Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

@nytimes.com is really not meeting the moment; one would think the need for @nytpitchbot.bsky.social would wane, but alas…no

A lot of the folks who think bias-confirming Google searches about vaccines is ‘doing your own research’ are the same ones asking ‘grok is this true’ about what time it is…

The administration’s agenda is to screw over Americans. It also hates the idea Americans might learn that fact. FWIW: been waiting on #amzn to do something useful. About time.

I vaguely recall from reading Tom Clancy novels a generation ago that Denmark was kinda important to strategic US interests. I asked my AI buddy Claude for a refresher: “Would breaking our alliance with Denmark impair our strategic capacity to counter Russian naval aggression?”

TL;DR - yep.

Senator Murphy hitting the nail on the head.

Investigating the graves of the disappeared abroad is how I got into my current line of work.

Need to nip this business in the bud.

I first encountered “On Bullshit” in about 1987. So on point. If you haven’t read it, it’s worth a visit, or revisit. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Bull...

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

If Joe Biden had brought George Soros in as an “efficiency expert” and let him have widespread access to federal government data, Republicans would have impeached Biden and sent a rocket to the moon using the fire coming out of Fox News hosts. But Elon Musk? No problem.

That actual adults with good judgment thought this move necessary is beyond fucked up. This observation is not a plea to vote a certain way. Just be a patriot FFS and recognize that for our massive imperfections, we strive to join our better angels.
