Latest piece. If the Dems take control of Congress, the first investigation (after corruption) has to be about the use of AI in US warfare. American tech executives have placed themselves in a pernicious situation and we need to understand what happened. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-first-...

When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

"The paper claims that by simply reading an article, you agree that you can never, ever sue them for virtually any reason, and that you have consented to effectively unlimited surveillance and commercial exploitation of your private data."

“Shadow docket” is the sort of name you’d come up with if you were writing an authoritarian dystopia.

God willing, today is the day enough Israeli voters send Benjamin Netanyahu packing. More than 100,000 Israelis living overseas have traveled back, the vast majority of them specifically to vote against Netanyahu. Let's all hope for the best.

When they tell us "there is no alternative," what they mean is "stop trying to think of alternatives." To imagine radically is to move beyond the helplessness of prediction: a radical imagination dares to insist that history is what we make, not what happens to us.

You cannot understand Vietnam without the Cold War. And you cannot understand the Iran War without considering the sun and the moon of Trump’s dysfunction: Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama.

“Having high-speed rail is now seen as a requirement of 21st-century nationhood. With cars being problematic in so many ways, high-speed trains seem to have been blessed with good great fortune: they are beautiful, fast, elegant, modern and environmentally friendlier." @christianwolmar.bsky.social

Flávio, these are all really good ideas

1. Lose election 2. Assume Trump will steal election for him 3. Trump is flailing around and failing to steal his own election 4. Oh shit oh fuck

A federal judge. Where we are as a country.

bots filing lawsuits would result in a tsunami of absolutely frivolous bullshit that would destroy thousands of small businesses and ruin millions of lives. Fuck "A.i."

I think the average person has no idea how a video game is made and so it makes sense they would focus on wanting to save an IP and not the devs behind it. Being on an AAA team means there are a handful of chosen speakers at the top, and the average worker can’t speak out or risk losing their job.

Suffice it to say that RFK Jr should live the rest of his life penniless, shunned, and outcast from common society for the shit I just saw him say, and that’s just for what he said on Monday of this week, not the balance of his entire preposterous and destructive career

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Republicans being even more Islamophobic than they were after 9/11 while the Republican president is literally in business with Saudi Arabia really is the worst of all possible worlds.

I like how ESPN makes it sound like the Eagles have had just “recent” postseason success compared to the Cowboys. Since 1990 it was them for the first EIGHT YEARS and then us for the next TWENTY-EIGHT.

Me putting Eagles-Cowboys on the TV and turning to my kids who are used to 3 Super Bowls and 2 Lombardis in 7 years.

"president trump...i could use your help here" "i am sorry flávio but i am busy attacking bill maher"

AHAHAHAHAHAAAAA WHOOPS, DID YOU TRY TO DO A COUP JUST LIKE DADDY, AND LOSE TO THE SAME GUY AS DADDY? SUCKS TO SUCK, HOPE THAT IF YOU'VE GOT A SON THEY PREEMTIVELY LOCK HIM UP TOO LOLLLLLL

Donald Trump not taking the first Black president ridiculing him well is kind of the defining story of our time

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

This is right But I have sympathy for people who feel a sense of ownership over art. These things will be in the public domain one day, and I think a tiny fraction of this outcry speaks to the desire for that to happen faster.

I know people fucking hate creatives and artists, and are glad to learn we are suffering and dying. But watching other artists hate and doom fellow artists is particularly enraging.

Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

Reminder: Trump raised tariffs on Brazil, pushing them to release Jair Bolsonaro, a fellow insurrectionist. Both Zuck and Musk titled the scales on their platforms to favor Jair’s son. So yeah, Trump and the Broligarchs were on the ballot. …and the Brazilian people told them to go to hell.

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

the relief isn’t coming before election day. gas holding at $4.24/gal, diesel at $6.34/gal — Great Lakes spiking on a refinery issue, Hormuz at a fraction of normal traffic, and every policy lever has been pulled. weekly update is live!

BERMAN: Who's making a 'freakin fortune' as Trump put it with high oil and gas prices? REP. PETE SESSIONS: You know, I'm not really sure, John

I wonder whether Trump v. USA will be used as a defense for even this.

Every animal Trump correctly identified on his dementia exam as a character from Game of Thrones. by Chris Cillizza

Just to underline the point that the Trump administration is anti-democracy, they are promoting the textbook exemplar for democratic backsliding to lead the UN. Also, good time to point out that the US has not paid its UN dues, and now owes it more than $4 billion. www.wsj.com/opinion/vikt...
