Interesting watching the Republican Party just straight up becoming the Nazi party and our entire media ecosystem seemingly incapable of acknowledging this truth.

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for...

Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe. While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you again to evervone who took the time to write.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

I think the general internet argument view of “you have emotion about this event har har, you’re triggered, you have an emotional response to cruelty har har” has been a complete disaster for humanity both for the person being told that and for the person saying it

CBS is one of a dozen U.S. outlets that responded to authoritarianism by shifting coverage further right, which is why we're calling rounding up minorities in the middle of the night and dumping them in random countries they've never been to a "breakthrough"

I would probably be more interested in saturation coverage of SNL50 if there hadn’t been saturation coverage every ten years for many decades now. I don’t have any more nostalgia left.

In rodents, no differences were found between males and females in premature responding when the reward was food; however, when the reward was cocaine, female rats made significantly more premature responses

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

This same toxic mismanagement is happening to federal employees across the country. They were told return to office, which for many meant moving, with no guarantee they would have a job even after they upended their life for it.

Greatly appreciative for all the recent tech journalism spotlighting the risks + fallacies of DOGE technocracy + AI governance. I just wish more of it acknowledged the identical arguments made over the past svrl decades abt Big Data, smart cities, dashboard governance, RAND-ified governance, etc...

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"
