No bailouts. The US should extort these companies when the crash happens so they get minimal compensation in return for nationalizing the entire panopticon industry and then destroying it once harvested for socially useful parts. It won’t happen but it should
when its definitely not a hostage situation

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

does anyone have any recommendations for a good book on russian history? i've been struggling to find one that is neither blindly uncritical of the soviet union nor like complete red scare nonsense

i posted some more thoughts to the wrong thread so i deleted them but i think the 3rd act of del toro's frankenstein kinda fucked it all up
November 23, 2025 at 6:56 AM
it has now reconverged to a point where i think comparison to the original becomes necessary and i think that is to its detriment
ok i'm about halfway through now and it's diverged enough where i can now look at this as a frankenstein inspired story and not an actual adaptation which i think will help me enjoy it more

the creatures story section was really good. i was really locked in for that. i don't think he's ugly enough tho
November 23, 2025 at 6:22 AM
watching the del toro frankenstein and it's good i'm feeling a bit nitpicky about some of the changes he made but they're all justified and largely a matter of taste i think

my meta conspiracy theory is that JFK assassination theories have been astroturfed for the last 50 years to distract from the actual conspiracy around MLK's assasination
We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

started watching oppenheimer tonight and wa struck by how well the timing has lined up since i'm also reading frankenstein. there are some really compelling parallels here.

i don't hold it against them because i know practically that we are nowhere near this point in society but i can't wait until progressive politicians no longer have to post Thoughts And Prayers every time a cop in their jurisdiction gets shot

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny
