Mitch McConnell working remotely, refusing to give status updates on his work, constantly promising to return to the office next week, and occasionally texting his bosses a pic to prove he’s still alive is the most Gen Z thing any member of Congress has ever done and it’s not even close

There's a persuasive argument that based on conventional liberal principles (central planning, market distortions, coercion, interference in hiring, trade, manufacturing, mergers & acquisitions, etc.) this is the least market-friendly administration since FDR. Possibly ever.

The Trump administration is so opposed to socialism that it has acquired — sometimes by coercion — equity stakes in 30 companies so far. www.cato.org/blog/governm...

Being a parent is pretty tough, but it's all worth it for that moment, every once in a while, when you get to take your kid to the city to see a marching band and say, "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?"

“We should return to an older and more accurate name for the Civil War: the Slaveholders’ Rebellion. If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy

To face our own history, we must be honest about it.

Seriously considering dropping a slide from “13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim” into my Keynote presentation for work on Monday. I swear this is actually on-topic.

Character selection screen from 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim shows the character Yuki Takamiya selected, with a summary of the events of her previous chapter, and a UI explaining that continuing her story is locked behind the condition “Complete Natsuno Minami’s A Closed World event”.

I’m not sure whether this is just a psychological difference or AI bros fundamentally don’t understand the nature of an artistic experience, but: I don’t want a personalised film/book/podcast. I want to see/read/hear the same one as everyone else, so I can read reviews or discuss it with my friends

So, since I live in Michigan, I basically can't watch TV, YouTube, or any other media with advertising until November. Got it. Worst people, worst timeline.

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social · 7d ago

NYT: Elon Musk has authorized his super PAC to spend $100–120 million on a new ground operation across 8 states to help elect Republicans in November. The group will initially focus on Senate races in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Michigan and Ohio, with discussions underway about expanding to NC, GA & TX

As I've said before: What high-paying long-term jobs do they pretend exist here? A data center isn't a place where execs come and do Big Deals. Go to the server room at your workplace; are there lots of rich people in there spending money?

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
