Even if you think, incorrectly, that this repulsive technology has any place in mainstream culture, maybe it gives you pause that the worst people in the world are hell bent on making you use it.
BREAKING: Trump says he will sign an executive order this week that will limit states’ ability to regulate AI.

So, to all the "RFK's got some good ideas" folks (Rachael Bedard, Leana Wen) and Jay Bhattacharya is "an excellent choice for NIH" (Steven Macedo, Frances Lee) and Vinay Prasad "will bring a breath of fresh air to FDA" (Adam Cifu, John Mandrola) groupies--you own this now too.
I think the *speed* at which RFK Jr and his Great Barrington Declaration/anti-vaxx/Brownstone wrecking crew have been dismantling the US public health system has been really astonishing
Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.
Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.

This kind of thing, where a public commentator praises an openly fascist document for how “easy it is to read” for “normal people,” in a well-you-gotta-hand-it-to-them sort of way, helps illustrate the dangers that arise when anti-intellectualism becomes a universal principle
I’m also gonna say something that will be controversial here: This is actually a very accessible and easy to read document. Is it good prose? No, but it also doesn’t do jargon. It might be written by AI, as some have suggested, but for a normal person, this is much clearer than past strategies.

i’m sure his legacy benefits from having died long before social media but it would sting so much to have people say, “frank sinatra is aware of you, he knows of you, and he doesn’t like you”

The trajectory of UK politics after the Labour Party’s landslide victory in 2024 is obviously not a clean analog to what might have happened had Harris squeaked by Trump, but it’s certainly evocative. Recall that Senate Dems celebrated Trump’s inauguration by passing the Laken Riley Act.

theres a 1:1 overlap with the bigots who concern troll about correlations between autism and trans/nb/queer gender expressions
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...
ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:
"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

joe biden read this fascist’s (and yes i think it’s safe to call matt a fascist) blogs every morning
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

A fun fact about the Candyman movies is that the first two had a renowned Bee Guy doing Bee Wrangling for the films but with the third movie Candyman Day of the Dead being low budget they assumed they couldn’t afford the renowned Bee Man but he was like “no…this is about the bees” and came back

bad sign from a lawless court
BREAKING: The Supreme Court agrees to take up a challenge to President Trump's January 20 birthright citizenship executive order.
The court will hear DOJ's appeal of a loss below in a class-action challenge brought in the wake of June's decision limiting universal injunctions.

Are we surprised then that Democrats are just shamefully silent about Somali-Americans as the right promises to send them to pogroms? Democrats were, after all, the ones who prosecuted all sort of people for allegedly conspiring with Al-Shabaab while ignoring white supremacists?

the heritage foundation was shaping immigration policies and getting its model legislation passed when trump was still a registered democrat!
It’s not burrowing, it’s formal announcement that the US national interest - the principal purpose of the United States as a country - is MAGA. It’s the overnight formalized removal of the decades long interest we’ve known since the end of WWII.

Burrowing white nationalist ideologies into offical government policy. This all needs to be removed root and branch with no typical tepidity.
The White House's National Security Strategy includes some smatterings of Great Replacement rhetoric, naturally.
