PILOT: for the inflight entertainment, welcome the comedy stylings of Jamie Kilstein
*claps*
KILSTEIN: thank you, give it up for the pilot everyone. Okay, let’s see [scans cabin] oh wow, we have Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker on board... and Chris Tucker... Alan Dershowitz??

[The Argument @TheArgumentMag]

Is it Hamas' fault for refusing to surrender, or did Biden fail by standing with Netanyahu? Matt Yglesias and Jerusalem Demsas don't see the war in Gaza the same way. Full debate out now: ranking the worst parts of the Biden presidency.

@_carlbeijer it’s not flying anywhere but CA because tech money is propping up a bunch of Abundance failsons to not have jobs but yell at anyone during public comment. They have ear of CA Dems. As a consequence, our electoral politics looks like absolute dogshit compared to NY.

Socialism seems to be the wave of the future.

scrolling through your extensive record of supporting genocide seems much worse than “luxury condos not built in place of a grocery store”

you can’t wet blanket this that voters outside NYC don’t experience a similar shared material reality, then turn around and hype a book how everywhere should look like a college dormitory on top of a data center.

@harrisonjaime sorry we’re winning elections, guy whose job it was to win elections but didn’t

[Jimmy Trillstein @JimmyTrillstein]

@uhshanti so much of the CA proposition system is someone outside a grocery store saying “sign to fund schools” and then you find out it’s paid for by DuPont and exempts them from giving children cancer for 30 years

I wrote a series of stories on Kalibrate's fuel pricing tools almost exactly a year ago.

Happy to see this lawsuit going after the practices I'd highlighted.

the British prime minister process involves a lengthy and traditional process determined by how many half-nude women you can chase at 2x speed set to “Yakety Sax”

[Film The Police LA @FilmThePoliceLA]

An LAPD union director’s daughter killed someone and then claimed the stress gave her “Irritable Bowel Syndrome.”

She was able to retire from the LAPD at 31 with a disability pension—that we will be paying.

@DonaldJTrumpJr congrats on getting JCOPA back and giving Iran $300 billion

everyone turned homes into financial instruments and now here we are…

no, seriously. We would use full force of the military state to crush a secessionist movement, but when CEOs position themselves as para-state elites acting as thought they’ve seceded from the state, it’s pull out the checkbook and ask how many zeros.

[Jimmy Trillstein @JimmyTrillstein]

fourth option - and I’m just putting it on the table here - what about execution?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

At the G7, the CEOs of the big AI companies sat at the table like heads of state, alongside presidents and prime ministers.

This is the nightmare scene.

Governments need to have a response to the state-like power of these companies, whether it’s by taking ownership shares, breaking them up into smaller entities, or imposing a regulatory structure that controls their power over citizens.

it should be required if you use Obama-voice, you have to at least blow Larry Sinclair in the back of a limousine

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: We see a faithless president, self-dealing, while he depicts himself as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation recklessly into war, plunders our health care, and sends prices soaring. 

And while the people pay more than ever for groceries and housing and health care, he builds a monument to himself. 

While a cancer patient loses health coverage, he adorns his office in gold. 

Voting rights laws are dismantled, prisons for immigrants are full of children, and all the while we see this wickedness advanced and defended by those who wrap themselves in the banner of righteous faith. 

But we ask, where in Scripture are we commanded to deny care to the sick, to take from those with the least to give to those with the most, to violate the house of worship to hunt down the refuge

[Jimmy Trillstein @JimmyTrillstein]

we’re going to see a lot more “actually your doctor is mid. Upload your medical history to [insert AI con]” by people who get treated at some hormone clinic in Panama from a dude who has a medical license out of St. Barts or some Caribbean island veterinary school.
