“Hype is eating the future, and leaving us the bones.” Sun-ha Hong of UNC-Chapel Hill says the Silicon Valley hype machine systematically “borrows credibility from the future to purchase legitimacy in the present.” The cost, he argues, is a planetary-scale drain on our alternatives.

Tech Hype is Cannibalizing the Future

Every day, we are told that we live in the future—but hype is eating the future and leaving us the bones," writes Sun-ha Hong.

This Day in Labor History: September 5, 1934. The governor of North Carolina called out the National Guard to aid mill owners in the textile strike overtaking their state and the east coast. Let's talk the critical 1934 textile strike and the state repression of it that forced FDR to pass labor law!

The same KFF/WaPo 2025 survey on MAHA found 30% support among Black respondents, of course that's less than among white people but it's not "very few."

I've covered local government meetings for over 20 years, in a city where the mayor notoriously makes up rules to curb anything critical of city hall, especially clapping. So, it's worth a quick🧵 on how governments use rules of decorum to intimidate the public, even to throw opponents in jail.

They didn't just reject defunding, they rejected any significant reforms. Dems should be looking at law enforcement institutions the way Republicans look at public education.

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.
