This is so far beside the point but it’s “thought police” with no hyphen, you sound like T. Herman Zweibel

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This man spent $7m on a fake Hawaiian war god statue and that alone should get him mocked at every public appearance

Marc Benioff, who once donated to Democrats, told @heatherknightsf.bsky.social that he thinks Trump should send the National Guard into San Francisco.

“I fully support the president,” he said. “I think he’s doing a great job.”

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

The idea that any journalist at CBS News would feel free to open up to Bari Weiss about what’s “broken or substandard” could only have come from the mind of… Bari Weiss

Really great newsletter from @danmall.bsky.social today about where he finds time to read ~all those books~
Screenshot: A friend once told me they wrote a book by buying train tickets to small towns two hours away. They’d write for two hours on the way out, explore, eat lunch, then write again on the way back. The travel wasn’t just part of the plan; it was the reason they got it done. When someone asks me where they can find the time, I give them my best recommendation: Far away.

I always try to keep scale in mind with political action. This is about 3% of Italy's population. A U.S. equivalent would be ~10 million people.

Over 2 million people across Italy have rallied in more than 100 cities for a one-day general strike.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that
