Drama is about taking characters' ideas about the world and bashing them together in front of an audience made up of individuals, and is therefore the answering art form to AI.
In his 1941 book, Escape from Freedom, Erich Fromm argued that the rise of fascism could be explained in part by people preferring to surrender their freedom...AI offers a new way of surrendering that burden of having to think and decide for yourself.

Trump's Sturm Abteilung. Maybe President Vance will order the Nght of the Long Knives while getting his own black-suited troops in order.
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.

China is building a bunch of new aircraft carriers, and the US is building new battleships named after the president and AI drone swarms that'll do whatever you imagine as long as they're not in combat conditions.
“🇨🇳 China plans to field a force of nine aircraft carriers by 2035, according to a Defense Department report on Beijing’s military power released on Tuesday.
The U.S. report says that the PLAN will embark on the largest carrier build-up effort in the Indo-Pacific since World War II.”

Mexico is doing everything it can to pacify President Trump and maintain its sovereignty—but one U.S. strike against cartels could change all that, @nickmiroff.bsky.social reports.

I just hope it doesn't take a term of Farage as PM to generate the same energy in the UK.
Trump's second term is going to generate a LOT of structural reforms...from the DOJ to the SCOTUS
Statutory reform for '27 and '29 — abolish the POTUS controlled DOJ and establish an independent Federal Prosecution Service.
In no state does the mayors or governors control the DA's or state AG's*.

Literally any other attorney general before Bondi would have fought tooth and nail and then resigned over this alone. Letting White House staff take over making public statements in the name of DOJ is in and of itself completely insane.
