I wrote about how the Hasan Piker drama serves as a proxy fight between centrists and the left, and how it exposes the real priorities of Democrats like Cory Booker.

Here’s a spicier take: If you’re on the left, you have to stay lying to voters the same way republicans do. They are cattle and believe anything you tell them.

Here's a spicier take. If you're on the left, an idea that it's gonna be really important to understand going forward is that, if you create a tighter labor market and higher wages for low-skill workers, it will cause prices of low-skill labor-intensive goods and services to rise (and that's ok)

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills. I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

My extremely hot take is that I actually don’t hate it when people get rich off stock options. My problem is that not everybody is given those options and they’re awarded to “consultants” and not the people on the ground floor actually implementing shit

Damn I didn’t know Jon Arbuckle had it like that

New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...

Twitter is an echo chamber and Bluesky is an echo chamber. My opinion is that that’s fine actually, you don’t need to entertain the bad ideas the other side has because they don’t engage in good faith

cait (and adonis)@cait.bsky.social · 7mo ago

anyone still on twitter that thinks bluesky is an "echo chamber" is fucking delusional. twitter has a racist AI built in to the site and like 80% of the replies on every post are bot accounts using slurs. please be serious

Frankly I’m kinda tired of talk like this because the Europeans and Chinese have largely just been shutting up and taking it. Until somebody hits us back we’ll never stop, so somebody desperately needs to hit us back. Sooner rather than later.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

for the youths who werent around for the iraq installment - dont believe anything the govt says about progress - no the democrats dont have to say getting rid of the baddie was good and therefore they have to support the war - the war needs to be ended - the media is not your ally and they love war

I am very much enjoying KBJ’s “you came up with this stupid fucking test and now you all are going to have to live with it” routine.

SG says the CSA is a fair judgment about dangerousness KBJ: "I guess my problem is that it might be a fair judgment but, conceptually, that is precisely what the Bruen test prohibits. That we don't credit the judgments of the modern legislature about who is dangerous and who needs to be disarmed.."

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying “if you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

Twitter/X is currently down.

"AI detectors" are themselves AI, and yet are endlessly trusted by people on here if they say that a newspaper article is AI. AI detectors are snake oil. None of them reliably works. And UK broadsheet are not yet using AI to write articles. No, that link to the deal you found doesn't prove it.
