I have this feeling that there is a very large overlap in the Venn diagram of people who wouldn't wear masks during the early stages of covid because they said they "couldn't breath" and the people now wearing them as ICE agents and breathing just fine as they terrorize the U.S.A.

The threat of AI isn’t it’s Additive Information, it’s that it’s a much more powerful form of ‘info-ruption’ that separates people, groups, creative process and more

State of the world.

People sympathetic to Postmodernism, Social Construction and Pluralism insisting on historical facts.

People professing that there is a single true version of reality deliberately suppressing historical facts, and making stuff up.

In 1945, near the end of the war, the Soviet Union launched Operation Whirlwind (Operatsiya Uragan) to rapidly seize control of Budapest, Hungary. It was a fast, brutal campaign designed to overwhelm the defenders with speed, chaos, and overwhelming force before they could organize resistance.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

We all just underwent what I've been calling America's Three Slow Revolutions—and you lost. It's a post-revolution America and it's time to start figuring out how to navigate it.

Olive for POTUS!

Judge John J. McConnell Jr. of the Federal District Court for the District of Rhode Island extended an order preventing the Trump administration from withholding billions in congressionally approved funds to 22 states and the District of Columbia.

The transition from the Information Economy to the Attention Economy has switched people from creating/organizing information (active) to reacting to multi-modal experiences (passive). It further mediates and disconnects people's lives, and straight up just wears people down.

It's also the transition between:

Information Economy of the 80s-10s //
Cable + Early Internet //
Identity + Opinion Over Everything via content values (active)

Attention Economy of the 10s-20s //
Social + Algorithms //
Disorganized Attention via multi-modal experience (passive)

A great way to honor Women’s History Month would be to start fighting back against the misogynistic fascists in the White House.

With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Elon staffers are using private emails, violating federal law.

Billionaires Should Not Exist Yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.
