2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

OK, a roundup response to the "they won't follow the court orders" people.

First of all, you're wrong! The administration *is* following many of the court orders.

What's more, they're showing their understanding of the validity of court orders by seeking stays pending appeal when they lose.

What a "nice" way to start a week! Our channel on YouTube has been deleted due to "spam and deceptive policies". Which is the biggest WTF moment in our brand's history on social platforms. We have only posted demos of our own original products, never anything else...

As the EOs and orders keep coming, I keep thinking of the exhibit in the Berlin Jewish Museum that displays the 962 anti-Jewish laws and policies in order as they came down. These kinds of drumbeats are designed not just to oppress but to normalize oppression. www.jmberlin.de/en/jmb-journ...

Jonathan Swift predicts generative art (as one would in Reichenbach's 'context of discovery') and parodies the modern-day reliance on AI as a priori auto-generating empirical truth (i.e. Reichenbach's 'context of justification') in Gulliver's Travels, Chapter V www.gutenberg.org/files/829/82...

Now that we're staring down the barrel of Project 2025, I guess it's a good time to re-up this essay I wrote a few months ago exploring its plans for an authoritarian administrative state www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins...

Backed by the Heritage Foundation, the initiative seeks to undermine longstanding safeguards against abuses of executive power.

“Haha can you believe McDonalds is doing a Squid Game promo” easily yes because capital subsumes all critiques of itself and no popular TV show or piece of art will ever threaten or unsettle it

We all think plastic pollution is a problem, and it is. In the nearly 70 years between 1950 and 2019, the world produced a total of ~9.5 billion tonnes of plastic.

But all the plastic we have EVER produced weighs as much as CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere during the first three months of 2024!

Every time I ask Siri a question about how to do something on my mac it just Googles and shows me results about windows and Android.

That's surprisingly inept. This is Apple Intelligence?

This will inevitably lead to the Dark Forest Internet. Only fools will exist in the public sphere.

Maybe we are already there.
The idea “is to give social science researchers more freedom when conducting studies. By creating digital replicas which behave like the real people they’re based on, scientists can run studies without the expense of bringing in thousands of human participants every time.” 🫠

When anyone says there is no good music being released now, it's because they couldn't possibly have heard it all. They have no clue.

2024 version of this report is out - with the same findings tuned one notch grimmer, and with a melted snowman + very polite request on the cover art

EGR2024 shows

- Current climate pledges and promise are badly insufficient
- Current POLICIES are even worse
