This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

An efficient facism does not require much direct state violence. It merely requires the assurance that private violence aligned with the desires of the regime will go unpunished.

JFC, come on media. "Democracy Dies in Darkness" was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

I don't know how many of y'all are watching the migration of American TikTokers to RedNote, but it's the most fascinating thing I've EVER SEEN HAPPEN ONLINE.

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.

You still have people saying, "I don't see any evidence that Musk is a neo-Nazi." And it's like, I can't know what's in his heart, but he follows them on Twitter, retweets them, promotes their conspiracy theories, parrots their rhetoric, and now recommends their party for Germany. But who knows?

@markstencel.bsky.social @froomkin.bsky.social We need to have a WPNI reunion someday. Very glad you two are still fighting the good fight after all these years. Is there a BlueSky WPNI list or should we make one?

So Republicans are for getting rid of student debt after all. They just have to have slept with the student first.

I still maintain that the phrase, "The answer is simple: volume," is the best straight line ever said on TV.

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social I am so done with the #BrokenPost and #BrokenTimes. Two weeks without reading either and I am so much the better for it. The mainstream media has shown that they are not up to the historical moment we find ourselves in.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous
