Reformed Digital Utopian. Bought the late 80's and 90's tech hype. Sorely regretting that purchase. A better internet is possible but we need better people making it. Not big on fascists or tech bros but that may be redundant.

An incredible achievement. But also, as CoIonel Robert Bateman put it: “Once, every village had an idiot. It took the internet to bring them all together.”

This shit would be over in a fucking day if we could centralize and heavily regulate boner pills, golf courses and private practice physicians that specialize in rich white people.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Fiduciary responsibility? What a lovely concept. Maybe handing immense power to a convicted felon and sociopath was a bad call. I would love to see Dems act on this but that would require them having a spine.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

The thing I admire most about Jeffery Goldberg right now is that he didn't sit on his incendiary scoop, waiting to reveal it only when he could make money from it in a book, like so many other selfish people who know shocking things about this administration have done and will continue to do.
