For thrills, I chatted with ChatGPT about the ethics of a president accepting a gift of a jet from a foreign government. I never mentioned Trump and the Qataris; I just asked about the ethics, history, and likely outcomes of such a scenario. Worth reading. chatgpt.com/share/682210...

Our nation is led by ghouls, who were elected by 70+ million tiny fiends in ugly red hats.

Legacy media keeps pushing “young man have radicalized” narrative, to fit their equally wrong “the people have become more right-wing narrative. Real story is “radicalization” of young women… but, like their sisters in previous generations, they only live in shadows (negations) of their male peers.

Related to this: America's current crisis can probably be traced to the utter destruction of the idea that the humanities are higher education's foundation.

New in PN: Why the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big deal "Voters by now have demonstrated their ability to choose diarrhea forever over everyone gets a puppy, & to vote away their own rights and democracy. But the WI election is a chance to start turning the country away from authoritarianism"

This is the crux of it. Leaders change public opinion. Trump has radically changed public opinion. Democratic consultants who do focus groups aren’t who Democrats should be listening to—they should focus on leading the public and aggressively reshaping views of Trump.

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

An unelected billionaire is illegally seizing control of the US government apparatus and carrying out a flurry of crimes as part of an unprecedented authoritarian power grab that directly violates several laws and the US Constitution. Say it plainly. It’s fact.

You can obey the Constitution or you can obey the Trump administration, but you can't do both. We need more voices, from more sectors, stating the problem in those terms. Anything less implies there's a compromise position or middle ground. There isn't. It's constitutional democracy or fascism.

Joe Biden is not transferring power to Donald Trump. He’s transferring it to you and Mr and everyone who still cares about democracy and who will do everything they can to keep it alive.

An underappreciated aspect of the Nazi rise is how quickly German society fell into line. In early March 1933, a majority of German voters voted against the Nazis. By late spring, pretty much the whole country backed them. How did that happen? Here's a little thread. (1/6)

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

Yes to this. Too many in our weary world seem to think that the scientist and the artist are inherently at odds, and that to advance one domain we must diminish the other. That is not true, and never had been.
