I think I paid $80 for a White Sox playoff ticket in 2021 to watch them get murdered by the Astros in Game 4. Cheapest ticket on GameTime today is ~$300, which checks out because everything in life is 275% more expensive than it was five year ago

New: We obtained witness videos and surveillance footage showing ICE parking their cars, arresting an observer, and transferring detainees in parking lots across 4 of Chicago's police districts. Local officials have tried banning ICE from city property. But incidents in the lots keep stacking up:

In plain sight: a year of ICE using Chicago police parking lots for its operations

Videos and witness testimony show immigration agents continue using Chicago police station parking lots despite a ban on their access to city property. Records obtained from the Civilian Office of Pol...

Ezra Klein dedicates his life to putting an intellectual sheen on Capitalism and all of the status quo that goes with it. It's funny that when he gets exactly what he wants, he acts indignant. Ezra Klein has done more to prevent liberals from opposing Capitalism than most any other media figure.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading. What do you think when you hear that? The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter? That’s my question for you. Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does. But there must be some set of skills that matter. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those. There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.

This will make it nearly impossible to file habeas petitions, because attorneys won’t even know what federal district their client has been moved to to stage for their removal. Something like a third of all people in ICE custody. apnews.com/article/ice-...

AP Exclusive: ICE hides locations of thousands of detainees with final removal orders

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

In order to deal with the constant onslaught of destabilizing news, I have adopted an attitude of "therapeutic accelerationism." Any time some event happens that will be included in a history textbook as a portent of the dark times, I crack a cold one, sit back and think "all according to plan."

Rest in peace Michael Parenti. In this current moment of history, I encourage everyone to please take a moment to read this thread. I think his book Blackshirts and Reds is more crucial than ever to read. Free eBook: archive.org/details/mich... Audiobook: m.youtube.com/watch?v=32E0...

@dril.bsky.social unironically, I think Elon is hiding your posts on Twitter. No matter how much I like your posts, they never appear in my feed anymore. I have to go to your page to see your tweets. I feel like it's been at least a year like this. Hope you're doing well!

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports
