I have a piece in the @nytimes.com about the four shows that predicted the American collapse. The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men. Which one was closest? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/o...

Opinion | The Four TV Shows That Heralded America’s Fall
Four TV shows, now acknowledged as the medium’s high point, each cannily predicted the ways in which America would start to crack apart.

Canada stared down Trump and after all his threats and insults it was clear he didn't have a plan B. The United States is an isolated and weakened empire. Check out my interview with @stephenmarche.bsky.social of the Gloves Off podcast. youtu.be/71DHhOnJ1j0?...

I'll never not be flabbergasted by our govs (municipal, prov, fed) procuring companies that aren't within our own regions. This became super salient during the height of the pandemic and where we get our meds/supplies from. Canada being on US tech stack is just bonkers to me. This is a must-watch.
