sometimes you don’t realize how bad the consultant slop democrats use is until AOC speaks like a normal human and actually empathizes with us
AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

They are extremely unpopular, unable to significantly expand their forces (they are already poaching local police for ICE and reassigning significant percentages of FBI/ATF toward enforcement), lacking in organizational resilience and one bum ticker/blood clot away from total movement collapse

The Epstein files aren’t just a partisan gotcha or the master key to defeating fascism. They represent a larger geopolitical indictment of ruling establishments and the illusion of choice. For @prismreports.org, I wrote about how this tells us to fight for more. prismreports.org/2026/01/07/a...

It is ALWAYS a mechanical turk, it is ALWAYS human beings being pressured to do more work for less wages. Every single goddamn time.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

the two people alive most likely to be the actual biblical Antichrist are the president and Mr Beast
In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

So many northeastern libs in elite circles are sooooo squishy and embarrassed by themselves, which was a strange thing to encounter after spending the first 25 years of my life in the South, where being left of center requires you to at least have the courage of your convictions
i was especially struck by these paragraphs, which rang very true to me. libs who grew up around conservatives aren't embarrassed to be liberals--or confused about what conservatives want. there's a certain kind of elite media man, on the other hand--

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."

Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!
