any system that makes Elon Musk the wealthiest person alive, and Donald Trump the most powerful persona alive, isn't running on "respectable arguments" and should stop pretending otherwise
There is a respectable argument for slowing down AI research, but it rests on the danger to all humanity of the technology being abused or going rogue—not the local harms of data centres

@stevenhyden.bsky.social @robmitchum.bsky.social Gentlemen- I’ve done my homework when is the Dave’s Picks 59 episode due to hit?

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

$100 to any reporter who asks him, "so you're saying Capitol Police should've shot dead everyone who breached the Capitol on January 6?"
Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

Yes. An example of how you can't actually "win" this competition even if you superficially hold all the cards. Media will emphasize "gay" characteritstics of Democrats while portraying prep school male cheerleader draft dodger Bush as a tough cowboy bsky.app/profile/drpe...
They framed Kerry (combat vet, motorcyclist) as an effete academic and Bush (American royalty with a hobby ranch) as the salt-of-the-earth people’s candidate.

they like trump and want to help him. tallarico winning a senate seat would hurt trump so they want to run stories that make it harder for tallarico to win a senate seat, by emphasizing his perceived weaknesses with the electorate (SECRET VEGETARIAN!?) and downplaying his strengths
Ken Paxton is historically corrupt, John Cornyn is a MAGA traffic cone, and Talarico might be a SECRET VEGETARIAN WITH MID TACO ORDERS. Which one has the best case to be elected to the Senate? WHO CAN SAY?

I really can’t state strongly enough how utterly stupid this is. Once you eliminate taxes for a class you will never be able to bring them back. And it WILL domino. Eliminating taxes and privatizing everything is the republicans’ end goal. Do not help them!!!
Peltola gets on the "no tax" train that Cory Booker, Chris Van Hollen and Katie Porter are hawking, calling to axe "federal income tax entirely for working Alaskans earning less than $92,000 per year." #AKSen

if the right is successful, it must be because the liberals possess some fatal shortcoming or overreached in a way that mechanically produced backlash. the idea that the political right is its own thing with its own aims, can harness discontent and take advantage of contingency is verboten i guess

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
The seven-member body, whose ranks are composed of Trump appointees, was expected to approve the arch. The proposed monument strongly resembles Paris' Arc de Triomphe, but almost 100 feet taller. n.pr/3O5czfK

If you tried to invent the most depraved US foreign policy it would look like this. No ideological principles, no geopolitical strategy, just corrupt interest & a bottomless appetite for Content
NEW: The Trump administration is seeking to oust the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, in its talks with Cuban political leaders. It plans to allow the Castro family to keep power if they agree to economic changes, creating a client state for the US. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/w...
