"so if a malicious government wanted to take down your encrypted resistance chat they just need to take down AWS"

well yes, but that'd be like using a nuclear warhead to clear out termites from a residence

At the very least it's a rebuttal to the folks both within and outside the party that insist opposition to Trump and his cabal's various misdeeds is some fringe leftist position. Now it's up to the folks who can use this knowledge to seize the reins and start steering.

Imagine writing this AUKUS puff piece saying “Rolls-Royce dismisses critics” of its UK nuclear reactor program and … forgetting … to mention the UK audit authority’s finding that “successful delivery of the project appears to be unachievable.” www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

Rolls-Royce has expanded its workforce to build the nuclear power systems for the vessels – and is searching for more trainees, including Australians.

And the media won't describe it as such because reasons, meaning if you didn't actually see it online or participate in the discourse you won't know what he actually did other than "post a video of him flying a jet with a crown"

Just How Bad Would an AI Bubble Be?

The entire U.S. economy is being propped up by the promise of productivity gains that seem very far from materializing.

People whose sole critique is this are usually incapable of actually parsing a source, and will likely just type "<source name> debunk substack" or something similar in their search bar so they have talking points to regurgitate

We should talk more about how getting through this is going to involve rebuilding most of our information institutions completely from the ground up (at the very least news media/journalism, universities, and the entire technology sector; libraries seem fine). Whole scale capture by disinformation.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.

Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country

On issues like abortion and gender-affirming care, women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average.

If nothing else, it feels like the general conversation on the left (as in, everyone left of center) is significantly less doomy and apathetic and that's something worth appreciating in itself

Note that Vance is also a giant coward, so he puts this on bluesky to do some juvenile trolling that is also a betrayal of his oath but doesn't dare put it on Twitter, where it might make some of his supporters do the 'are we the baddies' routine.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.

And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

A US president, furious about protests essentially clarifying everyone thinks he sucks and responding to it with AI videos of him in a crown flying a fighter jet dumping shit onto American citizens & Nancy Pelosi kneeling to him as a king? Fuck dog, not even satirical Cyberpunk scifi predicted this
