That NYT column going around is interesting to me primarily because it seems like we're getting more mea culpas on wokeness from online weirdos than we are from mainstream writers, even though the latter are more responsible for spreading this kind of delusion than anyone.

Feels like we are in a threshold cascade: I will join as long as X percent of my alters join. You will join as long as Y percent of your alters join. These sorts of things can domino through networks but they can also come to an abrupt halt if a pivotal node does not reach its threshold.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Nice to see positive effects from this German basic income experiment Recently we've also seen negative self-reported mental health effects from a one-time $2k payment (Jaroszewicz et al 2024) & null effects in a $1k/month program (Miller et al 2024) More to learn about contexts & meta effects...

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.
