we talk a lot about the weirdo techbro obsession with immortality these AI necromancy projects embody, but I'm arguably even MORE fascinated by the terror of allowing yourself to experience deep, complex emotions they so obviously reveal
you cannot prevent yourself from feeling grief with an app??

Now we see the filthy rich Mark Cuban appear. He stands to lose profit from his drug business and investments so he's pulling out all the Republican propaganda.

Yeah, taxes go up, but your insurance payments go down, and everyone is covered.

As with any billionaire, Cuban is just clueless about how most people live. We ALREADY have to see a primary doctor before seeing a specialist. Insurance doesn't pay for it otherwise. We ALREADY have expensive services that only treat the rich.
You're looking in the mirror and complaining.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

this was a really powerful approach to questioning noem—bringing the actual people impacted by her reign of terror. from her perch it's easy to see these cases as abstractions but she needs to be confronted with them at every turn.
MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?
NOEM: We haven't deported veterans
MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

A bit inconvenient for potential alien life forms if they’re constantly being incinerated by their own suns
For the first time, astronomers have detected a coronal mass ejection from a star other than our Sun, and it was a big one – powerful enough to strip the atmosphere from nearby planets. That's bad news for the search for extraterrestrial life. Here's why: physicsworld.com/a/astronomer... 🧪⚛️🔭

This is exactly analogous to thee centre-right "don't mention climate" idea that has taken hold in climate comms since 2022.
As @doctorvive.bsky.social pointed out: the right constantly talks about climate change. They're now setting the entire frame and agenda.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

There are some lil guys looking for homes! These faux stone figures were hand sculpted, cast in urethane and then finished to have the look and feel of mossy stone. Each is unique! Which fella are you gonna get?
