what this makes me think of immediately are examples of right wing protests with militia members or like the Lobby Day stuff in Virginia where lots of people are just ominously idling in full tactical gear w/ big guns and the tension/attention that creates even if they just stand there

this speaks a bit to my argument about leaving twitter. it's not about ideological purity, it is about the fact that it's been turned into a political weapon for people who wish to use it to harm others. it's not the marketplace of ideas - you do not have to participate in this project! very simple!

the fun version of this is when you’re posting about some nerd shit and someone pops up in the comments like “actually I am a world renowned expert in this field and here’s how this works” easily the best thing that happens on social media

I wrote about the Musk/Trump beef. Probably an attention contest without precedent. It’s worth asking what 'winning' even looks like here. But I get the sense that, whatever happens...we all lose. But in the interim the content is tremendous. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

right now at least i think the opposite! the dumbest outcome is that this beefing somehow makes them both stronger so i'm going with that for now

a pretty great admission by Musk that, despite being a mega donor and shadow president for a month there, he's completely unaware of the dynamics of american politics. he was merely audience captured by the only people who could stand him anymore and now he's gonna alienate them too

not really the point (or maybe it partly is) but it is so difficult for me to read chatbot voice. the flattering tone is one thing but it's also just so fluffy. doesn't produce writing as much as 'copy.' Anyhow, I'm glad we're replacing people with this. Very good.

since everyone is talking about headlines, one thing that sucks so much about them in this iteration of the internet is if they're really nuanced/very helpful a lot of people just tune it all out. if they're really catchy, they tend to elide a lot of context or don't quite describe the piece.

I think you should know that Trump put the same gold-framed painting of Reagan in the Oval Office as can be seen in the office of the colonel in the movie “MacGruber.”

this is why local news in so many of its forms is so important. people in media who serve a community, not a national audience, who can build up decades of credibility. it's not just that he's speaking up but that there's a possibility people might listen. this is what's lost when you gut local news

A big takeaway for me from all this MUSK/DOGE 'departure' news and reporting is how absolutely predictable this all was! the goal was the rapid unscheduled disassembly of the government by a group of people led by a callous, ignorant man who believes he can solve any problem and consolidate power
