I think this has to portend something. The Democratic establishment tried to bury El-Sayed. Twelve TIMES as much outside spending for Stevens says to me that the wealthy and the powerful tried to buy consensus instead of building it. This is one for the books, I think.

If we don’t fight back, we don’t have a future. The @theguardian.com just published an amazing piece about my book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy." Coming August 18! www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

‘If we don’t fight back, we don’t have a future’: the journalist taking on the ‘tech fascists’ of Silicon Valley

As Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and their peers have grown richer and more influential, Gil Durán argues they have all but abandoned democracy – and found the perfect government to enable them

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

once upon a time, we cut off the trolls’ oxygen and they got bored and wandered off. that’s how this place became the so-called “bubble” they hate so much. the end.

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

WaPo alone found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, namely to spy on girlfriends or ex-wives. They interviewed ~seven victims w/ stories of abuse that are really awful. One police chief "watched every single move" his ex made.

Luigi Mangione’s team complains that there will be no overflow room for his trial and wants a list of reporters set to cover it, objecting to “any process where the Court and the (DA’s office), directly or indirectly, hand-pick the reporters...” Who might they want on the list?
