Very reassuring to say something like this. Its not like you only say this, if you believe an AI Bubble is a possibility.

Dubious Achievement of 2025:

I have crossed 700 films watched this year! Landmark! Hooray me!

Please celebrate me...I have a pathological obsession & the capacity to sit on my ass endlessly!

Altman, Rohmer, Kramer, Cukor, Lynch & Spielberg...so not too embarrassing.

Es ist wirklich schwer erträglich, wie hochnäsig einige (sehr wahrscheinlich) extrem gut verdienende Journalist*innen dieser Tage über die sozialen Sicherungssysteme referieren.

Bei der Brandmauer geht es darum, dass demokratische Parteien nicht mit Faschisten gegen andere Demokraten Mehrheiten bilden.

Einige versuchen den Kern zu vernebeln (man muss ja reden dürfen… Respekt vor Mandaten, etc.) weil sie offensichtlich genau das hinbekommen wollen.

Ich habe heute meinen Account auf X gelöscht. Ein harter, aber letztendlich unvermeidlicher Schnitt. Der Wahnsinn dort hat zusehends mein Nervenkostüm zerstört. So viel Hass, Boshaftigkeit, Unwahrheit, Propaganda und Dauererregung sind einfach nicht auszuhalten ohne seelischen Schaden zu nehmen.

Hier sind vier Seiten aus „Männer, die die Welt verbrennen“ über die „#Familienunternehmer“

Das ist kein „Wirtschaftsverband“ (er fordert wirtschaftlich Unsinniges wie sehr teure Formen der Stromversorgung), sondern ein sehr ideologisch agierender Milliardärslobbyverband.

There are no “moderates” left in a position to recapture the Republican Party. All the energy on the Right is with the more extreme, most conspiratorial factions.

The radicalizing dynamic that has shaped the Right still applies. We are now witnessing the next step on that trajectory.

While the outcome remains unclear, there is no question that the struggle for post-Trump supremacy among the different MAGA factions has begun in earnest. For the first time, political leaders on the Right are acting as if they expect Trump’s reign to end soon.

Sunday evening reading: I wrote about the state of the fever swamp.

What becomes of MAGA as Trump’s hold over the movement is weakening, his ability to integrate its different factions is waning?

I’m so old, I remember 2017 when mainstream news outlets like ABC would express surprise that Trump was linking himself to Pizzagate promoters like Posobiec. Now, I guess, he’s just “a winner.” abcnews.go.com/US/trump-ret...

One last thing I’d add is that Posobiec asked his question not from a position of strength, but because he was absolutely seething about how his commie crushing Emperor God Trump was engaging in a love fest with a guy Jack would deport (or worse) tomorrow if he could. bsky.app/profile/larr...
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

Anyway, I’m sure the President’s antisemitism task force will be looking into how a Denis Fahey admirer like Posobiec has managed to rise to such a position of influence in Trump’s movement.

Posobiec is that very normal sort of "conservative" who happens to have a great admiration for a fairly obscure figure from the 1930s named Denis Fahey who is only remembered in, shall we say, one particular niche subculture. bsky.app/profile/seth...
Jack Posobiec is a very influential MAGA media figure. He posted this today. In the 1930s Fr. Denis Fahey was probably most well know for being one of the most outspoken anti-semites in the world...quite an accomplishment for that era.

Wo gräbt WELT nur immer diese Leute aus: Ein Peter Hoeres, Professor für Neueste Geschichte an der Uni Würzburg, schreibt irres Zeug über den scheidenden Chef der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, Thomas Krüger. Den Nachfolger Sönke Rix (SPD) hält er auch für einen "linken Chefideologen".

Heute in #BerlinDirekt zu #Palantir. Das Gerede von "Digitaler Souveränität" ist offensichtlich genau das: Gerede.

Was ich nicht wusste: Dass Dennis-Kenji Kipker CDU-Politiker ist.

Palantir kann riesige Datenmengen in Windeseile auswerten. Der Nachteil: zu viel US-Einfluss und mangelnder Datenschutz.
