“My guy wants to put a data center in your backyard either to give himself gender-affirming care and make a muscle video, or to portray me as a…hero?" Abdul El-Sayed reacts to Republican Mike Rogers' AI ad showing him, Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie as communists inside a Trojan Horse:

40+ billionaires with documented Epstein ties spent $1.57 billion on federal elections. $1.3 billion (84%) to Republicans. $105 million (7%) to Democrats. Just 0.09% of their $1.7 trillion combined wealth. Pocket change for them. Corruption for us.

Like the assurances that roe v wade was settled law? Like assurances that Trump would release his taxes? Like assurances that ICE agents are only going after violent criminals? Like assurances that a SCOTUS nom would be blocked in an election year? Like assurances that Project 2025 wasn’t a thing?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayCornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃
As my mother in law gets older, she becomes more and more obsessive about small issues. As age robs her of ability to control her life in big ways (she can't drive, she can barely walk, she can't engage in hobbies she previously could), she needs something she CAN control.

We're near the ten-year anniversary of this interview, which was viewed as wildly controversial at the time. It led to hit pieces on me from liberal outlets like The New Republic as well as death threats. Now it's seen as conventional wisdom -- but it always was!
happy bday poet Hayden Carruth, b.1921, Waterbury, CT. “For your love given ask no return, none. To love you must love to love.” “Beauty was worth Its every sorrow, mind's fading or World's ending, As darkness covered the garden that is the earth.”
Neoclassical econ assumes rationality. The corollary of, "If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?" is "you're rich, so you must be very smart!" Thus, people assume that if powerful, well-compensated CEOs insist that "AI is changing everything," well then, *AI must be changing everything*. 1/
