The Washington Post Is No Longer Useful to Jeff Bezos
In a kleptocracy, there is no reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet.

Red Line Chicago Transit train is as packed as any weekday rush hour. My assessment is that the vast majority of these folks are on the way to the anti-ICE rally downtown.
I’m proud to be doing that myself. I hope our actions can preserve our right to peaceable protest in the U.S.A.

Of all the competitive authoritarian developments of the past year I think the fall of CBS News is among the most chilling. That this can happen to easily and so quickly freaks me the fuck out.
Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

A powerful argument here, relevant to all the arts.
AI Music Won’t Fix The Hardest Part Of Making A Music Career
AI Music Won’t Fix The Hardest Part Of Making A Music Career
AI music tools make it easier than ever to create finished-sounding tracks.
But making music has never been the hardest part of building a career.
Attention, discovery, and longevity are, and AI does nothing to solve those
problems.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.
But I won't back down — and neither should you.
