I don’t know how this perversion of our information ecosystem can ever be undone. And to think we only recently were complaining about the power of the Fox News bubble.

I’m glad national media like Politico and The Bulwark are noticing Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick’s wild smear campaign ads against challenger Bob Harvie for Pennsylvania’s swingy first district.

"Fascism Doesn’t Always Arrive by Force. Sometimes It Comes as Law" A visit to the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam showed me how changes in the law were used by the Nazis to push their agenda. It’s a warning from history we must heed before it's too late. @kimwehle.bsky.social for Zeteo:

Wow, there’s so much going on in this photo posted to Truth Social. There’s one black glove, a human printer in a pencil skirt, and random Star Wars characters behind them. Also, what does “Only Trump“ even mean??

So, late last night, the administration inexplicably decided to file a supplemental declaration to reinforce that the CNN/MSNOW/Politico ban was because of the president’s disagreement with the First Amendment-protected content of their reporting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The chaos agents are in hyperdrive, so news that a close ally of Putin spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding will get lost in the morass. ProPublica reports that among about 50 attendees, a large group of Russians were there whom the other guests did not recognize.

This applies to how news people repeat right-wing framing of “issues” that may not even exist. They are trained to trumpet headlines, and will repeat MAGA outrages until we do something make our own headlines. No wonder so many fall for Republican subterfuge. bsky.app/profile/cath...

I agree. I think people get far more disillusioned when their favorite good guys let them down. It’s either that, or they’re so naive about the groups who will come for everyones rights given the chance.

This makes sense, sort of. The theory that Bartiromo tipped off the Trump camp sounds plausible. I’m not so clear about why Fox would care about this particular instance of unprofessional behavior over any other in the last decade or two.

Ben McKenzie at “Everyone is Lying to You for Money” at Princeton Garden. His film asks why so many people eagerly trade in government-backed dollars for fake money. Some point to valid uses, but 90% of crypto’s valuation is based on enthusiasm and widespread manipulation by the industry owners.

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.
A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”
