Number go up! I suspect number continue to go up until someone proves that AI is actually brilliant and financially viable or at the very least neither a flaming bag of shit nor Enron x1,000. Curiously, no-one seems to have created that substack yet...
Didn't even see but Where's Your Ed At hit 85k subs, folks we're going places, probably gonna get 87.5k to 90k by EoY and reasonably 100k by end of Q1 2026. All it took was hundreds of thousands of words

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

Further proof that "tough on crime" is never actually about safety.
It is about violent social control. If that makes crime go down, that's a plus. But if it makes crime worse, that's never a reason to stop--and in fact that rise in crime is (somehow credibly) used to justify more toughness.

This is striking, and evidence of something I've been saying speculatively for a while - I think there's actually every reason to think that federal operations in Chicago could *strengthen* hispanic organised crime groups like the Latin Kings, not weaken them

Katie Lam and her ilk need to be asked *how* they would go about sending the people who shouldn't have been allowed in "home". There are lots of people who are here legally who would be expelled by her. The majority will not volunteer to leave their families, friends, jobs, and assets behind.
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

A grande emoção da sexta-feira no futebol veio do Campeonato Argentino em Newell's Old Boys 1 x 1 Tigre. O gol dos visitantes foi marcado por Nacho Russo, filho do nesta semana falecido treinador Miguel Ángel. A emoção tomou conta dele e de todo mundo. Uma imagem arrepiante.

The letter that Pete Hegseth's mom wrote to him in 2018 is incontestably damning. Moms often have such selectively rosy sentiments toward their sons that we have cliches about it. But Pete was such a monumental shithead to women that his mom could not stay silent. Incredible stuff.

Finally reading the full Gold Card EO and wow is it wild. The order says that any person who pays $1 million is, by definition, a person of "exceptional business ability" and therefore qualified for an EB-2 visa.
Does anything better sum up the Trump ethos than "all rich people are exceptional."?
