Today’s free newsletter has a very simple message: The AI industry can not (and will not) be bailed out - AI is not too big to fail, OpenAI is not AIG, this is not 2008, and all of this is nothing like the Dot Com Bubble. And when it fails, we must let AI burn. www.wheresyoured.at/let-ai-burn/

Apropos of nothing at all, @hcrichardson.bsky.social, has any state ever elected a professional historian to the US Senate? How about Maine, specifically?

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

This is a great, easy-to-follow explainer about what's happening with the economy and why: youtu.be/aUM4kv0HnG0?...

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

A new investigation has reportedly backed up evidence given by a woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13.

Used to think the big advantages of parliamentary systems was how they offered more ideological diversity than America's two parties but now I'm pretty cinvinced the chief advantage is that governments can collapse when they don't pass budgets and reform into one that will.

Things Ds can be fighting for now: - Recommit to Europe/Ukraine, stop appeasing Putin, who is helping Iran attack US - End the war, prevent US/global economies from going to sh*t - Roll back the inflationary tariffs - Rescind Trump tax cuts, ICE expansion - Make US clean energy superpower More 👇

⚡️UPDATE: Under Trump the Tennessee Valley Authority is sticking with coal rather than clean energy — and letting Elon DOUBLE xAI’s power draw… with no public input. The oligarchy is straight-up looting our state, and our country. grist.org/energy/the-n...

We must stop funding DHS.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

PSA: When Trump says Biden had high inflation, he leaves out that it had come down by the time he left, and was among the lowest in the world when Trump took over — and that the inflation was a global issue everyone experienced post-COVID.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

No Kings Nashville

This is important. The GOP can open the government literally today with zero Democrats. Just ditch the filibuster. Go ahead. Why won’t they do it?

We have always been at war with Tylenol

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

An Iowa official defied the governor’s orders to fly flags at half-staff for Charlie Kirk, writing he wouldn't honor a man who "did so much harm"

The alleged Charlie Kirk shooter proudly wearing his Trump costume for Halloween in 2017

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

BREAKING: Federal appeals court rejects Trump's sweeping tariff moves. 7-4. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We are pleased to report from the new MAGA Patriotic Bureau of Labor Statistics that thanks to Leader Trump employment is up 10 million jobs for the month of August.”

For the zillionth time, the S Ct makes the best case for expanding the court and enacting term limits. It is hopeless as currently constituted

Chess analysis: By disconcertingly eating his own rook and two queen side pawns, Trump is opening up the board and affording himself various attacking and defensive plans during a congested middle game.

This guy consistently posts songs with incredible lyrics mere hours after events unfurl. This was a good one.

i'm starting to see some scoldy posts pointing out that we are laughing about a fire on the deck of our sinking ship and i have to be honest once the ship started sinking i decided i would take the laughs where i found them

US Court of International Trade has issued unanimous ruling in case against Trump “liberation day” tariffs ruling also covers case filed by 12 states led by Oregon All tariffs invalidated as beyond scope of executive power; implementation blocked by permanent injunction, per @ilyasomin.bsky.social

Every American generation made more than their parents until 1980. Reagan fixed that - and it has not returned. The rich are doing better than before the great depression. Marie Antoinette would blush.

Elon Musk’s AI bot, Grok, on the differences between the political parties.

Dems desperately need fresh leadership in power positions. That's why it's important Dems go with folks like @repjasmine.bsky.social or @aoc.bsky.social leading oversight - who know what it takes to take on the Trump regime in the modern media landscape unlike most of their boomer counterparts.

Donald Trump's first 100 days have been characterized by the most flagrant corruption imaginable. Today, I want to talk about 10 of the absolute worst examples. (Thread 🧵)

"Homegrown criminals are next" to be sent to the Salvadoran concentration camp without due process, beyond the reach of the US Constitution. Regime critics beware.

This will be a super-handy way for businesses to buy tariff waivers. Tim Apple can whip out his iPhone, blast some shitcoin in Trump's coffers and, voila, no more tariffs on Apple products!

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

China continues trolling the US with new videos. Here’s one - “US sweatshop factory”
