If you had to update @himself.bsky.social and @abenewman.bsky.social’s book, you could say that, as far as the federal government is concerned, that invisible boundary between the law bound USA and the rest of the world is now gone.
Although Smith did not explicitly say so, the biggest problem was the United States. Years before, NSA director Michael Hayden and his colleagues had inscribed an invisible boundary, separating the United States of America, where government was bound by laws and citizen rights, from a lawless outside world where the NSA could grab information it thought was in America's interests. Now, not just foreign terrorists but American multinationals found that they fell outside the zone of protection.

¿En qué fase de la crisis estamos si el Papa se dedica a citar a Hannah Arendt?

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation
Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

As someone whose professional interests have overlapped heavily with Przeworski's, I felt (and concurred with) this bit: "The brutal fact that we find it so difficult to predict what will happen under our current circumstances is evidence that we do not have theories we can rely on."

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.
Well – no. Bluesky may or may not be, as one centre-right friend who felt unwelcome put it, “self-righteous island”. But the idea that’s why we went is nonsense. That I’ve largely stopped posting on a site that’s done more to shape my career and social circle than the rest of the internet combined is less about avoiding rival opinions (I love arguing with people who are wrong!) than with the fact the site simply became unusable. It stopped generating the things (good jokes, interesting debate, clicks) I wanted; it became extremely good at generating the things (racists, pornbots, racist pornbots) I did not.

Hace poco volví a leer esto que escribí y publicaron en @elcuaderno.bsky.social. Creo que tiene que ver con lo que cito y con cómo eso no tiene que ir de la mano de una humildad paralizante. El pensamiento coyuntural puede tener un espíritu desbordante.

China ya recauda más exportando sus tecnologías verdes que Estados Unidos vendiendo energía fósil. Por ahora no es beneficio, es recaudación, pero creo que no es complicado ver qué nos conviene más emular a los países que no tenemos recursos fósiles. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

El tipo aquél que dibujó un 'VOX' gigante con los conejos que había reventado a tiros es un poco la clave de bóveda de nuestra época.

Me lo pasé muy bien grabando esto y creo que salió una charla interesante sobre los temas del libro gracias a las preguntas incisivas de David y Raúl.

El 22 de octubre a las 19:30 estaré en @letrascorsarias.bsky.social (Salamanca) para charlar con @jlrodriguezgut.bsky.social y @uatwm.bsky.social de “El fin de la paciencia” y lo que se tercie. Seguro que hablaremos del cuadro de Malévich y la revolución electrotécnica, para abrir boca.

Ayer tuve comparecencia en la Comisión de Transición Ecológica del Congreso. Sus señorías de Vox intoxicaron el debate con bulos negacionistas. Esta fue mi respuesta. Y de paso, una reflexión sobre su falso patriotismo al servicio de Trump 👇👇👇
