Bluesky has killed the outrage marketer grift. When everyone was confined to one place, plausible deniability existed. One could have happened across a comment from a usual target. But to carry comments from Bluesky over to Twitter to enrage one's audience makes one look like a stalker or weirdo.

Unfortunately you have to primary everyone, not just because they don't have what it takes to fight, but because they don't have what it takes to rebuild. Last thing you want is them to win by default and then tread water until the next Trump comes to power

So it is not hard to imagine how an administration that is already pressuring companies to change their behaviors on everything from hiring policies to branding could exploit the Fed’s latent supervisory powers for a wide range of ends. What if “go woke, go broke” ended up informing CAMELS ratings? What if, more menacingly, private individuals, businesses, and civil society organizations that had not violated any laws ended up being denied access to credit, or even basic financial services, such as the ability to make and receive payments, if they were viewed as political enemies? “Reputational risk” is a legitimate concern, but also inherently vague. What if, alternatively, banks were forced, or at least strongly encouraged, to make loans on generous terms to favored borrowers, including, perhaps, family and friends of administration officials? Perhaps those banks might also be discouraged from trying to collect on any delinquent debts from well-connected borrowers—surely an appealing option for someone with as much experience in leveraged finance as the current president. Plenty of other societies have had experience with this kind of banking system. We should hope that the U.S. does not join them.

I think we need to stop saying that people hate crime. They like punishment. There are clear ways to reduce crime that involve systemic investment in communities but we avoid doing that in favor of ever more militarized policing because too many people in power like punishment.

I think it's simpler than this. This isn't a tactical miscalculation. Labour is giving us the policies it - to the extent it believes in anything - believes in.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Watching The Death of Yugoslavia on iPlayer and while I'm not quite finished, the one message is that screams through it all is that while the whole Serbia/Croatia thing was complex and had blame on both sides, the reason that Bosnia was such a charnel house was "Fuck Muslims". And we agreed.

Anyone I know on a visa is 100% of the time nervous about that visa. They're not going to try to just oopsie their way into staying in the UK for longer. All this correspondence does is intimidate an already very intimidated demographic.

We have reached a stage where foreigners – illegal, legal, documented or not – have become the scapegoat for all the country’s many ills, writes @adriaanbasson.bsky.social

You know how sometimes we find toxic waste that’s been haphazardly dumped decades ago and think, “what the fuck were they thinking?” That’s how the future will think about almost everything we’re doing in 2025.

I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.

They pitched religion and crypto to Trump as the easiest marks to cash in on and he couldn't believe it took him this long to give it a shot. All those years wasted scamming developers and sitting in courtrooms for a real estate long con when he could've just opened a megachurch
