Friendly reminder that bill kristol is also a war criminal who deserves everything hegseth does
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Jeffries says not to expect Democrats to pursue Hegseth impeachment over boat strikes
"Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor," he said.

does this kind of rhetoric come as a surprise to the Serious People on here who were touting the bipartisan border bill last year or is it just harder to turn a blind eye to now

If that is indeed the case then Bradley should testify to it because it is the truth and to provide a record for later on … but no, he should get no credit or leniency for it.
Sorry not sorry, wearing stars comes with big boy responsibility.

If Hegseth gave the order (of course he did) all Bradley has to do is testify to that effect to significantly reduce his own sentence when the time comes.
Bradley going to learn how far being an apolitical military professional gets you (not very)

For this situation specifically, Bradley was the only one in the entire chain who could have refused at essentially zero risk to himself. So no, he shouldn’t get credit for saying “but Pete told me to” when it all comes out.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

the last Lizza post ended on a cliffhanger where Lizza teased a recording of Trump talking about the assassination attempt that would potentially "shatter our understanding of recent history." in the latest drop he reveals that he doesn't know what the recording was and also it has been destroyed.

Prosecuting powerful people to protect the powerless is the opposite of what cops do and thinking this is some kind of "gotcha" betrays the fact that you did not even bother to understand the meaning of "Kamala is a cop" before you started insisting it was wrong

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Today On Tap from me: Marco Rubio is selling a war of choice in Venezuela on falsehoods about narco-trafficking so he can get right-wing south Florida exiles who've been his political allies back into power. It's an incredibly parochial pretext for an imperial adventure.

New: Hillary Clinton will be speaking at an event hosted by Israel Hayom (Israel's most read newspaper, run by Israeli-American billionaire & Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson).
She'll join John Fetterman, Eric Adams, Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, Biden official Amos Hochstein, and Israeli officials

The thing about immigration is that xenophobia and racism are the elite centrist position. Here's a senior fellow at Brookings, spouse of CRFP head Maya MacGuineas, explaining the mere presence of foreigners in Germany is a "problem" that someone must solve with "speed and determination."

As many have been saying for a while, sure seems like the “who could AI replace” question has the opposite answer to what the bosses expect
The numbers in here are hilarious.
Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%
Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

CK's schtick at his height was "I share your decency, audience, but I will admit things to you that you can't admit to yourself." His schtick now is "I share your depravity, audience, and I will tell you things that flatter you."

Yeah. Before the fall, CK's act—and his fandom—rested on the premise that his worst self wasn't his true self. Now it's the opposite, and that's just not interesting as comedy.
He is just generally an alt-right, unrepentantly racist and transphobic piece of shit. He is also a genuinely bad comedian, much in the way that thin-skinned assholes often are 🤷♀️

Same in academic publishing. My employer is investing in new AI tools to—wait for it—catch AI usage by authors and reviewers!
Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

The people who saw it in theaters were self-selected to be predisposed towards liking it! It’s not a mystery why Letterboxd/RT audience scores almost always go down once a wider audience starts seeing a film.
Oh my god. She's 1000% right. This makes so much sense.
