β€œMAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

The original story, which the NYT had the good grace to link to, is so much worse than the Times makes it sound:

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

If human rights are limited to certain groups, they are not really human rights, are they?

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Three or four of these despicable group chats have become public, but here's the thing: It's absolutely certain that there are HUNDREDS of group chats just like them that we'll never learn about. There's an entire generation of groyper Republicans, and in a few years they'll be running the party.

Amazing how all the current GOP group chats inevitably devolve into the worst Nazi aspects of 8chan, surely this isn’t a sign of what the party has morphed into

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

MAGA Unreality vs the World The U.S. government is in the hands of people who are fully detached from reality. That is a major weakness for the regime – but also a source of further radicalization.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as β€œthe middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

(2/2) I've never painted such large areas before! 60 x 42 cmts and full of diminutive details. Watercolor makes it tricky and methodical.
Anyways, go and grab the game! It's incredible. Physical copies include these 2 pieces as posters and alt cover.

Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse.

Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs.

Democrats had two years to fix this.

The unspoken third phrase in "Bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus ..." is "...and all the Jews die" but they skirt over that bit of the mythology.
