Aww, may our Ziggy Terriers be having a wonderful time causing all the havoc in Dog Heaven.
It was good iof you to at least have a friendly chat with the gull. Maybe it'll encourage it to keep practicing it's bark. 😄
I hope Gull earned a treat for that new trick.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men. “This technology disrupts humanities-trained—largely Democratic—voters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters,” Karp said in a CNBC interview Thursday. “And so these disruptions are gonna disrupt every aspect of our society. And to make this work, we have to come to an agreement of what it is we’re going to do with the technology; how are we gonna explain to people who are likely gonna have less good, and less interesting jobs.”
This is what happens when corrupt pols let private-sector sociopaths who are hyper-focused on reactionary social engineering have untrammeled economic power. Gotta regulate the ever-loving fuck outta these shitheads before they make serfs of us all.

I love that feed. I'm stuck in a WaPo subscription so I like to make stories available for free just to stick it to them. 😂 (In seriousness, it's a really beneficial way of sharing good journalism.)
Another super compelling Long Read well worth the effort. (And I mean LONG. I ended up listening to most of it because I had things to do but I couldn't put it down!)
Wow, that was a painful read. Thank you so much for sharing the gift link.
Can't wait til this psychopath needs a doctor or a lawyer or someone to be his food-taster.
Florsheims are what Grandpa Simpson would buy Bart for his college graduation.
Does *anybody* press these lying warmongers to state outright what, exactly, threat Iran was to "Americans here?"
we mostly sell that oil to ourselves so it's a wash
it just redistributes the wealth from the rest of us, to the oil barons
Having just spent 3 weeks in the Südtirol, I think I encountered his type more than once.
In Federal Court, no less!
TheY are nothing if not unoriginal.
The fax went out
Ah, here's the new talking point. 🙄
$250,000K and another Bald Eagle Experience. He can't turn it down!
The same "logic" could ban almost any medical care on the basis of "encouraging people to appreciate what they have", which fits right in with the "we all die" party line. Abhorrent in this case and all others.
Look at them 🥹😻
The Lemkin Institute has issued a *THIRD* trans genocide warning, noting the next stage is widespread containment - and this was before the 4th Circuit ruled today that states can essentially do whatever they want to make trans people "appreciate their sex".

I think trans people are among the least surprised by this 'radical incrementalism'. We've been saying it for *years* now.
Give them an inch, they'll take a life.
This is such a heartbreaking twist on the original saying, and I'm so, so sorry this nation cannot acknowledge the horrid truth of it. 💙

I love this example.
We have a friend with what was a thriving Indian restaurant in Pioneer Square. She's extremely worried because, first, their Canadian-customer business fell off a cliff, now they're bracing for the financial difficulties of World Cup fans cancelling coming to the US for games. Big double whammy.
We are being ruled by infantile narcissists.
3/ Your local GOP state rep may not be writing the laws they sponsor. They often push factory-made national bills designed to unify state control under a single coordinated script. This top-down supply chain gives the GOP its initial foothold in state legislatures.
A half-blurry photo of an American Crow on a fence. The crow has its back to the camera, but is looking back over its left shoulder. Its right leg is extended as it turns away. Branches of Douglas Fir dangle in the background.
Put your right foot in, put your right foot out, put your right foot in

James Talarico: As a millennial, I saw how military disasters like the Iraq war robbed this nation of young lives, billions of dollars, and our moral standing.
We are always told we don’t have enough money for schools but there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.
Most definitely yes.
Can we move the timeline along to the "Naked Emperor expects courtiers to parade naked, too," part? More than metaphorically, I mean.
