But what’s happening now is even more extreme and more terrifying. Something that even experts in democratic collapse didn’t see coming. Normally when democracies fall apart, there’s also a playbook. A series of predictable steps involving the military, or the courts, or sometimes both.

But Do We Still Need Gov't Intervention To Open Mobile Networks?
A month and a half ago, Walt Mossberg wrote up an article saying that government intervention was needed to get US mobile phone operators to open up their networks. I took issue with that notion, n…

In 2014, Ursula Le Guin said: “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

As you begin to build your 2026 reading lists (which is a thing I assume some people do), consider adding my really very short book on AI and Eugenics.

Fun fact: When Walter and George found out Nichelle was making less than them, they went to Nimoy. He went to the studio. Her pay was increased to be equal to Walter and George. Men fighting for pay equality for a black woman in the 1960’s is kinda mind blowing.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

they’ll lose it if they think it’s a return to business as usual and do not engage in reform and rebuild
Hot take: when Democrats return to power, they won't lose it for a long time because of how bad the Republican Party is.

Get these bastards, Gavin, especially that fat fuck who was the first steal from the man's grocery cart (ERO). And get those civil rights violating punk ass DHS ICE nazis out of California, @governor.ca.gov 😠
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
