TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

A thought about AI and cognitive outsourcing. Socrates said the same about books, 'This invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it' and he was clearly right. But is anyone arguing that learning was better in the days before writing?

This is what I am even seeing in myself. What might it do to students who haven't got a lifetime of non-AI study behind them? www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/ai-r...

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

www.letfreedomring.live 250 years ago, Boston’s Old North Church hung two lanterns to warn patriots that the British were coming and set Paul Revere's famous ride. This April 18th, the church will ring its bells to commemorate the day the American people rose up against tyranny in 2025.

@davidkr.bsky.social An outstanding analysis. The clearest thing I have read yet. spectrejournal.com/trump-fascis...
