My first essay at The Atlas Journal explores how we traded examined belief for tribal shortcuts and what it takes to earn conviction again.

Honestly in some ways this is the epitome of this administration. This is a government of podcasters and TV presenters led by a reality TV star who doesn't actually want to govern, he just wants to create *content*

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.
Every dictator in history has lied.

The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

This, of course, comes after Tim Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund.
Since then Apple has received tariff exemptions.

fighting gerrymanders can seem hopeless, but there is a solution. big moment right now for people to see districting and the two-party system as inherently linked, and a relic of our archaic electoral rules. congress has the power to ban partisan gerrymandering and establish multi-member districts.

Too tired to pretend I'm surprised. I also dropped the link in Perplexity for an assessment. Detail in first comment.
Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade website no-crawl directives
Perplexity is repeatedly modifying their user agent and changing IPs and ASNs to hide their crawling activity, in direct conflict with explicit no-crawl preferences expressed by websites.
