Why do you think a handful of companies are pouring so much money into AI? Is AI a bubble, or is it a rescission of the current social contract In advance of global warming making it impossible for the owners to hold up their obligations under said “contract“?

At this point I don't really think anyone is even bothering much with denying climate change, instead there's just this insidious loss of interest, and resignation, but the thing is as bad as it is and will get it could still get a LOT worse depending on what we do

The great thing about international law is that you can extradite your former president, who is otherwise domestically immune from prosecution, to face justice elsewhere. The good news is Trump indicted Castro on a similar basis. Chef’s kiss.

The U.S. military attacked a boat accused of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Tuesday, killing one man and leaving two survivors. This brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes to at least 208. n.pr/4ox6juX

Hint: all of the obstacles boil down to Iran's threats of force in response to Trump's war of choice. Businesses are not as cavalier about their employees lives as Trump is. www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-...

Trump has a plan to open the Strait of Hormuz. Here are the obstacles it faces.

“Too small for the risk”: The plan to have the U.S. government provide an insurance solution for ships trapped in the Persian Gulf may be impractical, analysts said.

if there is a "primary contradiction" in today's politics, it's a battle between those who want everyone to live the full life that they chose, versus those who want to control us in order to make sure we don't.

If you don't yet subscribe to and support Mother Jones, now would be a great time to step up and do so. They have been sourcing a lot of important and timely stories over the last several months. If you still have some money in the subscription budget, Wired is doing great work these days, too.

The judge allowed this seizure of ballot boxes and other 2020 election material in Fulton County, GA, based on dubious and long-discredited theories, writes @ariberman.bsky.social and @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So, does this mean Trump is asking to be subject to house arrest in Switzerland, i.e., there’s no going back to the U.S. for Trump?

Trump: “I had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, concerning Greenland. I agreed to a meeting of the various parties in Davos. As I expressed to everyone, very plainly, Greenland is imperative for National and World Security. There can be no going back”

Trump: “I had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, concerning Greenland. I agreed to a meeting of the various parties in Davos, Switzerland. As I expressed to everyone, very plainly, Greenland is imperative for National and World Security. There can be no going back — On that, everyone agrees! The United States of America is the most powerful Country anywhere on the Globe, by far. Much of the reason for this is a rebuilding of our Military during my First Term, which rebuilding continues at even more expedited pace. We are the only POWER that can ensure PEACE throughout the World — And it is done, quite simply, through STRENGTH! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”

She ain’t wrong, which is fucking sad as hell. Why can’t we elect a woman as president? What is wrong with us?

MICHELLE OBAMA, on whether a woman can get elected president: “.. sadly, we ain’t ready. That’s why I’m like: don’t even look at me about running ‘cause you all are lying. You’re not ready for a woman. We got a lot of growing up to do ..” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2025/11/15/p...

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov Who votes which way is theater. What matters is Schumer guided his caucus to reward Trump's bad behavior, and he will only be emboldened the next time. I will never give to Schiff or Padilla again, and I will support primary challengers.

Trump grabs Dems by the pussy. Dems: That's my pussy! Hands off! Trump: Let me have my way with you, or I will make it so tens of millions of my constituents starve and lose their healthcare. Dems: Take me! I'm yours! Pathetic.
