Also I want to take a moment to remind everyone (who isn’t an elected official) to take time to recharge your batteries. You don’t have to attend every city council meeting or protest. Find what centers you, then get back in the fight. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

This is all so smart, and just should be so fundamentally obvious to Congressional Democrats! "The complicity of Republicans in the trashing of our democracy cries out for the kind of loud confrontation that will cause members of the Washington Post editorial board to clutch their pearls."

Finally, around a year ago I launched my podcast "music/Maker with Tyler Kline," which features longform conversations with composers and other types of makers about their work, journey, and artistic ethos. So far, I've talked with 24 folks! www.looseleaftransmissions.com/musicmaker

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares." "The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares." "Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares." I'm blocking these people on sight now. Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.

This terrible but tragically not surprising from the hedge-fund owners of newspapers that are killing American journalism. Another reason why I say legacy newspaper chains are no longer synonymous with news and journalism; they are its destroyers.

They are a crack in the system, like a flaw in spacetime, a gaping wound you can’t look at—the schism of untempered capitalism that threatens to suck us all into a void. Extreme concentration of wealth has no positive societal outcomes.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

One of the things I learned about fighting propaganda while researching my book "Stories Are Weapons" is that shutting up and staying quiet are the absolute worst ways to deal with disinformation. So ... when supposed allies tell trans people to shut up, what do you do? YOU SAY TRANS RIGHTS.

And this is why I say, again and again, that generative AI--which has not sense of fact, no understanding of anything--should not be associated with either search engines or journalism. It doesn't lie. I doesn't know what truth is.
