The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.
He's got to go.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

this is a very weak piece, for multiple reasons. its claim about Gen Z is based on a couple of comments, not actual sales. it is also extremely normal for kids not to be *that* into a series from two decades ago. And there's minimum mention of Rowling turning into a fervent bigot.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

Reminder that the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail editorial pages exhibit a human version of what AI calls "model collapse"—if you feed a language model its own output its output rapidly deteriorates into self-parody. The owners of the right-wing press read their own media and it rotted their brains.

Thinking about the Labour candidate Starmer pulled away from Farage's constituency because he was making headlines and becoming popular so it was making Keir look bad
I love Starmerism, it's like "Uh no this guy can't be an MP because people like him. Only people everyone hates can be in Labour." It is so cool and smart.
NEW: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group was 8-1 against him.

This is the problem, I think: the political class did not understand they were insanely lucky to have a straight up genius of the bullshitter’s art coinciding with peak neoliberal expansion, and they assume that can be recreated. Nope! You had your shot with this, and you chose to spend it on wars.
This is what happens when your idea of baseline politics is Tony Blair - a generationally remarkable bullshit artist who for a few years managed to sell exactly this stuff as bold, radical and visionary, a feat nobody can now repeat.

Literally one of the first things you learn about shotguns is that they are generally NOT DROP SAFE and this is pointing straight at the press in a very uncontrolled state.
Outside a Minneapolis hotel is a lone agent, swaying, baffled, with a bloody nose he may have given himself, fumbling with the pin of a smoke grenade, demanding to see the MPD (which weren't there), and trying to hold his gun between his knees.
Can't make this shit up.

I've done a bunch of CLEs about AI this weekend, but none of them touch on a concern I have: people looking for legal representation have been feeding information about their "claim" into LLMs and then having the LLMs spam it out to plaintiffs' firms; we get dozens every day. This is not privileged.
