Super read on Paul Marshall in LRB. Obviously highly able, v successful financially, but has dabbled in politics+media. Why own the Speccie and GB News if you won't do a simple i/v for a longform, intellectual piece.The rich get prissy about i/vs, their reputations suffer, and hence vicious circle..
‘Marshall’s self-definition as a politically homeless classical liberal hardly fits with the man who has spent a fortune on right-wing media outlets.’

Good point @stephenkb.bsky.social It's pure trolling designed for the primary audience that Vance needs in two years. German election in a week now absolutely crucial. Noone knows how this influences marginal AfD voters. Merz being v resolute.
It's true that the speech is worth listening to or reading in full, in part because it's worth asking whether you think it's a 'provocative and thought-provoking prod' to suggest that the 10 million immigrants in the UK are a more "urgent challenge" than the Russian state.

#AfD leader Alice Weidel declined to condemn her party president Gauland for calling the Holocaust a 'tiny detail of history' ("bird droppings"). This is the party that Vance and Musk have explicitly supported.

The marginal Trump voter voted on inflation, the border and for a bit less wokeness. The federal govt maoist cultural revolution stuff will only matter to such voters if the chaos becomes linked to bad outcomes in the economy and their lives. Which it well might!
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Monday he is launching a new task force to combat the Trump administration's efforts to upend the federal government.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Important long read on AI replacing humans. Not really a positive piece for Klarna or its CEO Siemiatkowski. Klarna certainly seems to hyping its AI transition a tad
As AI gets more powerful, AI execs like Sam Altman have largely stopped talking about potential for job loss. But if you look at how much capital investors are putting into AI, it's hard to see how they get their money back w/o millions of jobs disappearing. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/b...

Secretary Noem admitting just now that prices might go up because of tariffs, and if so that would be the fault of companies putting up prices, not the govt. And doesnt rule out children being held at Guantanamo Bay.

Medicare has four parts: A,B,C and D. A is hospitals, B is coverage and costs, C plans are different alternatives to "original medicare" (ie A+B) and D is prescription drugs. Sen Hassan asked RFK Jnr what the four parts of Medicare are. He didn't know.
