Sometimes you have to back up a little bit and think about what things really mean: The top priority of the Trump-led Republican Party is to keep Democrats from voting. That’s their most important policy position right now.

Exactly

You really have to admire Antifa’s artistic skill.

With nothing but box cutters, they somehow managed to perfectly recreate the intricate look of poorly applied paint peeling off concrete that had concentrated peroxide dumped all over it.

Incredible craftsmanship.

Both these headlines are from Texas this month.

Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

@girlsreallyrule It is just another Market Manipulation Monday.

@howieeday As mentioned in a previous post, I think this a good motion-picture ancestor to the Nebula-Class starship. I still think there is an imbalance with it being front heavy with the back being a little empty.

This has all the familiar hallmarks of the peak of an investment bubble

Stage 1: An influx of investor capital (i.e. dumb VCs with money burning a hole in their pocket) gives rise to fundamentally unprofitable business models (AI Labs)

Stage 2: This sends false price signals throughout the economy (i.e. selling compute at negative margins), causing massive misallocation of capital (businesses and employee workflows built around artificially cheap compute) .

Stage 3 (you are here): The false price signals inevitably clash with economic reality. In a race to show less horrific cash burn ahead of their IPOs, OpenAI and Anthropic have switched to consumption-based pricing models, and now we're suddenly finding out that companies like Uber and WalMart are cutting back on consumption

Stage 4 (coming to a stonk near you): Lots of paper wealth gets vaporized

@ryanpatrickauth I prefer the original TIE Fighter game design of the Missile Boat, not the shrunken version of a Lambda Shuttle.

Allow me to be the first to congratulate the MAGA morons, who spent years howling about the $1.7B that Obama returned to Iran.

Your 4D chess master is handing Iran $300B, to open the Strait of Hormuz, that Obama kept open for free.

Brilliant!

@howieeday The second photo is a great shot. Love it as a 23rd century precursor to the Nebula-Class. The aft section does need some refinement since the balance of the ship from front-to-back feels off. Possibly a pod for scientific research needs to be added in like the Nebula or Miranda.

The MAGAs have spent 11 years spreading hate around the internet like goddamn fertilizer but then clutch their pearls when someone tells them to shove it up their ass

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

MAGA: “If you’re here legally, you have nothing to worry about.”

Also MAGA: “Just comply and show your ID.”

The reality:

A U.S. citizen. Born in Colorado. Mother of four. Stopped in Lafayette, Louisiana. Shackled. Detained in an ICE facility anyway.

She showed agents her state-issued ID and Social Security card. ICE reportedly called them “fake,” handcuffed her, chained her ankles, interrogated her, and transported her to a detention center. She was released hours later only after legal intervention.

The lesson is not “show your papers.”

The lesson is that papers don’t protect you when power decides not to read them.

This is not “law and order.”
This is state abuse.

Fight Trump. Fight ICE: https://t.co/VXiWmshWgj

Kroger, parent of Fred Meyer and QFC, promises to slash prices by changing how it resupplies its stores. Shoppers aren't holding their breath. https://t.co/AGLTssv5ur

NEWSMAX: This Cuba thing -- people struggle with how this is America first when gas is $4.55 a gallon

COMER: Cuba has always been a security threat

NEWSMAX: Really?

COMER: If some country went in and loaded Cuba with the same drones Iran had, yes I think it could be a threat

NEWSMAX: Sounds like a false flag
