They are really tapping the well dry on finding new ethnic groups to be prejudiced about.

My mental model of this is the railways boom. One of the defining technology booms but all the gains went to people using the railways and not the railway companies. AI has all the hall marks of being a commodity with low pricing power,

I think it’s very plausible that all the gains from AI end up in old industries getting more efficient and are not captured by the AI companies themselves. The classic fate of a technology that complements but does not replace human labour.

The only thing hotter than gold right now is measles.

I had to stop reading for a bit when I got here because I started to cry.
Alex Pretti seems to have grown up to be everything his parents could have hoped he would be. And then they killed him literally because he was good and decent, brave and righteous.

Look at that Starter jacket. So many kids Alex's and my age who grew up in Wisconsin have photos like that. This hits so hard.

Don't be George Meade. Don't let Lee's army escape back to Virginia after Gettysburg.
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

It's way more likely than not that the first shooting of an ICE agent in Minneapolis will be due to friendly fire.
The shooting itself was murder; you've seen the pictures. But it's also worth noting how inept the shooter was. He's physically uncoordinated, standing knock-kneed, then barely managing to pull his gun. He tried to steady himself by leaning on moving people, then shot towards his fellow agents. 4/

According to the Ron Paul School of Economics, this means that true inflation in the first year of Trump II has been over 200%.
I really can’t exaggerate how completely weird this move in silver is. Markets just don’t go parabolic for months at a time. Speaks to the fundamental cause of this move in silver: momentum and nobody with a balance sheet to take the other side of the move.

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

Following up on "what's Trump's strategy with these ICE invasions?" the below is more evidence that there isn't one. This is not why they went into Minnesota; it's not even related.
It's a last-minute attempt to save face. They know this is going horribly for them.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Holy crap.
This is the most damning video yet.
It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Every death in this saga has been horrible, but, as a fellow 37 year-old with "ties to Wisconsin," I've never felt sicker.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
