GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

"All is lost" narratives are popular because people generally do not want to take action. Taking action is tiring so if all is lost, you are off the hook. Nothing is more seductive than not having to do anything.

Anyone else get filled with rage when you have to use an email code to login instead of a passkey or password + authenticator code?
Besides adding friction to the login, it seems really insecure to boil all security down to an email inbox.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

Cryptocurrency is the same problem as decentralized content moderation, really: people want the freedom from past/historical structures it offers, and in theory it could solve a ton of issues, but when placed into practice it quickly becomes obvious there is in fact some seriously bad shit--

NEW: ICE’s policy of mass detaining immigrants w pending deportation proceedings has led to an avalanche of rejections in court.
More than 220 judges — including 23 Trump appointees — have called it an illegal distortion of long-settled law. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

I’m thankful for @jeffsharlet.bsky.social including OWS as part of “Undertow”. I had forgotten a lot of it as well.
Also, great book that I was devouring until the MRA/Incel part.
It’s good & important work, but I slammed the book shut multiple times in that part because of the subject.

The Democratic Party has many faults but alleging that the party’s declining popularity or success is rooted in some sort of global leftward ideological drift is pretty funny.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.
Feels like so many of our convos are revolving about how voters respond to what politicians are doing, or what parties’ positions on issues are, without much actual empirical sense of what they actually know about those topics.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Any Rock Band game fans here?
FYI, they start removing songs from being able to be purchased this weekend, 10 years after RB4 launched.
If you already own them, you’re good.
Time to check your wishlists!

FAA has issued MASSIVE temporary flight restriction which prohibits drones (i.e., photography) over Chicago.
They did similar around federal buildings in Los Angeles since June protests, but really no comparison...
