Enshitification is a term we will all become more familiar with. It's where good products/services deliberately become worse, to maximize profits. Customer service was one of the 1st areas, and we've also seen this with AI where the free versions of a year ago are better than the paid versions now.

7/7 LinkedIn hasn’t become worse by accident.
It's just another toxic social media platform where performance matters more than reality. And they don't want any real discussions about layoffs, because they too have been laying off thousands while making huge profits.

Most Americans don't understand "at-will employment."
Let me explain why it's just another part of the workforce scam:🧵

Senate Democrats' shutdown surrender, the Heritage Foundation's far right shift and infighting, why even some Trump voters are appalled by ICE (though many others are thrilled), is the US going to war with Venezuela?, and more — I joined @sykescharlie.bsky.social to discuss on To the Contrary.

It is very frustrating to be an American taking US democratic backsliding seriously while the ostensibly pro-democracy national leaders don't.
At least some state leaders and activist groups are.

"Pro-democracy Americans should use 2026 to primary any Democrat from the Don’t Fight caucus and demand new Congressional leadership ahead of the bigger fight in 2028, when there’s a risk the Trump regime has consolidated enough authoritarian power that elections are not free and fair."
Democrats Have to Get Out of a Normal Democracy Mindset
By folding in the government shutdown in exchange for virtually nothing, eight Democratic senators aid Trump's authoritarian takeover rather than oppose it

Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.
In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.

two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

California is ideally sited for tidal, geo-thermal, wind, and solar. Sometimes all in the same place.
The goal: escape the use of combusting fuel - which is not generation of energy at all, just release of sequestered energy with the sequestering matrix as the byproduct that must then be dealt with

The people of Pennsylvania elected a man who had a GREAT history and personal story of service.
Unfortunately for them, and even more so for him, he had a massive stroke and - as is often the case - altered him almost beyond recognition.
YES, replace him. But please, accept that tragedy.

I hope he rests easy and I hope he does not know what has happened to the nation he died for
I weep in memory
His three brothers returned and died old at home

FWIW, this deal isn’t finalized yet.
If you want Democrats to keep fighting, call your Senator.
The vote to advance the bill will likely succeed, but all that does is tee up a final up/down vote.
