Media outlets seem to have soured on the AI hype machine.

Anyone else noticing WaPo magically acted a little better the last week? Almost as if Jeff Bezos is afraid of being targeted by the new Congress next year? Don’t buy it people. Jeff needs to answer for the deaths of too many Amazon workers.

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

We are so past the point of it being acceptable to enjoy her poorly written work. HBO should be investigated to see if it knowingly provided material support to Rowling’s campaign of terror against trans people. Rowling and her accomplices belong in jail.

"When she calls trans women men, over and over and over again, she’s not describing what she understands to be reality or defending women or making a point about the definitions of words, she’s seeking to create a picture of a monstrous person who should be feared and shunned."

Listen I’m all for giving Mamdani a hard time for his disturbing support of a billionaire commissioner and silence on police violence, but playing basketball at a city facility is not something I care about. He’s a famous mayor facing security threats, it makes sense he uses a secure facility.

I’ve said if you nominate bad Democrats, you put your left flank at risk and I could see the GOP funding a left wing sounding PAC attacking them. Well, looks like the GOP is actually doing it, though I didn’t expect it against David Crowley. I expected it against someone like Jared Moskowitz.

My generation had mass unemployment and we (stupidly) blamed ourselves. Today mass unemployment of the young seems to be coming back but instead of blaming themselves they are taking to the streets. I think if nothing is fixed, it’s only a matter of time before the Paris riots come to our shores.

This citation is incorrect. The study applies specially to 2022 and is located within the COVID pandemic. It also is a descriptor of substance abuse disorders (which may explain the person not being able to work) and not lethargy or a simple refusal to work *during pandemic disruptions*.

Angie Nixon got a big endorsement from the last Democrat to win Florida and the White House twice.

The WSJ discusses how hard it is to own a laundromat. Btw the article mentions the cost to purchase one starts at a mere $300,000 (some go for as much as $3 million). Remember, one has to be of substantial financial means to be a “small business” owner.

Another day, another corporate media giant doing something that stinks. Liberals don’t know how to discuss these issues and think we need to do more to support legacy media. But the issue is that journalistic ethics and profits just don’t mix. We need to support not for profit progressive news.

JK Rowling and her stooge Neil Blair are transphobic pieces of shit. They and those in the entertainment industry who work with them deserve no peace and should be no safer than the trans lives they destroy. Harry Potter stopped being decent long ago, it’s time to let it die.

“a comment criticized as homophobic” this monstrous bigot could goosestep around in a full hitler costume and the nyt would write “some say” he’s a nazi

Just a reminder, the things Florida’s Democratic establishment are saying about Angie Nixon I’ve heard before — when they would bemoan Andrew Gillum’s primary victory.

The Democratic establishment is trying to sow a post election narrative that Nixon — regardless of if she wins or outperforms Jolly — turned voters off. This is absurd and shows a lack of understanding on how voter turnout works. It also might be a racist dog whistle.

I don’t care what a rich person such as Kelly Clarkson says. I also don’t pity dramatic business owners. This is a reminder that celebrities and capitalists (big and small) are not worth our time or energy.

They wil be back Oct 27th 💅

This is an old article, but its headline says what I’ve been thinking for some time:

Happy Saturday morning

I don’t know why the Trump regime is going this. All they are doing is legitimizing such events for when the time comes to start prosecuting billionaires.

I said it in 2025, all this redistricting just is gonna water down safe Republican seats. And now the polling is showing it. Sometimes Trump acts like a Democratic mole.

The more you know:

Politico notes Mamdani listens to NYC DSA and may pivot if they push back on him. Well NYC DSA, where are you? Many of us in DSA have long been concerned with your chapter but ignored it since you won so many elections, but we can’t ignore this crap forever. It’s time to step up!

Mamdani has done so many important things, but he has capitulated far too much to this billionaire police commissioner. It’s ok to call out Mamdani for this disturbing behavior. I know we all still like him, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore this stuff. Hold elected officials accountable!

Florida ranks as the 47th safest state. It’s 19th in police per capita. A glaring reminder that large police forces and huge amounts of police spending doesn’t lead to safe places. Maybe we should ask what spending all that money on police gets us?

