Tech companies sell a myth of AI as a creative mind, a romantic companion. Things it can't be. Why? It’s propaganda. Because a useful, limited tool isn’t profitable enough for billionaires. In this Next Comes What, Andrea Pitzer explains why we don’t have to accept it.

" Coming together in public keeps people with less power from being picked off in isolation and their demands ignored."

We can't afford what now because of your unwinnable war?

I was looking for a video on why Trump hates Cornyn, and Paxton put it together for an attack ad. It's the most banal shit possible with a horror soundtrack. It's all just decent wishful thinking. John Cornyn was destroyed for seven or eight of the only decent things ever said.

"The malicious fools who captured the US government have tipped the world into madness." Got permission to post this "where we're at now" summary that opens this week's Next Comes What by Andrea Pitzer. A good time capsule to compare the update I'll have to make Thurs AM. pod.link/1779885475

Would Bernays work for Trump? Probably ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But here's a free one on building a coalition to win the war in Iran.

I didn't know that Earl Warren used sending Japanese Americans to concentration camps to help with the governorship. And it has me thinking that people can change, but only if the incentives do.

I hate to admit it, but Benny Johnson is doing camp at levels heretofore unseen in American politics. J. Edgar wouldn't even do this in private.

Trumpism runs on the nuclear fusion of guilt into accusation. Blanche shut the Epstein files. The Russia files never close. This is by design and by necessity — not to find truth but to produce equivalence, to make accountability itself seem like persecution.

Kylie Minogue’s doc series KYLIE on #Netflix shows the world her towering stage presence & indomitable spirit. She discusses how music saved her in dark times & seeing her rediscover her lyrics to “No More Rain” (her song that got me through my mom’s death) had me sobbing. 💙

Nothing says "stable admin" like Melania dropping an Epstein statement while we’re debating war crimes. It’s a very “smert” PR move: using old ghosts to mask the new body bags. The "dead cat" strategy is working overtime today. Pedo or war criminal? Or both?

The term “genocide” is a political slogan, not a proven legal judgment. The International Court of Justice has not declared Israel guilty of genocide, and no credible tribunal has issued such a verdict. The ICJ, World Court in The Hague, did not decide that the claim of genocide is plausible.

Israeli Gestapo beating Orthodox Jews who oppose Netanyahu's wars. Israel is having a hard time getting their own citizens to join the IDF. They're now using AIPAC-paid US congress members to pass a bill that could require US citizens to fight for the IDF. More info below
