I’m experiencing an issue where Claude Code CLI loses its MCP configuration after upgrades (which happen frequently). I have similar problems with Goose and Cursor (though I rarely use Cursor anymore). MCPs feel incredibly powerful yet frustratingly fragile across these tools.

Has anyone found ways to make MCP setups more stable and easier to configure/maintain across different AI coding assistants?

What do you think? Are the failures of the current model of capitalism opening up more people to the idea of socialism or even communism?

Personally I think all of those labels, and fascism too, aren’t particularly useful in talking about the society we have or what we want, but it’s interesting to see how they’re shifting.

We can’t let the government impose KYC for all internet services they way they want for “child safety”

The internet archive is in danger of being killed by the copyright industry.

Chappell is right that both sides of American electoral politics are fucked. And there are good tactical reasons to vote for Kamala Harris.

But voting isn’t the only tool we have to change things. We can do a thousand things, we can organize and build power that forces change. The election is what happens at the end after we’ve done the work and changed politics.

While not done, the new protest.net site is online. The goal is to create a space for activists and organizers to build movements on top of a censorship resistant open decentralized protocol, nostr.

The amazing folks at @ProPublica have published 14 hours of leaked training videos that are a previously unreleased part of Project 2025. It’s a weird combination of boring infomercial meets handmaid’s tale.

Republicans want polluters to regulate themselves

Trump's Project 2025 has a whole 27-page chapter on creating a “conservative Environmental Protection Agency” with suggestions that will fix “an agency that has long been amenable to being coopted by the Left for political ends” (p. 417)

One plan that stands out is to let companies that caused the pollution on a Superfund site to be in charge of cleaning it up. They call this company the "Potentially Responsible Party."

Quoting Project 2025:

To execute more efficient and effective cleanups, the following changes are needed in the Office of Superfund Remediation and Technology Innovation (OSRTI): Allow PRPs (“Potentially Responsible Parties”) to perform the statutorily required five-year reviews of Superfund cleanups to free OLEM (Office of Land and Emergency Management) resources.

Project 2025, page 431

Superfund sites are places like factories, landfills, and mines where hazardous waste has been mishandled. The cleanup process involves figuring out how bad the contamination is, planning how to fix it, and then doing the actual cleanup to make the area safe for people and the environment again. You might think that the person who was responsible for contaminating the site might not be the best judge for whether or not it’s safe for people again.
