The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.
wonder whether Germans in 1933 were surprised when Himmler and Goebbels were appointed to the cabinet.

Inevitable that Bluesky would have some outages this week given a) huge increase in traffic; b) Elon's winged cuntmonkeys trying to break into it

If people are leaving Twitter, it's less because of the politics of its owner and more because of his ability. He's made a bad product, filled with bad ads, bad interactions and bad boosted content. It's a bad experience, of course people will look for something better.

Three days into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as Putin’s soldiers were razing cities, raping and executing Ukrainians, Gabbard — who was just tapped by Trump to be director of national intelligence — called on Zelensky to “embrace the spirit of aloha.”

There is no point trying to interact in any way with Owen Jones, and I would urge the well-meaning people I see within the Jewish community not to. It's like playing chess with a pigeon.

Ok but imagine watching 19 Garbo films, being commissioned by the Guardian to write THIS, and then you go on Uni Challenge and there's a Garbo question directed at the OTHER TEAM???? I will never get over it

NYT/Greenwald? And this guy is supposed to be their intellectual guru?
But institutions are over.
It’s all individuals now.
White House → Trump
60 Minutes → Rogan
NYT → Greenwald
NASA → Elon
So, the right approach is to ignore Wired and Scientific American. Just replace them with individual voices at 1/100 the price and 100X the quality.

Not going to bother searching fifteen years of tweets to see if OJ got days worth of content talking about other racist football hooligans in Europe that he could have found weekly, because I know there won't be any there.

As long as you don't need to open the doors on city streets, but why would a taxi need to do that? Also, as long as you don't have eyes.

Incredibly, after all Maccabi tourists had left, last night Amsterdam taxi drivers once again roamed the city asking people "who looked Jewish" whether they were Jewish and to check their passports. The depths are beyond. #Amsterdam
Great Keith Richards anecdote at the end: theguardian.com/culture/2024…
