BREAKING: 🇨🇳 President of China, Xi Jinping: “A certain country, obsessed with maintaining its hegemony, has done everything possible to cripple emerging markets and developing nations. Whoever progresses rapidly becomes a target of containment; whoever catches up becomes a threat. But all of this is futile. The world we live in today is a community with a shared future. People do not want a new Cold War; they want a world of lasting peace and universal security."

I can't imagine punishing the most vulnerable children because you had a spat with another adult. Utterly psychic levels of megalomania.

NEW: Chicago Progressive Partnership super PAC, which launched ads attacking Kat Abughazaleh and then eventually in favor of Bushra Amiwala as an apparent attempt to split the vote, has filed its FEC report, which reveals it was another shell group for AIPAC and its allies

U.S. Automakers: “Americans don’t want inexpensive EVs. We’re cutting our losses and stopping all plans for future EV development.” Also U.S. Automakers: “If we allow China to sell inexpensive EVs here, we’ll go out of business because Americans will buy those instead!”

Breaking: Inflation is good for profits because companies can raise prices with impunity, well in excess of any actual cost increase.

Steyer is fine, but we would've been infinitely better served if he had used those billions to buy up media outlets like conservatives do, instead of becoming governor.

Khanna: They’re saying this technology is going to be bigger than nuclear, bigger than electricity, bigger than aviation. Last I checked, we have an FAA for aviation, nuclear energy is regulated, and electricity is regulated.  So you’re telling me on one hand that this is going to be bigger, and then you’re saying you don’t want any regulation. I mean, it makes no sense.

@d_h_sanders It's so weird! I'm going to have to update my priors that I don't understand humans at all

I used to say if people saw Trump do 10,000 bad things, him doing 10,001 bad things wouldn’t change their minds, but maybe so?

1. If approved by the Court, this class action settlement with John Deere will be a catastrophe for farmers and for the broader right-to-repair movement. It will sacrifice the legal rights of hundreds of thousands of farmers for a pittance in damages and a mandate for John Deere to provide repair materials that is riddled with loopholes and, I believe, will ultimately accomplish nothing. For starters, let’s talk about the damages. The repair restrictions by John Deere have been estimated to cost farmers $4.2 billion per year. This lawsuit priginally sought damages suffered by farmers as a result of John Deere’s illegal conduct over the FIVE years before the date of suit. That’s an estimated $21 billion in damages. This settlement gets farmers just $99 million — before attorneys fees are taken out. You do the math. But what makes this settlement truly abhorrent is that it purports to solve the right-to-repair problem, when in reality it gives John Deere MULTIPLE LOOPHOLES through which to keep infringing on farmers’ rights to repair their own equipment and profit from that infringement *at the exact same scale* it’s doing so right now. Let’s talk about it. Here are just five of those loopholes.🧵

@LukewSavage Kant says that we experience the sublime when we are confronted with someone so awesome it overwhelms, yet through reason we can consider even infinity as a whole thus overcome it. Surely this the feeling a young person moving the First Contact box in and out of the light.

As a kid I had a VHS version of this with a holographic cover that would put Borg implants on their faces when it caught the light.

@LukewSavage the word for that is "art"

@jacobin NYT Opinion is left of NYT News?

Imagine building an entire media bias rating system and then giving Jacobin the same score as The New York Times opinion section and MSNBC.
