JD Vance, the guy who publicly declared that “professors are the enemy”. Now launching a full PR campaign against the American university system. Very healthy nation that definitely values education.

New movie pitch. Where Sam Altman is marooned on a desert island with nothing but his always-on nightmare device in his pocket to suggest and prod and pester him without relief for all eternity.

Hypernormalization -- when we all "carry on" in the midst of institutional dismantling and social dysfunction. And yet this lens leaves out the essential question for fascist times: what about all those who aren't just carrying on as normal -- but who actively delight in the chaos and dysfunction? 🧵

With Trump platforming the “white genocide” fantasy on the highest stage, it is quickly being mainstreamed as right-wing doctrine — the malignant fiction of a hidden race war, where white folk have been (and will be) displaced/eliminated from their homes/nations. Elite cues matter.

Yep. Mass shooter ideology, long honed and disseminated in the most virulent white supremacist circles. Circulated broadly in Elon's far right radicalization chamber. Now platformed at the highest level, by the nation's highest elected official. White supremacist fantasy and blueprint for violence.

It's not just Trump raving in the Oval Office about the far right fantasy of "white genocide". They've started promoting the fantasy right through the official White House website. White supremacists are doing cartwheels right now. This is their dream.

The thing about the Dem effort to find "a blue Joe Rogan" is that the phenomenon they're trying to capture well exceeds a single charismatic podcaster. Rogan himself represents the peak of a broad right-wing media ecosystem that's been patiently built, funded, and expanded over decades. 🧵

The president of the United States has basically degenerated into your racist uncle at the Thanksgiving table -- ranting about "white genocide", forcing everyone to watch white panic videos on his phone, and passing around printouts from Stormfront. Really healthy.

Exactly what you’d expect from a man who claimed crime could be solved by “one real rough, nasty… violent day” of police violence. Exactly what you’d go for if you wanted the police to function more like the Proud Boys.

This is also how I interact with my kids as well as my friends. It really frees up time for what matters in life, such as telling a robot to summarize and reply to business emails another robot has written, drinking heavily in the bathroom, and crying uncontrollably.

Exactly how university presidents should be received when they betray institutional integrity, academic freedom, and the welfare/safety of their students.

We laugh and shake heads at this now. But once run through the far right narrative machine/media ecosystem, this is how half the nation will soon define habeas corpus. This is how fascism works -- by deforming & polluting the core values of liberal democracy, until even they serve/feed state power.

What’s that? Oh, just the world’s richest man dipping into the oldest, deepest bucket of antisemitic tropes to bullhorn his xenophobia. Super healthy.

The right wing mega-influencers in lockstep: the admin should “ignore the Supreme Court. Deport every illegal. Arrest anyone and everyone who tries to stop you.” Because every fash regime needs its fash cheering section.

This, friends, is what we call regulatory capture. An industry extracting the greatest possible profit from our shared world, hollowing and deforming its core institutions, while wrapped in the thinnest veneer of public accountability.

From hundreds of terminated grants in biomedicine to selective prosecutions to organizational overhauls at the nation's science funding agencies, today's news reports salvo after salvo from a Republican administration dead set on destroying higher education—and with it, US leadership in technology.

Overheard on campus: students talking about Grok being programmed to spit out white supremacist panic fantasies. And then laughing about how they're still going to use gen AI. Because, of course.

If you're disturbed that Elon's radicalization chamber made Grok respond to every query with "white genocide" content, it gets worse when you see how the big white supremacists are cheering for it as a sign that they are winning. Their only regret? That Grok wasn't pushing it as absolute fact.
