This is going to ruin some lives.

I wrote a little bit about the lie that authoritarians care about "antitrust reform" and "reining in corporate power"; a pre-election head fake propped up by terrible journalists and useful idiots like Matt Stoller:

No need to wait until September: We’ve identified the causes of autism and even some of the environmental chemicals interacting with autism genes involved early fetal neurodevelopment during pregnancy

It's so funny how they rant and rave against Marxists and what not, but man, do they sound like failed Soviet leaders. "You have been reassigned from hospital doctor to toaster maker. Please go to factory at 5 a.m. for shift."

“Hank, why are you spending so much time defending the freaking /minecraft movie?/“ Actually, I’m not defending anything, I am attacking the practice of dumping buckets of jaded misery on moments of goofy joy and I will absolutely die on that hill.

Call and demand action. Remind them they are responsible and need to call the people who can facilitate. Laws are ideas. Without enforcement there is no law.

Start having a conversation with people on the other side that is simply "What is a bridge too far?" We're going to cross a lot of bridges really fast at this point. Might as well start reaching out for coalition.
