Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

There is reporting that Trump tried to intimidate Zelenskyy into accepting Putin’s terms, and here is Zelenskyy’s response. The Ukrainian people are so incredibly brave.

I like the @chrislhayes.bsky.social essay on attention as the currency of modern politics, but one thought I kept having in response is that the media--more broadly, the US elite establishment--*does not respond symmetrically to attempts to grab attention*. Ds & Rs are not on the same playing field.

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings.
In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.
Bari Weiss tweeting about the civil war in the NY Times Another NY Times employee says: "I am in the same meeting that Bari appears to be livetweeting"

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

Oh hey look it’s exactly what I’ve been saying - Microsoft doesn’t believe it’s physically possible for them or for anyone to build the data centers OpenAI wants.

The Era of Smiles approaches
The eye-popping size of server rental deals OpenAI sought outside Microsoft would soon dwarf even that number. Toward the end of 2024, OpenAI reiterated to Microsoft that it wanted several more gigawatts of capacity in the next several years, on top of all the other capacity it was getting from Microsoft and expecting to receive from Oracle, according to someone present for the discussions. But among themselves, Microsoft's Azure executives didn't believe it was physically possible for anyone, including Microsoft, to build the capacity OpenAI was asking for in that time frame, two people present for the discussions said. In conversations with OpenAI, Microsoft executives cautioned their counterparts at the startup that Oracle had never done anything like what OpenAl was requesting.

Does your local coffee shop look like this?

If not, it’s probably because:
1) zoning created large distances between housing & shops.
2) the streets between housing & shops are unsafe for biking.
3) there isn’t any/enough secure bike parking

5 bikes including 3 cargo bikes are parked outside Wildflyer Coffee

I love this so much
Eleanor points out that Portland's heroes tend to be offbeat, independent creative thinkers, which explains why the city is such a ripe target; the administration is cracking down on artists, she says, "because we point out what is true." And absurd metaphors are a serious matter; when armed federal agents tackle a clarinet player in a banana costume, it draws attention to the disproportionate gap between the perceived threat and the official response. "What I love about what's happening in Portland is that we're refusing the binary of 'cower or fight," she says. “As a city of creative weirdos, we're claiming a third option: irreverence, humor, joy as resistance. And here's the thing - fascists have no counter-argument to that. They can't match wits. Theirs is not a culture of humor, because humor requires surprise and creativity, the exact opposite of control and conformity. You can't legislate against a naked bike ride or a dance party."
