@ajzeigler Agreed. Wesley Hunt would have been good.

Talarico is not going to win. That said, Paxton is nauseating.

@MichaelARothman I saw an AP headline something about the checkup under health concerns. Lots of hateful comments on the post.

Some of you might be disappointed - for the rest of us, it puts a smile on our faces.

@MichaelARothman why is it so common to redact vowels in FB and Twitter posts?

She is an 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐪𝐢-𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐜 at Portland State University. PSU put her on paid administrative leave. President Ann Cudd called the video “𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦” and “𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦” in a campus-wide message (KOIN). The university opened an internal investigation. Per Hanoosh’s own complaint, that investigation 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. PSU — which had just publicly condemned her conduct — was now stuck paying her salary with no basis to discipline her. On May 14, 2026, PSU sent her one of 12 tenured-professor layoff notices, eliminating her position in June 2027 as part of a broader restructuring (OPB). Six days later, May 20, she filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court suing PSU and President Cudd for $𝟕 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 — discrimination, retaliation, hostile work environment, free speech, equal protection, and defamation (Willamette Week, OPB). Her defense for the H-m-s line is that it was “𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤” and “𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵”. An Iraqi-born professor of Arabic, on camera, outside a school board meeting in Oregon, says “𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘏-𝘮-𝘴.

@MichaelARothman Then he must answer: what is a female

His answer, on the record: “𝘈𝘯 𝘢𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯… 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯.” Read it twice. The head of the agency legally responsible for defending women’s rights in Australia gave the dictionary definition — 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 — and then in the same breath declared that 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨. The word “𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯” did all the heavy lifting, smuggling in the opposite of every entry in every dictionary ever printed. This is not a stray comment. The AHRC has spent the last two years using the Sex Discrimination Act against women. In 𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦 𝘷 𝘎𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴, the Commission intervened to help a transgender-identified male sue a women-only social media app for refusing him membership. The Federal Court agreed in 2024.

When the body built to protect women decides men are women, it has stopped protecting women. It has become the threat to them. Katherine Deves, the gender-critical lawyer who reshared the clip, put the verdict where it belongs: “𝘈𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥.

@Ric_RTP Untrue: they now only use LLM (aka AI) co pilot

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI. The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace. They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up: Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it. Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived. Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead. The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much. Uber's story is even worse... Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April. Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session. The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money. Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote: "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans. Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative. Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing: AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs. The stock market rewarded every company that said it. Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up. But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools. Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible. Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone. And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control. The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP. This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in. $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work. What do you think?

@MichaelARothman I was tempted to read the whole thing, but that would distract me from my goals

