The policy of the US under Trump can be fairly summarised in three impulses.
To be cruel to those they can be cruel.
To intimidate those whom they can intimidate.
And to gain leverage in respect of those they want to manipulate.
Almost everything comes down to one or more of these impulses.

Having my book stolen by Meta to train their large language models doesn't feel great. But it does present me with another opportunity to declare how much, and how vehemently, I hate everything that Big AI's snake-oil peddling hypemen stand for.

A really good listen.
Have to give @alexpodyssey.bsky.social one more boost, if only for the recent episode's description of King Midas as a "Phrygian Theresa May, of sorts" 😂
Also, where else will you get someone pivoting from Puccini to Fortnite? This show is first-class, for its breadth as much as its depth.

Space Force continues to monitor Chinese satellites as they practice maneuvers best described as dog fighting.
Add to it Russia's nesting doll satellite tech & it becomes clear that the long-held US advantage in space is diminishing.
Let's focus on DEI & closing education because that'll help.
