An attempted attack on a Hindu temple came amid a weeks-long right-wing frenzy over "The Indian Question"; police found a manifesto from the alleged shooter "containing statements expressing white supremacist and extremist ideologies."

J.P. Morgan calculated that, given the cost of building & maintaining infrastructure, AI needed to generate $600+ Billion annual revenue to be profitable for investors. Which is equivalent to selling a $35/mo subscription to every smartphone user on the planet. In other words, this is not enough.
Somehow when everyone was talking covers I forgot maybe my favorite cover of all, the one Beck sampled for "Jackass"--Them/Van Morrison singing "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue."
Scary Jerry@jerrybrennan.bsky.social · last wk.Lotta my favorites (Hurt, Wachtower, etc.) have already been mentioned so I'll say: Lana Del Ray's cover of Sublime's "Doin' Time" Moby's cover of Joy Division's "New Dawn Fades." (Yes, I'm **that** much of a Heat fan.) The Replacements' cover of Kiss's "Black Diamond."

Trump's DHS raiding and trying to strip the citizenship of Ilhan Omar just weeks before the election is fascism, pure and simple If his thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you too. I stand with @ilhanmn.bsky.social.
Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?
I know I'm a broken record on this, but one part of what is going on is that people have literally no idea what the US immigration system actually is; effectively, that there are no pathways into the country legally for someone who wants to wait in line.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 2d agoNew Marist poll of Texas finds 61% say undocumented immigrants should stay in US if meet certain requirements. Only 35% say they should leave. A majority of noncollege white men (Trump base) says stay. Supports my case (see piece/thread below) that Trump opened way for new pro-immigrant consensus

This sadist sure does fantasize a lot about killing people. Too bad we don’t have a constitutional mechanism to deal with an unfit WH occupant.

The war in Ukraine is the greatest fight for sovereignty and freedom in the 21st century so far. The tragedy of Trump changing sides and backing autocratic Russia instead of democratic Ukraine will go down in history as one of America's biggest foreign policy mistakes ever.

We've gotta learn to believe these authoritarians are who they say they are the first time they tell us. Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's home this morning. Her office says, "The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong." Here are some things I'm not seeing enough of in our online chatter. 🧵
