My new book is about this! And almost no mainstream journalism outlet has had me on to talk about what is the really big story of this era! Go buy Corporate Control to learn how it happened.
I think in the long run, the really big story of this era is that about a dozen absolutely massive corporations took control of unprecedented swaths of the economy, human attention, and the flow of information.
I think many of our problems are downstream from that.

Fascism sets in EXACTLY like this. Days go by. Nothing improves. The people wait with bated breath for SOMETHING or SOMEONE to help. Court orders, but no enforcement. Time passes. We become desensitized. Life goes on. Rights are chipped away. Life goes on. People die. Life goes on.

NEW: The U.S. Postal Service posted a net loss of $3.3 billion in this fiscal year’s second quarter mainly due to “significant challenges out of our control,” including workers’ compensation costs, Luke Grossmann, USPS chief financial officer, said at the open session of the governing board meeting

I always say why would you want a bunch of killjoys who don't like food or music to reshape the world...
There’s a real link between AI writing and Silicon Valley meal replacement drinks and the entire fuckin swath of maximizing the human experience and it’s that they view pleasure as being unhelpful to life. I don’t want a drink that replaces a meal, I don’t want a book summary, I want to savor things

We’ve built entire org cultures around the appearance of momentum, where design and strategy are just templates applied at speed by people who won’t be around to see the results. The rise of AI just accelerates this, because it helps us defer complexity behind prettier outputs.
This week's issue expands upon some of my recent threads. Tech is besieged by template ronin - grifters peddling simple, quick, and cheap "solutions" that don't actually fix anything.
Together with their loyal AI squires, template ronin leave a trail of destruction for the rest of us to clean up.

Learning “best practices” by rote has produced a cohort of shallow generalists. Solving real-world challenges requires tailoring your methods to the problem's unique context.

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

The Republicans win because they don’t cede any ground.
You don’t see their officials quoting Roosevelt.
They have a whole ass messaging apparatus dedicated to vilifying their opposition and pushing the most extreme parts of their agenda.
They shift the debate and Dems follow. Always.

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
