Walz is such a disappointment. At one point I thought he understood the stakes and who the republicans are. Obviously not.
"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

A good overview of how it's going with our current right-wing government here in Finland. This, of course, is just the tip of the shitberg.
So it unfortunately seems it's time for another #Finland Explainer thread about the most right-wing government in our history. Sigh.

This time, the government that chases record unemployment, record indebtedness, and record fall in the young people's willingness to defend Finland, insults Asians.

While correct, this misses one important aspect. The fabric made with the machines was of inferior quality compared to the product made by craftsmen/women. Consequently, customers had to buy new clothes much more often. Working the machines would've felt shameful to anyone with pride in their work.
An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

A hero we need
For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

Such a perfect example of a conservative. Things only matter when they hit close to home. Think of all the other things Trump has said, but this is where the line is drawn. Probably also has something to do with Trump cratering in the polls.
Apologies. Didn't alt-text it. Here we go.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

There are people, often men, who believe themselves to be very smart, but to keep that belief they also have to start believing many extremely simplistic and stupid things to avoid dealing with the complexity of the world that might reveal their cognitive limitations. "The crime genes" indeed.

Good thread that has value beyond a critique of Yarvin.
I watched Yarvin’s Sheldonian lecture. What struck me is that he’s describing real institutional failures, but he completely misdiagnoses the cause. He treats “democracy” as the problem, when the actual collapse is upstream.
See also Curtis Yarvin's remarks in a recent Oxford lecture:

"Say what you want about MBS, he's quite an effective king I think in a lot of different ways. Um love the Ritz thing, the whole Saudi embassy thing, I don't know, but I mean he was a journalist". [Giggles]

I'm afraid this might paint an unrealistically rosy picture of the state of financial regulation in these times.
The universe does things on a subatomic level that would get you arrested for bank fraud if you tried the financial equivalent.
