ways, which I was not prepared for, and it is always uncomfortable for me to reflect on SFRJ's many flaws.

Reading this made me realise that I can’t even remember when I started checking Setlist.fm. It’s one of those things that feels so obvious once it exists, but only works because of the anonymous labour of its users. An old internet story in the present!

Seems like the Graham Platner damage has been done: whatever happens next, there is now a prominent example of a Dem being linked to Nazi aesthetics that will be exploited by the right wing media ecosystem to bothsides and justify actual Nazi ideas, like the Young Republicans scandal last week.
