This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

The purported bedrock commitment to free speech in the new administration increasingly appears to apply to “me and not thee”… For speech to be free it must equally apply to those you disagree with.

Title track to this (delightfully the last song on the record) is still one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. But it is really, really so sadly beautiful, I would never drop that out of context on ya. The 1st song tho, is pretty fun, and has been in my brain a few days on repeat.

As Donald Trump's tariffs go into effect—imposing gratuitous financial burdens on ordinary people on both sides of the borders—it's worth remembering that the original resistance to neoliberalism came from anti-capitalists who wanted to "make the earth a common treasury for all," not nationalists.🧵⬇️

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

Canada should now do what many have suggested to hit back against the US with non-tariff measures: jailbreak all American tech and stop enforcing US copyright in Canada. pluralistic.net/2025/01/15/b...

Would love potash, the most boring substance, to be the turning point in this U.S.-initiated trade war. Canada supplies 80% of it to the United States. A 25% tariff will ruin American farmers. Canada could also choose to block its export. It’s practically the spice melange…

Heard Doctorow talking about this and it's the first really good idea re Tarriffs: Many bad deals that give US tech firms monopolies are enforced via benefits of free trade. If no more free trade, then there is no incentive not to open up US tech to competition. This will actually hurt Trump allies.

Here's my Bond villain theory: 1. The leases get cancelled and purchased by shell companies belonging to Musk. 2. Musk Co. takes over the servers since the tech can't be moved or feasibly rebuilt. 3. Weather data gets funnelled into xAI. [Insert dystopian Hollywood ending]

Authoritarian leaders often cultivate a culture of impunity. Efforts to shield allies from legal consequences, whether through pardons or obstruction of investigations, reinforce the idea that loyalty to the leader outweighs adherence to the rule of law.

NATO membership for Ukraine is becoming increasingly elusive. Despite member states giving a variety of reasons why they have been against welcoming Ukraine to the alliance, experts the Kyiv Independent spoke to said the only real reason for keeping Kyiv out is Moscow's stance on the issue.

A German woman, Jessica Bröscheis, is being held hostage and tortured by the US at Otay Mesa Detention Center. She was illegally detained upon entry while possessing valid paperwork and a return ticket. Trump's ICE troopers claim she "planned to work", however has no proof. Do not travel to the US.

My 17 y/o just taught me how to say the word “asymptote” and my day went from obtuse to a-cute. I pitched this joke to her and she told me that I can’t mix up maths like that and still be funny. Joke’s on her, I’m never funny.

I worry deeply that the economic shock the US is about to face from Trump's vandalism is going to drive the MAGA crowd even further to the extreme right as reactionary grievance politics surges.

Every time someone says the midterms will save America, I always say, I do not presume free elections. These idiot vandals are taking an axe to how government works, often illegally, at every level, in order to benefit themselves. Why would they stop at rigging elections?
