These villains have done such a number on the country’s moral fabric that the last two *Popes* come off like liberal firebrands—I’d love to see a broader reclaiming of Christianity and rejection of… all this

I think it will test whether we actually have police officers courageous enough and independent-minded enough to buck their own fascist ranks and run as anti-ICE sheriffs.

I think we’ll find the answer to that is a pretty sad one.

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

Still think this is the wrong question—if they’re committed to overturning fair elections, why bother intimidating voters individually at polling places?

Instead, they can send goons to election offices *afterwards* to confiscate all the ballots on any sham pretext… like they already tried in 2021

Hiring the dregs of Liberty Law School for the DOJ is the legal equivalent of drafting 13-year-olds into the infantry

Most likely all being done illegally, like much of the rest of the government operates now

Concepts of a plan, love to see it

strategery is back, baby

Winnie the Pooh meme: smug and fancy when he dresses in a tuxedo

Er, is this just enshittification but with like a top hat and monocle

I am super bummed that someone is picking on me because I am not happy when the press minimizes public corruption.

I am just an average reader, I don't have thousands of followers and am not prepared to defend against pile-on attacks from large accounts with quote-posts designed to inflame.

I am super bummed to say I had to delete my second reply here.

I am just an average reader, I don't have tens of thousands of followers and am not prepared to defend against pile-on attacks from large accounts with quote-tweets designed to inflame.

oof, you're retweeting this? I guess will block.

Bummed to see this kind of response to a sincere engagement.

I currently follow/have followed the 3 voices in this thread, so it pains me to explain what’s frustrating:

What’s the value of this statement?

We now have a corrupt political system that is “picking winners” and installing monopolies.

Isn’t it better to just observe that, without a “But also”?

The “but also” isn’t providing any answers and it’s undercutting the important observation.

Corrupt Monopoly era

Going further, putting my chips on their friends *decided* they want OpenAI to “win bigly” and get monopoly position

also not be surprised if this was very clear to Anthropic, who’ll now publicly posture in desperate hedge to keep a 2nd place market position

And yes, this is a Kremlinology, wygd

Perhaps: Squeezing Americans into spending their private wealth (as well as the country’s public funds) with a handful of pre-selected stooge monopolies—

Kickbacks to said political class, who act as fixers to provide market protection and ensure said monopolies—“racket theory”, they call it

Looking forward to your aggressive action

This isn’t *exactly* the same vibe, but it’s in the dog park

Vaccines are basically the same as “getting” measles and chickenpox, you’re just shielded from bad outcomes…

Maybe we start using silly military terms? A “live fire exercise for your body” where your immune system goes through a “simulated tactical engagement” to better “neutralize the enemy”…

People keep saying these guys are basically illiterate, and it keeps being true

So: world’s dumbest producer?

He's a cyborg, you idiot! YouTube video by passenger47X

They didn’t listen to Dick Jones

Why are you bringing in the “torture memo” guy for an opinion, let alone suggesting we should care about it?

This is what turns you into an accelerationist—

You figure, surely NOW anyone can see the generational harms to our economy, world standing, moral fabric, etc

Then you see 40% of the country (and 30% of independents!) think it’s going fine…

One worries how bad it has to get to wise these folks up

Between this tasteless move and the absolute terrible graphic design of the print magazine, they’ve convinced me to cancel. Bummer
