I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

My god, an ethical American Christian? *rubs eyes*
Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

I cannot overemphasize enough how important it is every district in the US have someone running on the Democratic line this November. And ideally that it be someone not trash. This is a super important time to be aware of your local primaries. This is actual "Fuck it! Run yourself!" hours
Dems flipped a TX State Senate seat last night which has been held by Republicans for the last 48 years. Trump beat Harris here by 17% -- 58% to 41%. But vet & machinist Taylor Rehmet reversed that, winning 57%-43%.
Reps had pumped $2.5m in compared to Dems $.5m to try to save the seat.

Violence, cynicism and cruelty dominate prestige TV. Heated Rivalry became a global obsession by doing the opposite.

Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.

I thought about this a lot when we were all pushing to get kilmar abrego garcia released. I'm glad we got him back but literally NO ONE should be sent to CECOT. They should have ALL been brought back.
Never accept an inch. Never accept their framing. Bring everyone back and abolish DHS.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
