Some of the most useful insights into what’s happening to America are coming from political analysts outside the United States. Here’s a particularly lucid essay that I think you should read.

New in PN: The tech industry will come to regret its embrace of Trump
"A comprehensive anti-corruption, pro-consumer movement would inevitably target the industry and its indifference to the harms it creates. It could be incredibly potent, and tech barons would have no one to blame but themselves."

Also we've fetishized "debate” in these spaces as some kind of civic good, when what matters is competence, trust, shared purpose. Medicine, engineering, boardrooms aren’t organized around debate or requirements of false balance. We've poisoned public discourse by insisting it be adversarial.
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

Canada has its fair share of terrible people, but the residential school deniers may be some of the worst. Acknowledging the past and ongoing violence and racism towards Indigenous people should be a bare minimum requirement of living in Canada.

Turns out they/them pronouns are useful when you want to distance yourself from responsibility for the war crimes.
Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."
