one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Some words I invented that Dems might use soon:
Trumpflation - needlessly inflicted inflation
Trumpcession - needlessly provoked recession

I don't know where Donald Trump got the idea that a trade war with his closest allies is a good idea, but Liz Truss cannot be ruled out.

Free speech is important because it prevents those in positions of power suppressing the truth. It is in service of truth.
Interesting now how so many value freedom of speech because it enables the truth to be obfuscated and lies to become fact.

The world is unravelling. Values are eroded; lying normalised; power ever more concentrated. Soon smarter than human AI will be controlled by a handful of people in a handful of companies. Is this how it ends? How do we fight back?

Nothing says you had nothing to do with Jan 6th better than pardoning all the people who definitely stormed Congress on Jan 6th.

There are so many unanswered questions about we manage a world of human-level AI, even in one or two industries. Every scenario I run ends up in a very difficult place for individuals and for governments.

A lot of posts saying Musk isn't doing this for the money. I agree, he's doing it for the power. A demi-trillionaire spend $40b to buy a social media site to assist a demagogue into power and then use him as a puppet.
Dystopian.

Shocked by how many are attempting to justify the Biden pardon. It’s a grotesque abuse of power.

The felon who hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law will be a top ambassador. Trump fully intends to degrade and humiliate his own foreign ministry. Most Americans are fine with the scheme. It is what it is.
Trump just named Jared's father, Charles Kushner — who he pardoned in 2020 — to be Ambassador to France.
Kushner hatched a scheme involving a prostitute to entrap his brother-in-law and eventually pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations.
