Journalist/author/academic. I don't follow back people without profiles. And if you're one of those people who pivots to insults and vulgarity, you'll get a block. Go to X. If you don't like my opinons, feel free to discuss civilly, or to block me.

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

Bernie Sanders: "The immediate issue of the moment is whether or not we continue to put tens of billions of dollars into the extremist Netanyahu government which has killed 75,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children ... "

FYI. I've been in data centers. The ONLY people that work those buildings are the security people. 1st class!! The techs come in, replaces servers that fail and leave. They work for the companies. They drive in, find the broken server pull it out of the rack, put a new one in. And drive away.

Trump is deep in a hypomanic spiral. 60 posts in two hours, mostly AI images, all soaked in malice, grievance, & paranoid revenge fantasy. He's trapped in Iran, haunted by Epstein, humiliated in court, & terrified of his own mortality. Declining alignant narcissists never go down quietly. Or alone.

I think it harms Journalism that the message that the media has sent to us over the last several years is that no matter what a person does it’s impossible to credibly be sure that they are a Nazi.

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.

zohran is a completely normal (mixed-market socialist/new-deal liberal/whatever) and it’s completely frying the brains of people with too much money or whose livelihoods are built on catering to the opinions of people with too much money

If only it had occurred to @kamalaharris.com to say that during her 107 day campaign. I kept tweeting suggestions about that to her campaign. But bro-in-law was determining virtually everything she said based on Silicon Valley/Wall St donation promises. And Harris herself was too witless to say it.

🔥 @jamestalarico.bsky.social : “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”

I'm not sure what will be more puzzling a hundred years from now, that people voted for Donald Trump 3 times or that they invested in Elon Musk businesses.

Everywhere I look, whether it's a warzone, refugee camp, or some comfortable Western city, it is women and girls who are taking the full blow from every conflict and criminal organization, whether it's being hunted for sport, mass raped, trafficked, disappeared, or dehumanized as property.

Princeton taught Hegseth to talk slick, the bottle taught him belligerence, his ChristoFascist pastor gave him a bastardized religiosity. Fox News gave him a lack of consequence & humility. Iran will teach him he is incompetent. U.S.A. should teach him he is not above the law.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
