If I'm correct it's because Democratic electeds and consultants want to win by default, that is reach a political equilibrium in which the GOP are seen as too extreme to govern, and a plurality of voters have no choice but to elect Democrats. This results in sliding right and taking the temperature.

As many have been saying for a while, sure seems like the “who could AI replace” question has the opposite answer to what the bosses expect
The numbers in here are hilarious.
Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%
Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

I think I became convinced that most of the United States is an anti-human hellscape when I worked in refugee resettlement. Seeing that Afghan family who went from rural Kandahar to the Red Roof Inn off the interstate. The look on their faces when I dropped them off. Dark fucking shit.
Listen, I was there when the first afghans evacuees got off the plane at Dulles in late July 2021. But a few months later we had nice liberals in the community asking us if they could host a Ukrainian family. "What about Afghan or Congolese?"
"Oh, no thanks"
Racist fucking country, man

Northwestern and Columbia being famous for journalism and bending over for Trump seems a little too on the nose these days
This is the second largest payout from a private university to the Trump admin yet, second only to Columbia’s $200m

We need to start getting prominent Democrats on the record, repeatedly, that they will be seeking indictments on this shit or *none* of it is going to ever matter.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

The Israeli Defense Forces are a terrorist organization. Extrajudicial killings and summary executions in broad daylight are war crimes. There's no tiptoeing around how evil this is.
Ceasefire my ass, the IDF are still slaughtering Palestinians for sport.

Far-right minister defends killing of two men in Jenin, saying ‘terrorists must die’
Video of an Israeli military raid in Jenin shows soldiers summarily executing two Palestinians they had detained seconds earlier.
The shooting on Thursday evening, which was also witnessed by journalists close to the scene, is under justice ministry review, but has already been defended by Israel’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who declared: “terrorists must die”. Continue reading...

It's not "blowback". It's revenge for betrayal and abandonment - a suicidally desperate act of retaliation against forces that he perceived as betraying him after he fought alongside them for years...

It's very much in keeping with their "bad things shouldn't happen" orientation: They're not gonna do anything, but they want you to know that unlike the Republicans, they feel bad about the results of their inaction

once you see it it becomes hard to avoid noticing that any time dems make a public comment about something terrible that's happened they never offer any plans to hold the people responsible accountable or to take any action to prevent it from happening again in the future

The Democratic politician commitment to boilerplate tragedy comms is not all that different from "thoughts and prayers." This is as much a time for "they were killed while enforcing Trump's dumb racist stunts" as any school shooting is for calling out the NRA.
Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

One wonders if the administration knows they're stacking up the incentives for anyone confronted by the feds to just open fire. I suspect some do, but they're the ones most looking forward to it.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off
