I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

Framing, New York Times, framing... When you win an absolute majority (50.4%), you are *entitled* to deliver on your mandate, it's got nothing to do with being"emboldened" (like a... radical, right?)

It's too bad that the republicans, which control every branch of government, can't figure out a way to keep the government open.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Anyone who uses the term 'DEI' in British politics is clearly importing their culture war labels from America. 'EDI' is the much more common version here in my experience. Going to start my campaign for British language for British culture wars.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

I don’t think you can run this story without making clear, in both the headline and the lede paragraph, that there is no evidence for what Trump is alleging. Pushing this down to the second paragraph is not good enough www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

President Trump’s remarks, suggesting that diversity in hiring and other Biden administration policies somehow caused the disaster, reflected his instinct to immediately frame major events through his...

There are a lot of things I really would love to know what we call them in say, 1000 years time, but one of them is 'at what point do historians of ideas go "Nah, that's a new religion"?

One of the places I’ve departed from the “cypherpunk dream” over the years is the idea that all speech is good for a healthy democracy. I’m saying nothing that hasn’t been said before, but social media can be incredibly toxic.

rewatching FIGHT CLUB this week i was very struck by how a movie that is very plainly a critique of this vision of masculinity was taken up as a valorization of it

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

Not lost on me that it's nonprofit tech, app.watchduty.org, showing up & actually working in the midst of the LA fires (donate to them!) Meanwhile platforms fail to surface key news, vital info is paywalled... As I've been saying, we need a new tech paradigm, yesterday!

LinkedIn is cool because I was always wondering what it would be like if people I sort of knew wrote mediocre press releases about themselves.

Among the many reasons I have railed against the worship of tech leaders as “genius” business leaders is that they lack the quality possessed by most successful business leaders: discernment. Astoundingly poor judgment about the character of their colleagues. Here’s Sam Altman 2 wks ago on Elon:

There are two stages of a security career: Before you know the truth of what you read in the news on an incident, and after, when you know exactly what happened and can't say a single fucking thing.
