I appreciate how the host let her speak without cutting her off with a patronizing dismissal.

The one good thing Biden did in office was appoint Lina Khan as FTC chair. The first thing Harris will do if elected is replace her at the bidding of the billionaire class who have been threatening to pull support because she has actually been doing her job enforcing antitrust violations.

I don’t think those should be considered treats. Treats attempt to hijack the rewarding sense of satisfaction we get from engaging in those activities by intensifying the pleasure with instantly gratifying substitutes.

Imagine telling a liberal in 2008 that the DNC would be using an endorsement from the Cheneys as a campaign strategy for their 2024 candidate. It would sound absurd beyond reason. And yet, here we are.

Our entire economy is being propped up by the AI grift now. 8 of the 10 largest companies by market cap are either spending all of their CapEx on training AI or selling the hardware necessary to do it (the only exceptions are Saudi Aramco and Berkshire Hathaway). This is just an insane funneling of money into one industry that can only result in one of two outcomes- 1. AGI is achieved and whoever wields it will have godlike power or 2. there is a market crash the likes of which we have never seen before. Guess which is more likely.

That Harris/Cheney billboard is a stroke of genius, especially given its target audience of Dearborn residents. The Trump campaign has been a bit unfocused and lost ever since Biden was replaced but this is a masterclass in trolling. And it highlights how inept the Democrats are with their messaging in those key rust belt states.

How do I view a book with the tilted perspective in your screenshot? It’s only showing flat pages for me.

Notice how her emphasis is on “bringing the hostages home” and not one word of sympathy for Gazans suffering an actual genocide with the help of her administration.
