The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

" #AtlasNetwork conceals its partners or β€˜thinktanks’, which in turn hide their support for fake β€˜β€™grass roots organisations’. Their focus is on undermining Climate Science, spreading #Misinformation about renewable energy and reducing the rights of indigenous peoples, trade unions and workers."

My entire journalistic career, editors & owners & bosses told me again & again that my stuff was too long, too in-depth, too wonky, no one would read it.

Again & again, readers flocked to the longer, wonkier pieces, passed them around, wrote me to thank me for them, cited them years later.

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.

#FascistFluffers think they can just move on from fluffing. I think they'll find they can't.

Supporting #Fascism is accepting the killing of clients as a price for business. That's #Evil.

Never Forgive. Never Forget. Hunt them forever. For never again.

It's absolute contrition or corporate death

Personally, I find these comparisons a bit grand, and am skeptical that A.I. will bring about two hundred years’ worth of economic and cultural transformation in just a couple of decades, as Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, who is among Silicon Valley’s more careful C.E.O.-prognosticators, has suggested it might. But I also don’t know that slowing the rate of data center construction will stop A.I. from introducing machine hallucinations into the conduct of war; from destabilizing employment patterns by bringing about widespread layoffs, and contorting surviving kinds of work, too; from polluting the internet with slop; from interfering with education; from making dating an exchange between chatbots; and from turning what we call writing into something extruded by prompting, and moviemaking or music into things done entirely within a machine.

Pretty disappointing and weird piece from @dwallacewells.bsky.social here dismissing opposition to data centres in the US as hollow "NIMBYISM" or at best a second-order reflection of anxieties about AI

No chance communities have reasonable concerns, not possible.
