Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Check out how easy this is.

Just as a private equity firm buys out a corporation and strips it for parts, a consultant class is raiding the Democratic Party and getting “generationally wealthy” along the way New from me and @adambonica.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2163...

I watched Existenz recently and I can’t decide if David Cronenberg has never played a video game before in his life, and wrote the script after someone explained the concept to him. Or if he understands games on much deeper level than most gamers. Possibly both.

Sam Lake looking a a kaleidoscope: “this is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen”

I'm having a really hard time processing this as real.

Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

Trump fucked up the *American* renewable transition but he might have had the largest positive effect on the global transition of any president ever

I think it is very important that Big Balls, personally, goes to jail there are a lot of young goons who think they are invincible and it is important to make it clear that they are not

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

I just wrote a paranormal story in the form of a fictional forum thread! A young woman discovers a video captured from inside a recurring dream. Read here: suricrasia.online/unfiction/sp...

My “I’m not complicit” notes app post is raising lots of questions already answered by my post

btw Kanye did a song Heil Hitler and no one stepped in to oppose his tour(s), which is ongoing. In fact, Kanye is scheduled to perform at one of the stadiums Macklemore has been stopped from being at.

"my LLM is so powerful it's dangerous and risks breaking containment!" "ok let's destroy it" "oh, haha, no. no." "let's intensively regulate your company then" "oh, no. no. look can you just put it in the newspaper that it's powerful"

It's very easy to wear a suit and tie in any major city, even if the aesthetic has mostly disappeared from daily life, because there are people outside wearing pink tutus with Army boots. As usual, your liberation is connected to other people's liberation.

Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay was the most pivotal piece of post 9/11 American literature. In this essay I will

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.

Do you want to tinker with a Redbox machine? We are imminently moving and need three of them to not be in our garage because we won't have room for all of them. Free. You'll need a truck. Please come adopt one. Must go by September 13th or will be recycled. Located near Bellevue, WA.

Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection

It’s kinda wild how Trump managed to turn American politics into a Chinese imperial court drama in like, less than 2 years. We’ve got scheming viziers plotting to get each other arrested for trumped up crimes and everything

I think it's bad that the Democrats' House leader is having secret chummy meetings with a guy doing a domestic ethnic cleansing operation and funding a genocide abroad, then spending his entire week going on cable news to complain about a lefty Twitch streamer who nobody knows. Sorry for offending.

One of the things that we need to internalize as progressives of all stripes is that there are internal conversations to be had in private with people who are on the same page that can be productive and there are external conversations where you need to not scare the hoes

Rest in peace to one of the best to ever do it.

do not insult machines. this could actually happen

I'm sorry but "a huge number of NYC cabs now are remaindered EVs running grey market software written by some dude in a garage" is the most cyberpunk thing I've ever heard

Axelrod is nominative determinism in that he’s a living embodiment of that meme of the bicyclist sticking a rod into his own axel and falling off

Seeing random middle aged guy drinking a glass of Chardonnay on his porch while watching the sunset. “Damn I wish I had that life” wait a second, there’s no reason I couldn’t do that shit too. What’s stopping me? Anyways enjoy this sunset I guess

*youth pastor voice* you know, some day Sudo was the original “privledge check”

How to win at most all things:

"hmm maybe this whole Arday affair shows that we need to have a Serious Conversation about whether Woke 1.0 overreached in manner X, Y, of Z" motherfucker you are generally in Fascism 487.0, as is this particular affair you're talking about. worry about *that*. /Final

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

New: 3 yrs ago I published exposé revealing Richard Hanania used pseudonym to write for Nazi sites Ever since I've watched centrist media rehabilitate him, accepting his ludicrous claim to have left white nationalism behind. My look at what it means, for @marisakabas.bsky.social' The Handbasket

yeah man "woke 1" sucked ass. I "woke 1" morning from uneasy dreams to find myself transformed into a giant insect

Ah yeah this is the neighborhood drama I crave

a lot of the fun of making these dried up once I discovered that there's an ai boomhauerifier online now
