His cash-in book on the pandemic, Revenge of the Real, is terrible - except for the takedown of Agamben.

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work*
Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!
We found the foreign interference. Europe should be paying attention.
The official policy of the US is regime change in Europe. Supporting Orban is the most public manifestation of that policy in practice.

And Israel has also attacked an Iranian oil depot this morning. We already know Netanyahu’s attitude to ceasefires from Gaza…
Critically, the First International Conference on the Just Transition Away from Fossil Fuels will be governed by majority rule, thus preventing a handful of countries from sabotaging progress as petrostates did at Cop30.

Well, at least Trump is not going to annihilate Iran today.
Israel was never a party to the ceasefire. They are just continuing their attacks...
The problem with Bratton is very simple and very common amongst white, male academics of a certain type: he does not believe anyone else is as smart as him.
PS: #Trump & #Netanyahu 's war of aggression has absolutely strengthened the Iranian regime within #Iran, and widened the split in the Iranian exiled opposition movement making that a gulf that may be unbridgeable. In so many ways, the stupidest, most selfish, narcissistic war...
We have a temporary reprieve, but do not think that this excuses (or lifts) the threat of genocide, and remember that Israel will probably continue its own campaign...
And Americans - you need to get rid of this regime ASAP.
Bret Stephens is the very definition of the useful idiot.
Members of the Iranian Jewish community inspect what is left of their synagogue in Tehran after Israel bombed it. On Passover...
I have DM'd you.
No, they have not. You really have to get this right. Iranian monarchists (mostly in North America) have backed this war of aggression. The Iranian left and feminist opposition (mostly in Europe) absolutely has not. And Iran International is a Mossad-funded operation…
“Surveillance is the tip of the policing knife. ALPRs and Flock are used to facilitate mass deportations. They are used to criminalize sex workers and expand the presumption of guilt.”
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
Even if he doesn’t drop a single bomb, the threat itself is violence.
Iranians are walking around terrified today. It’s emotional warfare. I can’t imagine many things more cruel than giving someone a countdown clock to their death.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”
Finally, don’t fall into the trap of assuming that Iranians have no agency and are just dupes of either the regime or Mossad. Iranians are used to being under attack. Just as Iranian women stood for Woman, Life, Freedom, Iranians are standing up against the direct threat to their civilization.
It would be mass murder. Combined with Trump’s threats to annihilate Iranian civilization, it would constitute a clear case of genocide.
NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

And the Iranian regime has been as much a pernicious influence on regional politics as Israel or Saudi Arabia (or Russia, UK, France and the USA). But none of this changes the duties and prohibitions of International Law. None of the people of any of these countries are ‘animals’ or deserve death.
Look, genocide, crimes against humanity etc. are wrong in themselves, not because the claimed targets are pure and good. You shouldn’t whitewash the Iranian regime. They have also committed unspeakable crimes against ordinary Iranians, who are also the victims of the USA and Israel’s illegal war.
I know people are desperate for some kind of Trump presidency off-ramp but I'm afraid we're in "Downfall"/Fürhrer bunker territory at this point. The people around him have tied their fate to his. The notion that any of his people will move against him re: 25th amendment is magical thinking.
EXCLUSIVE: 54% of Canadians agree with banning citizens from serving in the Israeli military, according to a new poll commissioned by The Maple.

Reports circulating that regime forces are driving through Iranian cities with loud speakers telling citizens to gather around infrastructure.
