schmitt’s derisive mention of “color revolution” is a good clue as to the nature of his information environment
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

Strong disagree. MeToo was objectively good but BLM failed to achieve basically anything other than destroying law enforcement morale.
Inside most activist movements, most of the Woke 1 Tumblr-Adjacent stuff played out IRL and was demobilizing. It wasn't just an online phenomenon!!!!

I'm leery about the emerging negative characterization of "Woke 1". While the atmosphere online went Toxic Tumblr, the heart of the movement outside social media was MeToo & BLM - both of which *had* to happen.
here's my take on Woke 2. the thing about Woke 1 is that it's born from the end of history era, when it was important to re-discover forms of oppression that had been denied or hidden. but this led to a [clears throat] hermeneutics of suscpicion, and ultimately paranoia and internecine factionalism

the pardon power as it currently exists has to go, man, there just isn’t any way that the way which trump has used it can be consistent with small-d democratic governance, it just can’t.

Over the next 2ish years you will get exposed to psychos online and IRL who are 100% down with the military shooting protesters or think Trump being in the Epstein files isn't a big deal.
They have always existed and will always exist but they probably can't break 20% of the voting public

87% of executives sitting at their desk writing prompts like "a picture of my wife coming back with the kids"
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