It’s rare the DSCC and I agree, but there talk of netting up to 240 seats is sound. Trump’s cratering and while Dems don’t look great, lefties are unseating so many establishment incumbents this cycle that voters see a new party worth voting for.

New Yorker dives into one former law student dealing with the ramifications of not being sorry enough for Charlie Kirk after his death. I don’t care what she did or didn’t say. The fact is, this kind of repression is common in our authoritarian police state. It’s a reminder we are not free.

Injustice Alito thinks reigning in the court is intimidation. I’m glad. Squirm.

New book, Crossing the Red Line, is a damming account against Joe Biden and many in his administration. Many of us already know Joe was complicit in genocide, but this book lays out how they misled the public and confirms they knew what they were doing.

Socialism is democracy. “Democracy should not end when the workday begins. Workers deserve a say over how their workplaces are run — and a claim on the wealth they create.”

I’m glad this is getting talked about more. People (ok maybe just liberals) have always felt a strong desire to defend higher education. I want higher ed to be great too, but people really need to come to terms with how broken, anti-democratic and capitalist these institutions have become.

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

For those still discussing Massachusetts lesbian bars, just reread Lenin’s Left wing communism an infantile disorder and replace Mensheviks and bourgeois with performative justice activists, and replace opportunistic scum with Boston Globe and everything fits together really well.

One of the big differences between Microsoft and Meta/Facebook is that Microsoft would just buy a company and get into their market that way while Facebook produces a knockoff that never actually goes anywhere.

Sam Altman and OpenAI’s board should be immediately arrested and the company shut down while investigators determine what the company did and how much damage they’ve caused the American people.

Republicans are quietly admitting the Florida Senate race is close. Angie Nixon is exciting people here. So where is the DSCC? Where are all the Blue Centrists who hated Graham Platner saying we need more women of color candidates? Angie Nixon is a Black woman who can win a senate seat. WTF Dems?

Boomers have been given every advantage, older Americans are the wealthiest age group by far. The idea that we should continue to provide these fat cats with tax breaks is disgusting. Tax the rich regardless of age. Period.

In America, If you’re a giant for profit corporation, the courts will protect you claiming access to the White House is your constitutional right. Meanwhile our courts consistently fail to extend constitutional protections to peace activists or the public in general.

One of the few actual practical potential uses for language models is complex data analyst. Yet of course somehow Anthropic and OpenAI need to find ways to be reckless and not bother with basic research standards. So once again AI is more flash than substance.

Let me fix Politico’s headline based on the actual article text: Netanyahu falsely accuses Mamdani of “inciting riots against New York Jews.” There you go fixed it.

Is it just me, or does this Atlantic Magazine headline ignore something? Is the magazine really going to claim the reckoning Israel needs to confront has nothing to do with war crimes and genocide?

I give David GOP Jolly a lot of shit — all deserved — but I am glad to see him talking more and more about investigations and potentially prosecuting Florida Republican leaders. Honestly, I could vote for a terrible candidate if I think he will jail other terrible politicians.

This article is hilarious. US company enters China with goal of making blueberries trendy and selling them at high prices and claims some blueberries genes are copyrighted. Meanwhile the people of China are like we can grow them ourselves and sell them for less thank you. Take that big business 🤣

Kit Harington is a piece a shit along with everyone else involved in this show.

I’m very much with JJR on this. Alligator Auschwitz was a concentration camp. DeSantis, Uthmeier, and many more belong in jail for this. It’s time.

UN finds the United States likely has committed war crimes in Iran. It’s time we start treating such things seriously.

What could get me in November 2028 to pull the lever for a moderate Dem? Well, assuming they do not support genocide, if they were a moderate but wanted to aggressively prosecute the GOP that could sway me. Not in the primary obvi but I could see the left accept an anti war anti corruption Dem.

Macklemore says “free Palestine” and the ADL applauds him losing gigs for it. Kanye West puts out a song called “Heil Hitler” the org can’t be bothered to have an opinion on it. Instead, they insert themselves into the concert venues to do trainings on hate symbols.
