It’s so telling that this is the exact dehumanizing shtick he trots out for the autistic, as eugenics, like fascism itself, must construct an Increasingly narrow hierarchy.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

There is blatant voter suppression happening right now in Brazil: flights cancelled and buses suspended to Northeastern capitals where Lula holds the majority, polling stations changed to thousands of kms away last-minute, voters in London told they need to go to Edinburgh… This is criminal.

Get in loser, we’re speed running education reform failures, again. MOOCs, Vouchers, and Charters didn’t work but this also won’t.
My deep dive on the "A.I.-driven" Alpha School, revealing their internal learning and enrollment data for the first time, just as the network expands into public education. There is a big gap between the marketing and reality. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...
Digger “expresses an extraordinary amount of open contempt for itself and its audience [that believes] our crisis will be resolved on our screens… [Thus] satire loses everything that makes it distinct as a mode of fiction, though that’s not to say that it loses all of its value as art…“
Incredible work here from Osita Nwanevu

The Palestinians routinely victimized by settlers should be no less important but it’s hard to miss here that the photojournalist a bunch of them savagely beat is named Heidi Levine — almost certainly an American Jew. The story says she’s a 64 years old woman Staggering levels of impunity
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians harvesting olives and severely beat Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine.

raise revenue and undercut right-populism with One Weird Trick (capitalists HATE this)
New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Leo Marx’s essay on technology as a hazardous concept might be one of those things I never stop thinking about
In the face of criticism, Tim Flock deploys the old "we shouldn't pause progress" canard — because in Silicon Valley brain poisoned culture, any widget with a microchip in it is automatically "progress" and anyone who doesn't think every such widget is good hates all progress

Holy shit FOUR members of the ethics committee in Denmark that gave the green light to allow the widely-condemned RFK Jr-funded trial to proceed in Guinea-Bissau have now resigned in protest This quote is 🔥 Great reporting by @melodyschreiber.com www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

Children and civilians who never served in the IDF were killed during 10/7, many at a music festival promoting peace. Also worth mentioning that not every Israeli serves or that there are former IDF soldiers who are now activists against apartheid and mass atrocities. @breakthesiience.bsky.social

WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.
BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge has ruled DHS violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment when it removed Ahmed Soliman to Equatorial Guinea and must facilitate his return to the US. prospect.org/2026/10/07/f...
This shit reads so oddly. Describes a new plane as “nearly for years old” and abruptly says the first officer “launched the attack” on the other pilot like that’s not insane. yeah man, “the attack,” of course. Then says later the drop isn’t clear without pointing out perspective change?

it’s genuinely fascinating how establishment democratic politics in big cities has become so ossified and incompetent that they’ve created a huge lane for the left to embrace good government reforms and build a broad coalition of socialists and technocrats
