Trump's strategy has always been to work the media through provocation.
Any time the narrative is looking bad for him, he does something so extreme that it pulls focus.
But once you're executing white moms in the street and declaring war on three fronts, what's left?
Where do you escalate to?

On the verge of infuriating the tech bros, threatening their ability to do business in the EU because... Greenland?
Trying to strong arm the oil lobby into questionable overseas extraction projects?
Coming for the dollar with a knife with the Powell shit?

Certainly I could be wrong and it would not be the first time.

a lot of folks will see someone acting up and don’t want to engage but want to alert their comrades of a safety concern but don’t have info beyond a face in that moment.
that’s bare minimum community defense.
it is also, unfortunately, the most that most people ever do.

If you're an omnivore and you cook you should try to broaden your skills so you can make dishes for friends and neighbors who don't do meat (certain types or any at all), gluten, dairy, etc.
Cooking's about nourishment and hospitality. Also the food you make will get better the more you learn.

I guess this ties into a larger question I have, which is something that’s a little harder to articulate.
You could oversimplify it as “Are people getting less curious?”
but I think framing it that way is already an oversimplification, because it’s really more about *types* of curiosity

Sooooo I do a lot of interviewing job candidates, and coordinating debriefs for interviewers, and it’s not just journalists whose job it is to probe and yet seem unwilling to do it.
I wish I were old enough to know whether this is a significant shift in norms.
