The Revolution will be AI-icized
I DON'T NEED TO SEE THE TOE SUCKING VIDEO ANY MORE THANK YOU
I heard my friend Dan here give a remarkable brief talk about this last month. Thankfully, he’s written it up at length to share.
In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Contrary to the Internet (which usually is never wrong), I am NOT writing for Mike Flanagan's DARK TOWER.
Mass turtle nesting underway in Odisha, India
One nice thing about foraging compared to other hobbies is that no one spends $10,000 on stuff for it
Making a mental list of podcasters I'd rather have as deputy director of the FBI
A British-Egyptian team has made one of the most significant Egyptian archeological finds in recent history: the tomb of pharaoh King Thutmose II, who ruled sometime between 2000 and 1001 BCE. This is the first tomb of a pharaoh unearthed since Tutankhamun’s in 1922.
Winners in the Building at the SAG Awards last night! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Cloud nine.
Can’t believe this guy is Deputy Director of the FBI now

The thing is, when we had high marginal tax rates on the rich, the rich still had yachts and second and third houses and fancy vacations and really good schools for their kids, so, yes, I think most people who are really very rich would do just fine, and the rest of the US would do better than now.
You are a beneficiary of Republican tax cuts then? How would you feel about bringing the 94% tax rates on the rich, back again? I understand in today's dollars, the 94% will kick in above $3 million a year. Could you maintain your lifestyle on $3 million a year? Could Musk?

Gentle reminder of how to get rich. (Hint: *slowly*)
I know it is small potatoes, but I have an order stuck in customs from AliExpress since February 8th. 🙄
Typically good thread/summary by Mark, showing again that first, most SCOTUS cases are not about the huge issues that get attention, and second, perhaps because of that, the Court sometimes divides in unexpected ways.
No new grants—but a lot of action—on the Supreme Court's orders list today. First, Thomas renews his call to overturn the Feres doctrine, which bars servicemembers from suing the government over injuries "incidental" to their service. (I think he's right.) www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

getting increasingly difficult to imagine severance ending in something other than a hamlet-like finale
