The resignation around #AI I’m seeing is extraordinary. It’s revitalizing the fossil fuel industry and burning the planet to make slop no one really wants out of stolen goods, but it’s here and if we don’t use it we’ll be left behind, so we might as well make it part of everything we do! No saying no to a handful of cybertruckfucks in Palo Alto!

Not for the first time, an NYT editor cuts a piece off at its knees with an insultingly annodyne headline. The original headline - as found in the email newsletter - was "JD Vance’s blood-and-soil nationalism finds its target." Nation's foremost hillbilly whisperer thinks the Tsar was the real hero of Fiddler on the Roof.

It would be a tragic failure of the imagination for Jurassic World Rebirth to not include a scene of RFK Jr. brought into custody for attempting to abscond with a T-Rex carcass. "Gonna need a bigger fridge" will instantly replace the Jaws reference in the hearts and minds of cinema goers.

When Republican governors across the country were eliminating school lunches, Tim Walz was signing a bill into law guaranteeing ALL students receive free breakfast and lunch regardless of household income

Tim Walz is going to be an excellent vice president!

@UncivilServant If tomorrow, one of the candidates gets hit by falling space debris, that does not knock their party off the ballot. They can nominate someone else at their (not yet held) conventions and appear on the ticket in every state.

“They gave me the exact questions to ask,” Ingram, whose “The Earl Ingram Show” is broadcast statewide across 20 Wisconsin outlets, told The Associated Press. “There was no back and forth.”

Rick Perlstein is one of the commentators whose work I follow most avidly, because I always learn something even when I (rarely) disagree.

His fury with Biden -- on the heels of his gratified astonishment that Biden's presidency (until Gaza) was the most thrilling run of progressive achievement in decades -- is something to behold, and weigh: https://prospect.org/politics/2024-07-03-joe-biden-age-democracy/

Say It Ain’t So, Joe

With democracy itself on the ballot, a statesman with character would know when to let go of power.
