"Working class" has been a very vague term for a very long time, but we've hit a stage where it's a self-chosen label for any white man who is openly racist and/or has a beard and some muscles, which is inevitably going to lead people to some completely stupid conclusions.

absolutely insane that $100/barrel brent crude by Monday is, like, an optimistic outcome.
Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.
it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor
Boosting the KS for a very interesting cyberpunk rpg with some very strong con and heist mechanics snuck in there among the retro future chewiness. I’m stealing a chunk of this.
Going to pivot off of this very smart post to emphasize of the downsides to anthropomorphizing LLMs. Every instance of Claude is stateless and has no internal drives, instead of a single unified person.
Which matters because people keep "asking Claude" why "it" did something and "it" didn't.

The "all conservatism was always already Trumpist and fascist" line is ultimately a way to normalize Trump, and should be resisted.

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a convo she just had with Trump: "He said there are now five things in this SAVE America Act that he wants the House and Senate to pass. He said, 'No mail in ballots, no men in women's sports, and no transgender operations for youth.' He added those two."
Script if you need it:
I’m calling to tell Representative ____ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I don’t think trans people are controversial. (contin)
Hard Wired Island: Second Gig will finally be dropping on Kickstarter this month. More setting, more character options, more retrofuture cyberpunk. This time we've got scenarios set in The Distant Future Of 2025
HAZEL
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Dead soldiers aren't good #content
“Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. ‘I guess,’ he says.”
If you are a Costco customer, Trump stole your money and won’t give it back.

Not just a large-scale military conflict, but a large scale military conflict with the Parthians
Anthropic allegedly produced this and it’s useful because it shows 1) the gap between AI promise and reality is huge, 2) AI can’t actually automate everything in a given field, and 3) it’s actually most useful for coding compared to anything else.
The thing about Jessup is that he is a delusional coward who likes barking old chestnuts about abstractions like "honor" and "code," while it's the JAG lawyers and the enlisted marines who deal in the realities of what an operational military actually involves. So I see why these guys like him
The type of clip you see presented as an evidence at war crime trials.
Time is a flat circle
The US under 'antiwar' Trump has now also launched military operations in Ecuador too:
Yup, we fucking bombed the first-aid clinic set up in the immediate aftermath of the first bombing.

Probably not going to get the traction it deserves but it’s insane 1. Stephen Miller is giving dod press conferences and 2. explicitly saying the us policy towards the irgc will be war crimes
EXCLUSIVE: In an interview, Trump dismissed concerns about the Iran war and said the U.S. would help choose its next leader.
“Cuba’s going to fall, too," he told us.
“We cut off all oil, all money, or we cut off everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source."
CENTCOM pitches a short, glorious war to the president to get its revenge. (2026, colorized)
i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike
"Do not forget it, i can remove you from this transaction" goes so hard
If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.
