"GOP Showcases 'Animatronic Senator' Technology"

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Hi Dems, don’t think that millions of Muslims - & not just Muslims but anti-racist liberal & leftist Americans - don’t hear the deafening silence from most of you as the Muslim Democratic mayor of New York is being smeared and attacked by the GOP and right-wing media over 9/11.

If abuse isn't necessary, it would mean the abuse they suffered at the hands of their parents didn't have to happen. That would make them sad, and so they have to give it meaning. So, you get a variation on: "Not only is abuse natural and inevitable, it is good, actually."

Imagine the self restraint to wait two and a half decades to tell this story for the first time.

Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

It’s not conspiratorial or anti-Semitic for Al Sayed to point out that AIPAC spent $30 million to oppose his candidacy. It’s true. And it’s an extraordinary outlier in a primary campaign.

It is not a "grim choice" to support either a psychotic Republican or a mainstream center-left politician.

That's a faulty premise. The tech currently marketed as "ai" is not, and cannot be, intelligent / sentient. Discussions about an alternate universe where AGI is a real thing that exists on our technological horizon may be fun in a vacuum. But in our reality gen "ai" is nothing more than theft.

It objectively is. Your mind is not a computer. It's nothing like a computer. It's not computing anything. That's not how it works. The urge to compare the human mind to the most advanced technology of the time goes back to at least the Bronze age.

A thing the right has a history of too: a different tactical purpose, but Murray Rothbard is on record, for example, of how his faction of the right deliberately stole the label “libertarian” as an identifier from leftist anarchists l because of the positive associations the word held at the time.

American conservatives have cultivated the idea that government is unhelpful and dangerous more lovingly than any other people on earth, and they have at the same time -- in part through that idea -- cultivated a government less helpful to its own and more dangerous to others than perhaps any other

“We need data centers to stay ahead of China” seems to be a common belief of AI supporters. Why can’t we ever want to stay “ahead of China” when it comes to high-speed rail or EVs or low cost of living or public safety?

You are a valued and important defender of white people. Thank you so much for defending whiteness. Without people like you, violent racists wouldn't get to hide in white society.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.

When you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.

Trump promised to lower grocery prices on day 1. MAGA voted for him. Mamdani *actually* finds a way to lower grocery prices and they’re mad 💀

United Democracy Project, an AIPAC-affiliated super PAC, is running YouTube ads featuring an AI-generated Trump assisting Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan campaign. “Don’t Help Trump’s Candidate,” the ad warns. Meanwhile, United Democracy Project’s largest donor is Paul Singer, a major Trump fundraiser.

It is still bizarre to me how perfectly the Trump embodies the Ultimate Antichrist of the 1980s apocalyptic imagination, including the fact that the people who “warned” about the coming of such a man are his biggest followers.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how MAGA is the feral embodiment of every single negative stereotype about Americans and American culture, brought to putrid and wildly destructive life.

It's almost - & I could be wrong, I could be wrong - it's almost like a highly protected serial pedophile (rapist & fraudster) has shared his protection to other pedophiles... & they only have to worship the One Pedophile. ... I could be wrong. 😐
