This week, Republicans released their big budget bill that aims to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act.
I analyzed every clean energy project that has been built since the IRA passed—3,570 in all.
The proposed budget bill would hurt Republican districts the most.

Tech bros sneering that everyone should “learn to code” only for them to unwittingly create the conditions of their own obsolescence while the philosophy majors inherit the earth would be a Shakespeare-tier tragicomedy. Hilarious were it not for the horrors, job loss, and so on.

The following majors are showing significantly worse employment prospects than Philosophy, according to the New York Fed: 1. Computer Science 2. Business Management 3. Chemistry 4. Computer Engineering 5. Information Systems 6. Public Policy and Law 7. Physics 8. Economics

Labour losing one of its safest seats shows what happens when a government cuts disability benefits and winter fuel payments, keeps the two-child benefit cap, and panders to anti-migrant rhetoric:
Reform wins and always will.
This isn’t the change people voted for and it shows.

Oops turns out in order to continue to force this technology no one wants on everyone we’re also going to have to vastly expand the surveillance state!

Sam Altman is here. Pitching World as the solution to “trust in the age of AGI.” Basic idea is that in a world of convincing bots, we’ll need unique biometric IDs (created by scanning eyeballs) to verify we’re talking to/gaming with/flirting with real people online.

First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out--
Because recent NYT/Ipsos polls show Trump +9 on immigration among noncollege men

Why are the staff of school districts showing more courage than the administrators of the wealthiest private universities in USA

Federal agents were denied entry at a pair of Los Angeles Unified School District schools this week. Homeland Security Investigations is under the Department of Homeland Security, ICE. It is unknown why the federal agents wanted access to the school. spectrumnews1.com/ca/southern-ca…

This thread is very astute: the scholars and intellectuals who predicted the rise of Trumpism were largely humanists with training in philosophy, history, etc. NOT quantitative social scientists. To use one of myriad examples, Richard Rorty had this pegged three decades ago.
Jason Blakely@jasonwblakely
If you look at who had early insight into MAGA they were either historians, philosophers & theorists (who all share humanistic historical training) or cultural critics & journalists outside the academy who aren't blinded by some big ahistorical wonkish theory or data mania

The critical minerals consensus—i.e. that some raw materials are so essential that all tactics, including war, are justified to obtain them—is hegemonic. The results could be deadly.
This consensus shuts down debate: Critical for whom, obtained at whose expense? My latest in @FT

"Who doubts that America is strong? But that’s not all America has to be."
Susan Sontag was mocked and maligned for her post-9-11 contribution to the New Yorker, but she's been proven prophetic

God, when I think of all the people who told me back then, "You don't know that. You don't know how this will turn out. It could be fine. It could be good for Iraq and good for us. We could spread democracy this way. You don't know."
The writing was always on the wall!!!

The fucked up thing is that in 2001 it was, or should have been, already clear that the so-called "War on Terror" would lead America to this godforsaken place we are in.

Back in 2020, when the Trump admin was disappearing people from US streets, a lot of us heard echoes of the dirtiest moments of US foreign policy. Now, Trump has disappeared a university student for his beliefs. The imperial boomerang is undeniable. newrepublic.com/article/158580…

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

From @jangelooff's reporting at the AP, the details of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil's arrest make it all even more disturbing: agents threatened to arrest his wife, an American citizen 8 months pregnant, and they don't even know where he's being held (link below)
