AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers Software and customer service are most at risk right now and could be the canary in the coal mine.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

If 'you' didn't "hold on to the people in the tent", then by definition they aren't in the tent. You made the tent smaller, so you lose. It doesn't matter who is in the tent, as long as you win. It's about power, not justice.

Musk, Trump Establish New Era of Kleptocracy in America A third dispatch comparing how the US media would cover this moment if it was happening overseas

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy. Overseas our media would not hesitate to call what we’re living through a full-blown autocratic coup. Here's my attempt at the story they should write: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

American propaganda during World War II - Wikipedia

Those of you who are PR or media/social media professionals should already have spun up your anti-AgentOrange propaganda campaigns. Fight fire with fire. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Allegory alert!

You should get a library card if you don’t have one already. Then get the apps Libby and Hoopla. There you can download audiobooks and ebooks. So even if you don’t go to your local library a lot, you can still support them and the authors you love.

A Secretary of Defense who knew what he was doing would have read that speech before he gave it and then made sure to coordinate with the White House and NSC before reversing some 80 years of U.S. policy and leaving Europe in the lurch while the biggest war since the 1945 was underway.

Everyone should stop going to Russia. Presume private corporate risk management firms and insurers are very clear about this.

@senatordawngile.bsky.social When will you introduce legislation mandating a four day work week in Maryland? Look into it. It works.

This traditional reason for hyping Smoot-Hawley will, of course, be complicated by the fact that featly to Trump means that the people most likely to go this route are now obliged to say that tariffs are good, plus we have always been at war with Eastasia 5/

I'm having doubts about how far Trump will actually go on tariffs once he realizes that other countries can hit back. But if he did go through with his campaign pledges, it would be a bigger hit than Smoot-Hawley, which caused the Great Depression. Except it didn't 1/

Excellent point! Thank you.
