Here is my third weekly dispatch, imagining how the US media *should* be covering the Musk coup if it was clear-eyed about the threat to our democracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Errr. Top story in bbc right now…. Really, is there not a million other more important things happening?

“Unfortunately, the sheer depth of American exceptionalism is such that this country’s political, media and economic elites have a difficult time believing that anything can fundamentally change for the worse. But that, in fact, is what’s happening right now.” Sad but true

But her emails

www.bbc.com/news/article... You were right the first time and this pandering bullshit only makes things worse

Accrington Stanley? Who are they? Finally it is to be!!! @meninblazers.bsky.social Exactly!

Can anyone tell me why, in a representative democracy (supposedly) one man can pardon anyone for anything? Isn’t that relic of monarchy? And all the 1776 shit supposed to remove that???? I’m in no way suggesting hunter is anywhere near as bad as anything in the trump world. - Why is this a thing?

The meme I didn't know I needed

I get the political calculation here. I'm just gonna point out that the predominance of research into European parties' efforts to outflank the far right like this has found that they merely legitimised the far right's political framing and led voters to opt for the "full fat" version.

Any tips please… I’m looking for a non-partisan book that covers UK or US politics and mostly policies over the last say 50 years. Is there is a pattern of center left parties inheriting problems, starting to fix them and then culture politics kick in, right wing, cut taxes, erode services…etc?

Worrying that Fox News is getting more viewers than ever. I understand cnn and msnbc losing viewers cos I just can’t stand the Scott Jennings of this world, but isn’t it going to simply accelerate the brain decay that got us here anyway? Very worrying.

open.spotify.com/artist/0HHum... 20 years old, but still sounds fresh! So glad I’m an accountant instead of a touring musician 🤔

So what do we call this? Skying? BSKing? What is the noun and verb for this activity? Sure is better than Xing

I’m out. Should have done this sooner.

Sooo is this the new threads that was the new telegram that was the new twitter?
