iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The first WPC book (which includes essays from loads of people I have deep respect for) would've never happened if not for that era. And chatting with Ed Yong in a rabbit hole on Google+ was amazing. Good times.

Is he so deluded he believes what he's saying or is he so deluded he believes he can still get enough people to believe him?

They really scooped the Chronicle today

The Chronicle covered Newsom signing a bill reining in sexual assault lawsuits over child sexual abuse, while the NYT covered his theatrics

Abolish the death penalty (and ICE).

This right here. No AI is ever gonna rage against the dying of the light.

Schmidt is awful, but Hawley is gonna be tough to beat.

Our state and national pols may not be the worst in the nation, but they are clearly gunning for the title.

"The episode was arguably terrible timing for Schmitt professionally, coming just hours after Axios reported the MO Republican could be a possible contender to be a running mate to VP Vance should he run for president in 2028. Schmitt ended his line of questioning by calling Smith “a dirtbag.” LOLOL

"But the last sense in which the ship has sailed, I think, is the more controversial one. Society, which was always our main point of leverage, is tired of hearing about the climate. In rich countries—the UK, the U.S., France, Germany, Sweden—societies are done with this climate stuff."

Our paywall is down until October 5th! Plenty of time to read your fill of @prospectmagazine.co.uk So why not start with my deep dive on Israel's election, a central question being: how much will change, in Gaza, in the West Bank, if Netanyahu does lose? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/israel...

Inside the battle to oust Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel is more divided than ever, perpetually at war, a global pariah— and it’s going to the polls. The alternatives may not offer that much hope

So....there's a lot of tea spilled about a lot of media outlets' willingness to be tools of corporate propaganda in my book. In hindsight, I probably should NOT have been surprised that many of those same outlets declined to run op-eds pegged to the book. But I kinda was! What thin-skinned babies!

Relatedly, and top of mind coming on the heels of New York Climate Week: a lot of y'all's climate favorites are fucking grifters who care more about building their platforms than anything else. People, we gotta get better at media literacy and critical thinking 💪
