After a few weeks of Claude coding I find I'm talking to people differently; maybe better? Concise, lots of clear simple questions, concerned to model the other person's context. What if the result of AI tools is higher EQ?

Surely heads of state should arrive on horseback?

Thinking of coining *malakastocracy": government by wankers. Open to improvements

The Guardian knows how to write a headline: "Trump cabinet flunkies hail wannabe Caesar and Elon, his oligarch pal"

Pre buying Twitter, Musk was thinking of doing a clone called Pravda - Soviet paper, meaning "news".

Izvestia Social has a nice ring to it

Plane down in Alaska, #3 for Duffy.

2026 would have made for 250 years of American democracy.
So close

With history repeating as farce, I'm trying to figure out the players. Musk has clearly won the Goering spot (industrialist and #2); but Bannon seems to have been fired from the Goebbels role. No idea who gets to be Himmler, and especially Rohm. Ideas?
