Most rural areas have a ruling class. And they want cheap unfree workers & to pass their fiefdoms on tax-free forever. It ain't rocket science. The fact that we're scared to talk about THAT, ime, is what's costing us a lot of rural voters!
"The people who work on farms often don't own them" is something that would have been completely intuitive to 99% of people for 99% of human history but is completely unintelligible to the people who make US public policy.
Sarah TaberA very serious Rural Politico once told me "Dems have to go to farmer meetings! We gotta be where the people are!" I was in fact in a farmer meeting at that very moment! So I live-texted him the meeting. They were complaining that they want indentured workers that they don't have to pay or feed.
Centrists discovering a brand new problem that no one in the electorate has ever had to confront before: the expectation that they have to vote for a nominee they don't like and whose supporters were dicks to them. Uncharted waters. We'll just have to figure it out as we go, I guess.
this is deeply and damnably irresponsible, but, also, what’s even the actual benefit for google here? what is the product use case for this?
Joseph CoxNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
Have you ever noticed that most of the major AI company logos look like buttholes? For my Sick Burns Friday post, I judged and ranked each of them based on how much they resemble hole: www.burnsnotice.com/ai-company-l...
A simple rule for any journalist who cares about this country: "The lie never gets the headline or the lead sentence—the truth does, every time."
The U.S. State department has taken "full responsibility" for presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. Every single one. The map had a watermark indicating it was made using AI from OpenAI.
if you want to stick it to aipac, worth donating to cori bush, whose election looks a lot closer and where there's a lot less money in the race. www.coribush.org
I was just thinking this. Animal shelters in other cities seem to be experiencing an uptick in owner surrenders as well.

1/ They are not afraid Abdul El-Sayed will lose. They are afraid he will win and then deliver, the way Zohran Mamdani did. That is what $30+ million from AIPAC really buys in Michigan: five more days of calling a doctor too radical. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

A conspiracy to obstruct ICE by discussing how fascist their behavior is? Shouldn't ICE stop its fascist and unconstitutional behavior instead of trying to throw those who criticize it in prison? I mean if America is still a constitutional republic and a representative democracy that is...

PlayboyWhat are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...
All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
