I know people want to frame everything through the most villainous and monstrous political entity of the 20th century, but the second Trump regime and the Republican Party architecture that supports it are best understood as a neo-Confederate project.

They are running the government according to the logic of right-wing grievance media. I cannot emphasize that enough. The point is to create content, and they don't see an actual difference between dunking on Sabrina Carpenter, passing legislation, and bombing other countries.
I don't really know what the administration hopes to gain by picking fights with the most well-liked pop artists in the United States. You're just generating backlash for no discernible reason outside of owning the libs.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

More people should've realized what Curtis James Jackson III is capable of; when Colbert says "you do not want to fuck with you" he really means it. It isn't just entirely believable, it's not even that big a surprise, for 50 Cent to get footage of Diddy's last days

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

you know actually my real question is... how. $77B? and you couldn't, like, set aside $1B of that to bribe people onto your platform? what were you doing, shoving coke in all the server ports or something?

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
There’s no such thing as a “free market.”
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

Kind of the ultimate recoding of all signs. Each bet is an explosion of meaning-making. An oil leak is already immediately transformed from a disaster for ecosystems and lives into a market impact for everyone holding the corporation's stock, but this is an upgrade to the granularity.

Yup. You already know what I'm going to say: Slice by race.
1) In the US, ~1 in 4 people aged 28 to 29, are Hispanic. For people that were 17 at the beginning of the year, but are 18 now, it's closer to 27%.
2) Hispanic people have had the largest drop in their approval of Trump. You all know why.

A lot of people ask why deepfake sexual abuse is legal—in theory, it’s not. But why perpetrators aren’t often held to account follows the exact same patterns of inaction regarding all forms of sexual abuse

in more exciting (derogatory) news, i inherited a nearly worthless car, am literally in the process of donating it to the Kidney Car people, and they showed up today to pick it up only to find it had already been towed (by the Bylaws people). So now i have to pay $400CAD to retrieve it to donate it.
I have a check coming this week, and more later in the month (work is starting to come in finally!), but could really use about USD $600 to get us caught up on first-of-the-month bills and rent if anyone can help. Cashapp is $AdrienneLeigh, Wise is adrienneleight, or PayPal is below:
Pay Utilitarienne using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/utilitarienne and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Selling Out Santa is about how Hollywood manipulated the Christmas holiday for socially conservative ends in the post-war, early Cold War period. The films from that period are now considered classics and form the basis for many Americans's nostalgia for Christmas media.
My new & first book, Selling Out Santa, is Open Access!
If you like what you read and can, please consider buying a copy for you and maybe one for a history/film lover at Christmas (it's 40% off)!
It'll likely be my only income in over 2 years once royalties pay next July, so please consider it!

Just thinking aloud but what if we tried to make society better at the same time that we tried to improve our mental health. I know it sounds crazy but it just might work. True there won't be any billionaires anymore but hear me out on that too, I say we can live with the loss.

Seeing folks help backstop organizing workers this way is a big one for the “I do not regret to tell you that we are going to win” files.

Since this post, nearly 300 of you donated about $11k and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The union shared photos with me today of food being distributed. Remaining money will be evenly distributed among the 160 union members in the form of gift cards. Thank you. ❤️

the unfortunate thing about professional athletes is that they have spent their lives trying to wring every tiny little edge out of their bodies and this makes them extremely susceptible to medical quackery, which is currently having a renaissance

A few important points here
- Generative AI supercharged data centre growth: lobbyist and substacker lines pretending like this is just streaming are false
- Even when you consider much of the projected growth is speculative, the *likely* projects are still MASSIVE
