Huge congratulations to Susan Crawford on a resounding, well-earned victory tonight. Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election demonstrates Musk and Trump have gone too far, and any politician allied with them could swiftly face the end of their political career. My statement:

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Mel Bochner, a grad school mentor, exposed the cracks between words and reality in ways that offer a lesson for AI. His 1970 dictum "Language Is Not Transparent" feels prophetic now that we use black boxes to churn out news, legal documents, and medical advice blog.still-water.net/mel-bochner-...

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

For all Trump's talk of manufacturing jobs, you didn't see the CEOs of GE and Caterpillar sitting in the prime seats today. You saw the CEOs of Amazon and X and Meta and Google and TikTok. It's the attentional oligarchs whose power he cares about.

Every Democrat, every day. This is what needs to be said. Trump succeeds because he relentlessly repeats himself over and over. It’s not easy to do—it’s natural to want to move on—but it’s effective for driving a message. Dems likewise need to put what Schatz says here on permanent repeat.
