I don't think that US hegemony will disappear quickly, because alternatives will be slow to step up, if at all (it's expensive, for one thing), but there will definitely be changes that I don't think most Americans are prepared for.

I'm definitely supporting Ron Davis for the state's best LD!

I don’t know what mysterious spark Frankenformed into @theneedling.com when it got sprayed off the gum wall, but I am glad it attained sentience and decided to haunt us. This magnificent many-headed monster has a Venmo and a patreon: love it with me.

I said this a while ago but it bears repeating:

This is what the political scientist Mark Copelovitch has been arguing here on Bluesky: US hegemony will continue in some form because everyone's bought in and it's too costly to them to buy out. China, the EU, etc., would have to do a lot that they aren't currently willing to do.
