Text Shot: It’s a common refrain that the news industry has failed to come up with a functioning business model in the Internet age, but that’s not entirely true. Jettisoning the requirement to report news in favor of inciting the rage and fear and hatred of your audience before serving them up ads for guns and bunkers is a perfectly functional business model. It might not be journalism, might be the opposite of journalism, but the checks clear. – Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This (Knopf, 2025), chap. 2.

Started rereading a little book I enjoyed when it first came out: Brooke Gladstone, The Trouble with Reality: A Rumination on Moral Panic in Our Time (Workman Publishing, 2017).

In a conversation about the information disorder we're all grappling with, I found myself saying that the constant barrage of existentially bad news from Washington these past few months has been wearing me down, making me dumber.

Text Shot: Putin has correctly surmised that lies unite rather than divide Russia’s political class. The greater and the more obvious the lie, the more his subjects demonstrate their loyalty by accepting it, and the more they participate in the great sacral mystery of Kremlin power. – Charles Clover, quoted in Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom, chap 5.

Starting my 9th book: Truth Wars.

Truth isn’t just under attack — it’s being carpet-bombed.

State propaganda. Corporate spin. Goebbels-level narrative control 2.0.

Started it in 2016. Shelved it.
Now? It’s time to finish the damn thing.

British officer: "How bad is the news?"

Dutch woman: "Who knows? Some say the Germans are being beaten back. Others say they've already occupied Amsterdam. There is no truth left in Holland."

– Spoken in "Operation Amsterdam" (Rank Organisation, 1959) at about 21 min.

Bottom line:

Misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation are designed to confuse.

But you’re designed to think.

Stay calm, stay curious, stay deliberate.

We’ll break down more tactics soon. Follow along.

Discussions highlighted the dangers of algorithm-driven radicalisation, the influence of pro-Russian and nationalist networks and the media’s role in shaping public perception. Addressing these challenges requires ongoing research, collaboration and action.

If this series helped clarify what’s being used against us all, please share it.
Disinformation thrives on confusion.

But curiosity, clarity, and community are stronger.

Stay sharp. Stay deliberate.

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More
By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

Text Shot: Western journalists are … taught to report various interpretations of the facts. The adage that there are two sides to a story makes sense when those who represent each side accept the factuality of the world and interpret the same set of facts. Putin’s strategy of implausible deniability exploited this convention while destroying its basis. He positioned himself as a side of the story while mocking factuality. “I am lying to you openly and we both know it” is not a side of the story. It is a trap. – Timothy Snyder, The Road to Unfreedom, chap. 5.