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐓 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐂𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐈𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 Try this. Put your phone in another room and read this whole piece without reaching for it. Feel that pull around the third paragraph — the itch to check something, anything? That itch isn't a flaw in you. It was installed. Somebody designed it, tested it, and got rich off it. We talk about screen time like it's a willpower problem, a little bad habit to white-knuckle away. It isn't. It's the largest, best-funded campaign in history to capture the one thing every human being has in exactly equal measure: the hours of your attention. Here's the heist, how it works, and how to get some of yourself back. 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 A researcher named Gloria Mark has measured human attention for almost twenty years. In 2004, the average person held focus on a single screen for about 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 before switching. Today? About 𝟒𝟕 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬. We have trained ourselves, or been trained, to flinch away from our own thoughts every three-quarters of a minute. The raw exposure is staggering. The average American now spends more than 𝐟𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐲 on a phone — not counting the TV, the laptop, the watch. Roughly 𝟖𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, before our feet hit the floor. We reach for it dozens of times a day, often once every few minutes of waking life, mostly without deciding to. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 Here's the cost that doesn't show up on a screen-time report. In 2016, Americans read about 𝟏𝟓.𝟔 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. By 2021 that had fallen to 𝟏𝟐.𝟔, and the share of people who read more than ten books a year dropped from 35% to 27%. In 2020, just 𝟔% 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 named reading as their favorite way to spend an evening — half the share from four years earlier. The deep, slow, sustained kind of attention that a book demands is going extinct, and we barely noticed it leave. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮: 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐲 This is the reframe that changes everything. Your distraction is not an accident and not a personal failing — it is a 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵, engineered by the most talented people of a generation and sold to advertisers by the hour. Don't take my word for it. Take Sean Parker, Facebook's founding president, who admitted the whole game out loud: the design question was 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦? The answer, he said, was to give you 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 — a like, a comment, a notification — a 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭-𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘱 that was 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺. His closing thought on what it does to kids: 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴. Or take Netflix's Reed Hastings, asked who his real competitor was. Not HBO. Not Disney. 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱, he said. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. That is the business model, stated plainly: your rest, your focus, your time on this earth are the inventory, and they intend to take all of it. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 Be fair, because the upside is gigantic. You carry the sum of human knowledge in your pocket. You can video your grandkids across an ocean, learn anything for free, run a business from a phone, summon a map, a doctor, a song, a ride. No one should pretend the smartphone is all curse. It is the most powerful tool ever handed to ordinary people. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 But a tool you command is one thing. A tool that commands 𝘺𝘰𝘶 is another. We didn't just gain a magic device — we surrendered the ability to be bored, to wait in a line, to sit with a hard problem, to finish a thought without a buzz pulling us out of it. The skill of paying deep attention is exactly the skill that builds a marriage, a craft, a faith, a mind. We are trading it away forty-seven seconds at a time, and getting outrage and ads in return. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 No conspiracy — just incentives, pointed at your head. 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭. When the app is free, you aren't the customer — you're the inventory being sold. The only number that matters is how many hours they hold you. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬. The brightest engineers and psychologists of a generation went to work, not on cancer or rockets, but on making a feed impossible to put down. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐮𝐞𝐬. No last page, no end of the reel. Infinite scroll and autoplay exist for one reason: so you never reach a natural moment to stop. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠. A child handed a tuned slot machine at age eight never develops the focus muscle in the first place. You can't lose what you were never allowed to build. 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟𝐟, 𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭? The honest yes: we are the most connected, informed, entertained people who have ever lived. The library of Alexandria fits in your hand, and it's a miracle we treat as Tuesday. The honest no: we are also the most distracted, and distraction is not a small thing. Your attention is not a productivity metric. It is the raw material of your entire life — every conversation, every memory, every moment you'll ever actually be present for. Spend it badly and you don't just lose time. You lose the life those hours would have been. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤-𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝.

The answer isn't to throw the phone in a lake and move to a cabin. It's to stop being the inventory. Take back enough of your attention to spend it on what you'd actually choose — on purpose, not by reflex. 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 — k!ll the notifications, gray out the screen, delete the two apps you open without thinking. A tool shouldn't tap you on the shoulder all day. 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 — no phone in bed, morning or night. Those two hours set the whole tone of a day and a mind. 𝐑𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 — read one real book. Sit through one boring stretch without reaching. Attention is a muscle, and it grows the second you stop letting it twitch. 𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 — phone in another room while you work, eat, or talk to someone you love. Distance is the whole battle. Keep the miracle in your pocket. Just stop letting it keep you.

During the Ellis Island era, roughly one out of every three immigrants were sent back to their homes. We pretend like America was always this place where anyone was welcome. That’s simply not true. Most were turned away or sent back after vetting for reasons among the following: -They were too sickly or had diseases -They arrived too poor to sustain themselves, and the fear was that they would be put on public subsidy. -They arrived as single mothers with children and no man to take care of them -They were too elderly or disabled to contribute to national production or productivity -They practiced family norms at odds with the American tradition (prostitution, polygamy) -They were contract laborers that would suppress agreed-upon wages in the American system -They did not come from a foreign nation that was under the approved quota umbrella -they were determined to have been imported for “immoral purposes” (sex, work, homosexuality, etc.) The standards were set on culture and ethnicity, not Creedal assent. The whole poem thing on the Statue of Liberty about the refuse of the Earth is completely fake left-wing propaganda. Nevertheless, even here, the people coming in were from Europe and had nothing to do with the Indians, Arabs, and Third World invaders that we are presently working to send back to their own homes.

@MarlowNYC His…house burned down

@MarlowNYC He's a lifelong Angeleno whose house burned down, you're an NYC media hack doing propaganda for the incumbent politicians whose negligent, harmful policies caused the fire. Enough of your petty attacks in defense of an unacceptable status quo.

My house burned down. I lost everything. I can’t rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I’ve had to move into my parents’ house, and I’m getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community…if you lose your entire town, “journalists” mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude?
