Human lives have value, and it’s urgent that we do everything that we can to preserve them
even if they don’t contribute to capitalism.
I would say: I can’t believe we’ve forgotten this basic concept, but I wonder if we, as a society, broadly understood– that is to say power – ever understood it.

It is extremely urgent that we tax these fascist techlords until they have to work for a living. Terminal-stage capitalism really sucks.
I would say this because I edited it but @mshannahmurphy.bsky.social's piece on tech bros founding their own for-profit cities really is unmissable reading www.ft.com/content/b127...
Tech elites are starting their own for-profit cities
They want to escape from regulation and ‘failing’ democracy — but are they more opportunistic than libertarian?

A deeply reported piece that puts "stop and frisk" in conversation with "Kavanaugh stops" would be welcome and is warranted.

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

i think the worst part is the murders tbh
The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

This is incredibly vile even for these pieces of shit. But it's also the natural endpoint of our violent arbitrary immigration system—the answer is not to go back to how it was before but to abolish immigration restrictions. Open it up all the way. Citizenship too.

Matthew Lillard is a national god damned treasure, not only as an enjoyable as fuck actor, but as a D&D ambassador and co-owner with his friends of Beadle & Grimm's (makers of the best D&D accessories on the market.) The only person who looks worse for Quentin shitting on him is fucking Quentin.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

I just found out HORSES is not findable by search on @itch.io, although you can totally buy it there (and even toss the dev some extra $). @gog.com and @humblebundle.com still show it in search and have it for sale without DRM. Probably easiest to go to horses.wtf and click the link you like.

Was the “defense official” who said this named Pete Hegseth?
No admiral saw two guys clinging to the wreckage of a boat as “legitimate targets.” And the claim he thought they were “continuing their drug run” is hilarious. They were swimming towards Florida towing a bale of drugs?
