Before the interstate was extended, I drove through this area many times on my way north. It always seemed like the land that time forgot. prospect.org/justice/2025...

Closest I could think of was Albert Gallatin, who was raised in Geneva in the Reformed church.
AI much? Even if you fix the weirdest stuff in this painting, it still doesn’t make sense.
Hey. I don’t know if you were all here for this but there was a meeting of Online years back where it was decided that medically diagnosing strangers on the internet is not good. Thank you.
100% true.
It is 200 years ago and Donald Trump, new prime minister of England, declares his government will do everything possible to subsidize canals and impede building of railroads so England can attain transportation dominance.
These fool little boys are complaining that their lives are over because they don't have a girlfriend by 19 or 20. That's called being a late bloomer, babes. But if you keep on like this, you'll never bloom at all. Not if being alone seems better than suffering your company.
Looks like Ai is not doing so well now. Go away now, you AI people. You’ve done enough damage. www.businessinsider.com/why-ai-bubbl...

I couldn't read enough of it to figure out if it was satire. Can Grok help me with that?
A critical point. Educational systems have to be a big part of it: being taught for years that success means “fulfilling the rubric” leaves you with little capacity or desire for the hard work of independent thinking
The Trump regime is waging war on all of human civilization and on the planet we all share and have a sacred duty to preserve and protect. The only right answer to such self-destructive insanity is: NO!!!!!!!!!! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/c...
Even if he declines into a clearly incapacitated condition he will pull a Woodrow Wilson and refuse to hand governing power to JDV. And his handlers sure as he'll won't make that call to Vance.
We await your review.
I, too, have my issues with UPMC. However...
I had a good experience with it when I used it. But, full disclosure, last time I used it was 2020 (retired since then then).

Damn almost as if they want to, I dunno, cancel Cracker Barrel.
I don't want my students to use a mediocre thought-replacement machine that makes them stupid and lazy while destroying the planet and giving technofascists more power. I'd rather they learn to think critically.
The U.S. sometimes seems modernistic, flashy, technologically futuristic. In truth, it’s actually pessimistic, regressive, & in defense of capitalism’s past. Every day we defend the past pessimism that “It won’t work” to do things Europe, Japan, S Korea have successfully done for decades.
Do your employers know you work in a kitchen?
Traveled through there in 1974, and ended up in a monster train wreck. I returned to what was left of Yugoslavia in 2005, which was just the disintegrating "union" of Serbia and Montenegro. I taught at the Filosofski Fakultet in Niksic.

Maybe we have found the key to the birth rate decline. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/w...
Yes. I keep wondering, what pressing problem was Ai supposed to address? Who asked for f#cking Ai ?
That is hilarious.
This admin is a cornucopia of right wing fever dreams.
This decline isn't new. But this now looks like a crisis.

Right? When I first traveled to Europe, in the 1970s, peanut butter was nowhere to be found (admittedly, I wasn't doing a survey). I just took for granted it was a part of US cuisine that wouldn't work elsewhere.
I admit, I found this surprising. share.google/Znftt1ErCQL1...
DJT relentless in his quest to hand over the future of energy to China.
Just imagine a world where there was no more need for genocide memorials.
No matter what our Academic, Business, Media, Political Elites tell US (both explicitly & implicitly with their collaboration): fascism is super unpopular (and terrible for US).
They range from good to fabulous.
Okay, you can stop now. This one wins the internet.

David Graeber with the best take on deregulation. Markets are all created to some extent by Govt regulation. They set the rules of profit extraction. Deregulation isn't a step back, but a change to who they've decided to reward
Yes, the ultra-crackpots have control. We are all in the Poe story where the mentally deranged have taken control of the asylum. The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.

“It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.” Aldous Huxley, born on this day in 1894
@lefigaro.fr why are you publishing large pictures of this blatherskite and translating his balderdash?
Current status of U. S. A.
The House Ethics Committee flagged AOC for not paying full price for a Met Gala ticket—scandalous! Meanwhile, Rep. Mike Kelly’s wife trades stocks on insider info, but sure, nothing to see there. One gets headlines for a dress, the other gets a pass. Classic. news.yahoo.com/articles/hou...
Really, though, it is more of a concept of a plan.
This admin mentally stuck in 1973 when the country that produces the most oil wins.
Sorry to see this.
"In such a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, not to be on the side of the executioners." - Albert Camus
Plano is in which borough?
I'm going to hunt for Llama Karma on YouTube.
Because there isn't one. There are many. The text I wrote to go with this map in Nonstop Metropolis: A New York City Atlas.
Russia exports their assassins as well. I'd avoid all out-door eateries even park benches would be my advice to her Note: Russian Assassinations in the UK: Inside Three Notorious Cases with Historian Nigel West www.bing.com/videos/river...
Well deserved.
If she visits Russia, she'd have to avoid all windows above the 2nd floor.
Elite power is entering into a feeding frenzy, grasping for direct control over that which they've on previously only been able to indirectly influence. That type of maximalist approach can result in real short-term gains, but it risks giving up the whole system of control for a few bites more.
Okay news cycle. You are drunk. Go to bed.
England literally re-wrote the Bible to give a different version to black slaves.
UNESCO was founded in 1945 & headquartered in Paris to promote global peace through arts, education & science. Today, the USA abandoned its commitment to defending global culture, claiming that the UN's program to maintain environment is 'woke' & because UNESCO accepts Palestinian membership.

Melania Trump is older than Kristi Noem.
This MAGA energy policy has completely abdicated our energy future because solar will prevail and, thanks to DJT, that means China will dominate. But, good news, we're winning the past. We will TOTALLY dominate the 20th century.
Sorry for random meme but this seemed too good not to share.
I love how Epstein is Trump's Jacob Marley
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937
Evangelicals love Jews, but their ideal is Jews minus Judaism.
None of the rebellion-against-fascist-government fiction I consumed prepared me for having the world’s most incompetent buffoons bopping around terrorizing people, while whining about it on social media.
In so many areas we are allowing China to race past us and widen their leads as we reorient our economy under Trump to an 1890s model.
Unfortunately, he had real talent for finding opportunities that never amounted to anything.
the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

They seem no longer to have any principles.
We should start one of those response threads, where we ask people to quote skeet with their worst medical conditions while traveling.
I think I've been close to death a couple times while traveling. Since I didn't die I can't be certain. But it is definitely a time when you feel like there is no net.
That sucks. My equivalent was a 3 or 4 hour train ride Nanjing to Beijing, nursing some kind of stomach issue, sitting in the middle of a car filled with an elementary school field trip. Two of the livelier travelers sat behind me.
The same, but more.
Yes!

What kind of cruelty compels so called public servants to take healthcare from their constituents?
This is so deranged there should be 24/7 coming erage and investigtions. MAGA cult so far gone they are just making up any kind of shite to fill the air space when cameras are rolling.
I endorse this endorsement.
Talk about going deep undercover.
It helps those who need no help. It helps those who should be working hard for the most vulnerable.

Perhaps the rapid acceptance of AI info and summaries is because most people are not very adept at getting info from thr www. Look at how many completely specious ideas and memes go viral when 90 seconds of search would show they are bogus.

Those slips of paper that prove citizenship or give a right to travel to certain places matter. They saved many lives before and during WWII. When a gov't wants to take them away, it does that so it can do terrible things.
They really dress for their roles. Remember when Obama wore a tan suit?
China now dominates in renewable energy, far ahead of the U. S. Meantime, Trump admin has pointed the U. S. backward, toward oil and V-8s, the energy and technology of the past. Not only are we losing the race, we're running in the other direction. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
