When everything begins to collapse, the fascist seeks out groups to blame: Migrants, Black folks, Muslims. Not the fact that this war is costing 1 billion dollars a day, or spending 300 million to do unnecessary upgrades to a ballroom, not AI, billionaires getting richer and cutting labor.

Today we learned that the Washington Post lost $100 million last year. At that rate, Jeff Bezos can only support it for the next 2,243 years before his fortune would be exhausted! Clearly the only solution is more layoffs.

We just hit the four-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. The number of soldiers killed, missing, or injured on both sides could reach 2 million by spring and could mark the largest number of troop deaths for any major power since WWII. Tell me again why Trump idolizes Putin?

Trump's brain flits wildly from Mamdani to shoveling snow to having a conversation with a woman in the audience who has bad eyes. He claims he "gave her a lot of money to get her eyes fixed." This event is totally off the rails.

Countries that do not embrace AI could be ‘left behind’, says OpenAI’s George Osborne
Without AI you will be a ‘weaker and poorer nation’, warns former UK chancellor two months into job at US firm The former chancellor George Osborne has warned that countries that do not embrace the kind of powerful AI systems made by his new employer, OpenAI, risked “Fomo” and could be left weaker and poorer. Osborne, who is two months into a job as head of the $500bn San Francisco AI company’s “for countries” programme, told leaders gathered for the AI Impact summit in Delhi: “Don’t be left behind.” He warned that without AI rollouts they could end up with a workforce “less willing to stay put” because they might want to seek AI-enabled fortunes elsewhere.

The problem with Elon Musk is that most of his ideas are simply too stupid to engage with seriously, and yet we’re practically forced to engage anyway.

I'm pretty sure I know. They aren't. We're not going to really be able to make a lot of progress in dealing with the implications of this tech unless and until we get rid of all this "woo-woo" talk about LLMs. Anthropic pushing this line is PR, unserious.

AI drones used in Gaza are now surveilling American cities…

And corporate media isn’t covering it.

www.donotpanic.news/p/the-ai-dro...
Drones used in Israel's genocide of Palestinians are now surveilling Americans. Why isn't corporate media covering it? According to Nate Bear's Substack ¡Do Not Panic!, after October 7, US drone manufacturer Skydio supplied more than 100 Al-powered surveillance drones to the Israeli military for use in Gaza. By 2025, US police departments across major cities began deploying the same drone models to monitor protests and public spaces. Skydio now holds contracts with more than 800 US law enforcement and security agencies, up from 320 in early 2024. Federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), use drones to track and pursue targets, while police departments launch them hundreds of times a day in towns and cities nationwide. A March 2025 rule change expanded police drone use by allowing flights beyond visual line of sight and over crowded areas. The New York Police Department alone has flown drones more than 20,000 times in under a year, including at political protests.

90% of people don't give a fuck about politics, they just want to raise a family and watch sports and live their lives in peace

But when you terminally fuck with their ability to do that in a direct and obvious way, they get VERY UPSET, and that is how revolutions historically happen

We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
