But if AI replaces the workforce, who is going to purchase what the firms produce? I don't get it.
The markets are staying afloat right now on the hope that AI will destroy American workers. What a bleak thing.

I find it absolutely infuriating when broadcast correspondents apologise to their viewers/listeners for doing ‘a nerdy bit’.

As part of our investigation into the Rope Culture web server, we created a search interface for Nazi forum scrapes and leaked databases called FashyLeaks. Currently it includes the Iron March and Rope Culture datasets, with many more to come.
We found the exposed web server of Rope Culture, a neo-Nazi online magazine from the same Nazis behind the notorious Iron March forum. It contains hundreds of email addresses of the site’s commenters, emails sent to & from their mail server & the IP address of every visit to the site.

This is a bold but absolutely feasible solution, which would immediately bring Pu to the negotiation table in earnest, ready to make real concessions rather than aiming to swindle and take away Ukrainian sovereignty diplomatically. Europe needs to step up before it's too late.
Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has called for Europe to deploy up to 20,000 troops behind Ukraine’s front lines, establish an air shield with around 150 combat aircraft and unlock frozen Russian assets.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

It lays bare how much the ebb and flow of political extremism is driven by social ecology, not individual psychology.
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.

They said, in this day and age, you could get a random word garbage generator elected president of the United States. And they were right.
Trump: "They saw a lot of unbelievable activity at the McDonald's next to the base where they take off. The McDonald's was doing -- right? -- 5 times, they were going crazy. So they say 'there's something going on over there.' The biggest activity that McDonald's had ever had. It was a nice story."

I'm giving myself a Godwin pass, here, because who else do we know got off on stealing valuables from persecuted minorities? Wtaf.
If this policy really was enacted, I would hope to see civil disobedience and non-compliance with the state across civic society in an attempt to disrupt and block it. Countries have the right to enforce borders, not steal people's stuff for performative cruelty.

Indeed... that was the main takeaway of teaching "Far-Right Politics" in Fall 2025.
Not that the students are more supportive of the far right than previously - they are not! - but for them the far right is "normal". It is the "conservative" party that their dad supports.
