I just saw a TikTok like “the motivations of assassins don’t make sense anymore” but boy have they never.

Hinkley shot Reagan to impress Jodi Foster. Oswald was such a complete mess people just assume the CIA did it. Guiteau killed Garfield because no one would make him an ambassador.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Best thing I've read all week. www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...
You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

Worth reading.
There is a fundamental difference between partisan policy debates and what we're witnessing now. When Republicans pass legislation on immigration, when they reform tax policy, when they push back against progressive cultural initiatives—this is the normal, healthy function of democratic governance. Elections have consequences, and the party in power has every right to advance its policy agenda through legal channels. But what's happening now exists in a different category entirely. When private citizens gain unauthorized access to Treasury payment systems, when security officials are removed for following classification protocols, when congressionally established agencies are illegally shuttered—these aren't policy changes. They represent the systematic dismantling of the constitutional framework that makes policy debates possible in the first place. Consider the profound difference: Opposing Democratic policies on taxation or immigration is legitimate political disagreement. Refusing to execute laws passed by Congress, removing civil servants for following legal requirements, and allowing private citizens to seize control of government functions represents an attack on constitutional governance itself. The former is about what policies we should have; the latter is about whether we'll maintain a system where policy debates matter at all. To conservatives who value our constitutional inheritance: This isn't about advancing Republican policies or opposing Democratic ones. It's about whether we'll preserve the constitutional system that allows these debates to occur through democratic processes rather than personal decree. When we replace professional civil service with personal loyalty systems, when we ignore congressional mandates, when we allow private interests to seize control of government functions—we're not winning political battles, we're destroying the arena where those battles are meant to occur.

This is a very clear explanation from @mmasnick.bsky.social of why everyone should be here, not over there. (Though I guess I should be posting this screenshot over there, not here.) www.techdirt.com/2025/01/27/e...

New from me for @rollingstone.com this morning, an hour ahead of the planned start time for Trump’s second inauguration.

I have nothing else polite to say.

It’s curious how some who call others sensitive for displaying empathy also froth at the mouth about that which hurts nobody & doesn’t affect them. The inability to tolerate others emotions masks a deep fragility, it stirs the buried depths of their own feelings which they strive so hard to silence

Found on reddit regarding @jay.bsky.team 's billionaire proof comments. in r/technology.

www.reddit.com/r/technology...

@bsky.app
Reddit user comments: "Bluesky currently has no realistic plan to fund itself. They've said they won't sell ads or user data, which I love, but I'm not sure what the options are besides shutting down or giving partial control to investors who'd be motivated to reverse those policies." Reddit user replies: "If I was them I'd put ads and user data in the User's hands. Opt in. Even pay them out a commission for their data. This is anecdotal, but a while back I caught my partner scrolling instagram and exclusively engaging with ads / promoted content. I asked her why she'd do that to her algorithm, to which she answered she doesn't use IG as social media any more. She uses it to shop, and sculpted her algo into a curated list of ads and products she's expressly interested in. It made me wonder if users would be more amenable to ads if they could control when they saw them. If a social media platform had a feed of exclusively ads curated by your user data, and kept it separate from the social feeds, I'd bet users would flock to it and produce more revenue than intrusive ads do anywhere else by an order of magnitude. Just my two cents. If not that, I agree and do wonder how they'll support the growth." Both comments well received in thread regarding BlueSky CEO's billionaire-proof comments
