"Antifa" is to Trump's America as "International Satanism" or the "LGBT movement" is to Putin's Russia. Neither actually exist as legal or unitary entities, so can be used to criminalize anyone or anything at all.

Which is the point.

MAGA total fascism needs to be confronted!

Some of you may be surprised why things ended up the way they did between Trump and Musk.

The reality is they could have hardly ended any other way and I said as much even before Trump got elected.

Sad that this happens. Incentivizes flogging dead horses.

Important longread about Anthropic Shadow.

If AGI is dangerous x timelines are short x "strong self-sampling assumption" wrt observer-moments is valid…

Checking in on Bluesky.

You have Trump dismantling the world economy and daring the courts to do anything about extraordinary renditions of Latinos to Bukele's horror prison, and mentally ill schizos are choosing to blow a gasket over Yglesias lowkey signaling his crypto-HBDism.

Russia's Presidential Administration allegedly prepping governors on how to portray the SMO as a victory to the vatnik majority, and giving them targets for the 2026 Duma elections (55% for United Russia on 55% turnout).

Sorry to see Joe Biden privilege his son over the welfare of Our Democracy.

Very unprestigious and unhandshakeworthy action!

Latakia and Tartus should declare independence from the failed Syria project and reconstitute the Alawite State.

Aim for cosy $10k GDPpc tourism hotspot with 2M people.

Getting subjugated by Islamists cynically cosplaying libs for the moment isn't going to be an improvement from Assad for them.

Important thing about the Assad regime is that it presides over a very, very corrupt state.

In the first (and only) World Bank Enterprise Survey in 2009, 84% of Syrian firms reported needing to pay bribes to "get things done" with public officials.

How do we get more billionaires to fund research into radical life extension?

There's a bad selection effect here: Billionaires don't get to be that way by giving away money to random people and projects. OTOH, their money has no value where they're eventually going by default.
