There was an awkward but amusing moment when Stephen Colbert seriously stated that CNN was “objective” and “just reports the news as it is,” prompting his own audience to laugh hysterically at the notion when they weren’t supposed to.
The incident occurred during Colbert’s interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, who has repeatedly betrayed her anti-Trump bias, including infamously during a town hall event she hosted with Trump last year.

Businesses are declaring bankruptcy at a much faster rate than they did last year. Thousands upon thousands of once thriving businesses are failing, but this just must be another sign that the economy is “fine”. No matter how bad the numbers get, we are assured that the people running things have everything under control and that the outlook for the future is wonderful. Of course I understand that this is an election year and virtually everyone is trying to put their own unique spin on things. But there is no possible way that you can make numbers like these look good…

The New York Times reports that the federal government is accelerating the naturalization of illegal immigrants in America as part of a process of “reshaping the electorate” before the election this November.
“The federal government is processing citizenship requests at the fastest clip in a decade, moving rapidly through a backlog that built up during the Trump administration and the coronavirus pandemic,” reports the newspaper.

The attack on the Kursk region of Russia by Ukrainian forces is being hailed by War Hawks as a possible turning point in the war, one which exposes Russian weaknesses and the importance of resupplying Ukraine with more military aid. However, it more closely resembles two campaigns by a desperate Hitler’s forces, the Battle of Kursk in July 1943 and the Battle of the Bulge, ending on January 25, 1944, during which it became evident that the allies would soon be victorious. The positive spin on Ukraine is designed to inspire western countries to continue backing NATO’s proxy war — with devastating consequences for the people of Ukraine. For a dialogue among military professionals and political activists on ending the proxy war in Ukraine, use the link to watch the dialogue from last Friday’s International Peace Coalition Zoom call, linked here:

Drone attack on Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Station causes massive fire to plant’s cooling system; what is Ukraine trying to accomplish here?
Now we have Part 2 of Ukraine trying to create mass chaos in the world and provoke World War III on behalf of its sponsor, the United States of America — this time by shelling a nuclear power station operated by Russia. (Part 1 was filed earlier today providing details of a cross-border invasion of Russia in which the Ukrainian military appears to have targeted civilians in a terrorist attack reminiscent of October 7 in Israel.)

Mimicry of intelligence isn’t intelligence, and so while AI mimicry is a powerful tool, it isn’t intelligent.
The mythology of Technology has a special altar for AI, artificial intelligence, which is reverently worshiped as the source of astonishing cost reductions (as human labor is replaced by AI) and the limitless expansion of consumption and profits. AI is the blissful perfection of technology’s natural advance to ever greater powers.
The consensus holds that the advance of AI will lead to a utopia of essentially limitless control of Nature and a cornucopia of leisure and abundance.

Walter Kirn, an American novelist and cultural critic, in his 2009 memoir, Lost in the Meritocracy, described how, after a sojourn at Oxford, he came to be a member of ‘the class that runs things’ – the one that “writes the headlines, and the stories under them”. It was the account of a middle-class kid from Minnesota trying desperately to fit into the élite world, and then to his surprise, realising that he didn’t want to fit in at all.
Now 61, Kirn has a newsletter on Substack and co-hosts a lively podcast devoted in large part to critiquing ‘establishment liberalism’. His contrarian drift has made him more vocal about his distrust of élite institutions – as he wrote in 2022:
