7/ During a decade in which the USA's favorite β€œtech critics” were busy shining the shoes of people like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, Borsook saw very clearly where things were headed. Because these things were obvious by the late 90s, at least to journalists like Borsook.

Over the weekend, we wrote about how dozens of judges have found ICE's new detention policy β€” seeking to lock up millions of people facing deportation without a chance for bond β€” is illegal.

Last night, four more judges added to the growing list: www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Oh I rubbed salt, pepper, and smoked paprika over the ribs the day before. The sauce was just commercial stuff this time. Bullseye Guinness.

Hillary Clinton Sees a Dangerous Moment for Women’s Rights, and Democracy

We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world.

I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures.

Based on these studies, comparisons, and citizen input, a clear vision emerged to transform Midosuji from a car-first thoroughfare to a people-first destination. By the time the Expo began in April, the city's showcase streetscape had become not only beautiful, but functional and safe for all users.

A totalitarian movement must never achieve its goals, as that would eliminate the need for the movement itself. Even in victory, new enemies must be created in order to justify further cruelty and domination.

Canada's parliament started the week giving a standing O for free speech and the memory of Charlie Kirk.
They ended it by joining Orban's Hungary and Trump's America in targeting @kneecapceol.bsky.social an Irish hip hop group for challenging the genocide.
Not our finest hour.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

The β€œcomedians” who refuse to punch up at the powerful are not funny, they’re just bullies.

The Nation

We should also support the magazine, The Nation. It is One of America’s oldest and most important magazines from a liberal / prospective. It is highly likely to be targeted by the Trump Regime. @thenation.com

I don’t get it.
Does he have something on everyone?
Are some people just existing in a bubble?
Is it that some folk are just stupid?
All of the above?
(It’s all of the above, isn’t it?)

This was extortion. FCC Chair Carr threatened broadcast licenses for things regime disapproved. Nextstar, the largest US owner of broadcast stations, notified ABC it wouldn't broadcast Kimmel to protect itself. ABC suspended Kimmel to protect the time slot revenue stream. It's worse than it appears
