“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning”
~ Winston Churchill 1942
A new friend made the allusion to this moment in this fight to Dunkirk: for those with a granular understanding of Dunkirk, that is just about perfect.

Elon Musk is just ridiculous
China just extended its lending facility to Tesla by $2.38 billion last quarter.
Now he disses them right after getting his $1 trillion pay package approved.
Tesla shareholders are stupider than followers of Jim Jones.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Good read by @jilldlawrence.bsky.social about Elise Stefanik, who started as a smart conservative, went all in on MAGA, got her nomination to UN Ambassador yanked, and is now attempting to run for governor of New York.
Elise Stefanik’s Bad Bet on MAGA Politics
For a promise of power, she has let herself be yanked around. Now she’s launched a Trumpian campaign for governor of New York.

This sums it up nicely
The harm caused by the shutdown was real, affecting millions, and no one should downplay that. But America is not in a situation of harm or no harm. Rapidly backsliding into authoritarianism, America is in a terrible situation where appeasement trades short-term relief for more long-term harm.
