Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

If you've not previously read in on Asif Aziz and Criterion Capital's influence on London, here's some of our reporting from the last year. There's many, many more stories in the works on his business activities and role in the capital. Any tips appreciated. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

This post is the single best advert for the fact that proper local journalism matters.
If Jim’s team hadn’t put the pieces together quickly, this wouldn’t have been stopped.

The AI That Wrote a Hit Piece When It Didn’t Get It's Way When an AI agent targeted an open source maintainer with a personalised reputation attack, it revealed a threat that PR, hiring and publishing professionals need to understand now.

This via @alphaville.ft.com is a staggering tale - a prelude to much more of this? www.themediastack.co.uk/p/the-ai-tha...

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

This is super interesting.

The last one I can read fluently is 1600.

I can then still read it and figure out (almost) every word, with some puzzling, but then lose it almost completely at 1200.

Quote questioning whether excessive financialisation of the Renaissance Florentine economy contributed to its downfall - as many individuals chose finance instead of wool, silk trades etc which were the original origin of wealth.

Wonder how much this is a drag on productivity b/c effort of pushing - for promotion/higher pay/more challenge, just feels Sisyphean?

Well balanced BBC piece featuring people who think rent controls are a 'good thing', based on vibes, and those who know they are not, based on evidence... πŸ€“

Yes, It’s Fascism Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.
