“Brent Toderian agrees and believes that when major publications begin citing posts from Bluesky instead of other social media platforms, it will be the final pin to drop. "But I honestly believe it's already past that for city planners and the city-building community…” It definitely is.

Even by his standards, the gutter racism of Elon Musk's attacks on federal judges of color is pretty shocking. As usual, I am not saying anyone "should" be on X, but the right-wing frenzy happening over there is alarming and dangerous. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

It's almost as if government programs working to get new people into the pipeline were intentionally developed and had an important purpose.

Ordering to shoot protesters can go either way: massacre or mutiny... That is where a loyal unit of desensitized thugs comes handy. Deputized militias would fit the role nicely - a proven solution under warmer climates. Give Kyle Rittenhouse an officer's commission, to add insult to injury !

The US is heading towards a presidential order to shoot protestors. Trump wanted to in his first term, the sort of officials who opposed it aren't in the second administration, and he doesn't fear criminal law anymore. But I don't know how it'll go. Real human beings would have to pull the triggers.

By the way, this is a good way to judge newspapers: find stories about which you have insider information, and you'll quickly find who is bullshitting... If that story is bad, the rest you never doubted so far is probably just as full of it.

It's the Musk Effect. Someone who sounds like a genius until he starts talking about something you're knowledgeable about, and you realize he's saying the dumbest shit ever.

Something a lot of people are not going to like is that a return to authoritarian barbarism is going to make bog standard liberalism revolutionary again and people in the US are going to be way more primed to line up behind that than socialism.

Russian corvette 532 Boikiy is exiting Baltic Sea via Great Belt with staff at the stern machine guns. And a faux AIS-signal. Danes in the Facebook group 'Under Broen' usually photograph passing interesting ships, but I don't think I ever saw this detail. Photo: Anders Dyhrberg Bruun

So. The tariffs go ahead. But just to emphasize something we all know. Fentanyl and opioid deaths were a self-inflicted policy disaster that made the Sacklers wealthy; was not helped a bit by Trump 1 himself; & is due to health and pharma industry dysfunction.

as an economist who talks to people on Wall St: the data is BAD now, and everyone knows it. the stupid ones are surprised by this, of course, and flailing, but anyone who did more than a gram of thinking is readying their "break the glass" business plans.

As a telco employee, I was once involved with a national air control network... May be the most rigorous customer I have ever met... Belt and suspenders at every level, years of planning. To imagine them willy-nilly swapping an audited redundant network with Musk's consumer-grade stuff is hilarious.

This lawsuit is going to be fuckin brutal. Not only is Elon currently on X bragging that he nuked the contract via his current government gig w/ DOGE, but there's simply no way in hell Starlink will be able to prove in court that it provides "more reliable" dataflow than Verizon as he's claiming.

The lawsuit about this is going to be real fun, especially considering the tweets Musk is posting where he straight up brags about his no-bid corruption being a direct result of his role in the government

When the Internet began to proliferate & blossom 25-30 years ago, I was encouraged by all of the idealistic & progressive young people building impressive new services online. I never dreamed that all of the most successful ones would turn into greedy, dangerous, & racist middle-aged Fascists.

The Tate Brothers have been charged with human trafficking, having sexual intercourse with a minor, money laundering and starting an organized crime group, so it’s hard to tell what role they’ll play in the Trump administration.

The embrace and protection of Andrew Tate at the highest level of US government tells you everything you need to know about this rotten administration. They worship at the altar of abusing women and girls. Their version of morality supports sex trafficking under the guise of camming

The GOP has been understaffing, underfunding, and legally boxing in U.S. consumer protection agencies for decades while simultaneously falsely claiming they were out of control to justify further cuts trump 2.0 is the culmination of the generational goal of no corporate oversight whatsoever

trump is cutting social security, something mainstream media has claimed for years that republicans would never actually do, and now that it's happening, it's being framed as a debate over "data" if it's being covered at all. I'm losing my mind over here.

I think that it's important to share examples of visible dissent. Normalcy bias is real. Sharing how people continue to dissent is helpful.
