The Enshittification of American Power First Google and Facebook, then the world. Under Trump 2.0, US statecraft is starting to mimic the worst tendencies of Big Tech.

Bleak. β€œIn time, US citizens may find themselves trapped in a diminished, nightmare Americaβ€”like a post-Musk Twitter at scaleβ€”where everything works badly, everything can be turned against you, and everyone else has fled.”

The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

We let an opportunity to have an exceptionally well-qualified individual of character lead this nation slip through our fingers, America.

Mexico is sending firefighters to help California.

Canada has sent firefighters to help California.

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word:

If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

Krampus is coming to San Antonio While many are looking forward to the upcoming Krampus parade, others are instead filled with concern.

San Antonio's too scared of a little holiday horror? I say let Krampus loose and then do a world tour. Also, why limit to just kids? I'm sure we can think of a few adults we wouldn't mind including on the naughty list.

they are gonna fuck this up so hard.

They’ll win a bunch and do a ton of damage but that is not mutually exclusive from how hard they are gonna fuck this, because they are chronically morons

Bluesky Is Turning Into a Strong X Alternative Bluesky has a hint of the old Twitter magic, but the feeling of freedom it offers might be even better.

I wrote about this app! It’s good! (But you know that, you’re here)

BlueSky may be an echo chamber for a while, but it has the potential to be a place (for people living in the same reality) to discuss opposing views more than the other place does. The other place is beyond hope. For now though, I'm just going to enjoy not losing faith in humanity on this app.

I think my fave thing about Bluesky is how easy it’s been to connect with so many cool people, so quickly.

Loving these starter packs! πŸ“ˆ
