What a goddamn legend. Every big tough conservative masculinity guy has been crying about how terrifying cities are to live in for the past two years and now Trump wants to move back to NYC
Reporter to Trump: Would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani mayoralty?
Trump: "I would. I really would. Especially after the meeting, absolutely."

Governments and administrations plan in years; states plan in decades. And the obvious planned model for the UK, Europe, USA and others is 'Israel Everywhere': fortress states secured by militarised borders where 'intruders at the gates' can be murderously laid waste because not-people, not-life.
On both sides of the Altantic, within and without bodies like the UN, EU and NATO, developed countries are eager to return to Hobbes's State of Nature as pretext for their response to climate crisis, and Israel is useful for establishing the worst of what states can get away with in that paradigm.
This is only a failure if you assume the purpose was to prevent genocide and uphold the international legal framework. If instead the purpose all along was to give America whatever it demands with a minimum of domestic political damage, then I’d say it’s been at least a partial success.

I'm just living out that meme about how once you reach a certain level of familiarity with tech you go back to living with a landline, a laser printer and a shotgun to shoot either if they start making the wrong noise. I've *seen* what you can do with even scraps of incidental data outside the home.
