wonder whether Germans in 1933 were surprised when Himmler and Goebbels were appointed to the cabinet.

Inevitable that Bluesky would have some outages this week given a) huge increase in traffic; b) Elon's winged cuntmonkeys trying to break into it

If people are leaving Twitter, it's less because of the politics of its owner and more because of his ability. He's made a bad product, filled with bad ads, bad interactions and bad boosted content. It's a bad experience, of course people will look for something better.

NYT/Greenwald? And this guy is supposed to be their intellectual guru?
But institutions are over.
It’s all individuals now.
White House → Trump
60 Minutes → Rogan
NYT → Greenwald
NASA → Elon
So, the right approach is to ignore Wired and Scientific American. Just replace them with individual voices at 1/100 the price and 100X the quality.

Not going to bother searching fifteen years of tweets to see if OJ got days worth of content talking about other racist football hooligans in Europe that he could have found weekly, because I know there won't be any there.

As long as you don't need to open the doors on city streets, but why would a taxi need to do that? Also, as long as you don't have eyes.
Great Keith Richards anecdote at the end: theguardian.com/culture/2024…

A lot of #DayOfTheJackal seems to be about chasing up invoices. Captures the freelance life pretty well.

Don Jr on the outer, clearly
Donald Trump's plan to end the drug epidemic in America by declaring war on the drug cartels.
"We will show no mercy on the cartels."
1. "Deploy all necessary military assets, including the US Navy to impose the full naval embargo and the cartels."
2. "Guarantee that the waters of the Western Hemisphere are not used to traffic illicit drugs to our country."
3. "Order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces cyber warfare and other overt and covert actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure, and operations."
4. "Designate the major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations."
5: "Sever their access to global financial systems."
6. "Get the full cooperation of other governments to stop [the cartels], or we will expose every bribe, every kickback, every payoff, and every bit of corruption that is allowing the cartels to preserve their brutal reign."
7. "Ask Congress to pass legislation ensuring that drug smugglers and human traffickers receive the de*th penalty."
"When I'm back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again."

Free range for beating up groups where people chant offensive slogans and pull things down, is it?
Antisemites are downplaying the Amsterdam pogrom because some MTA fans reportedly chanted anti-Arab songs and tore down 🇵🇸 s. Their logic is that mass violence against an identifiable group can be explained by the wrongdoing of members of that group. There’s a word for that.
