Many books have been written about how foolish Musk was when he acquired Twitter. But instead, they should be arguing that it was a shrewd decision that set him up for the manipulation of public opinion. Listen to Ben Tarnoff and Quinn Slobodian on our latest episode, Muskism pod.fo/e/659efc

new @thedigradio.bsky.social is v good. nice to hear it said clearly that the aim of the ai takeover isn’t ‘nobody has to work!’ it’s that capital no longer needs labour and thus labour has much less power over capital

There's an asymmetry between the scales of operation of capital and municipal government - and because of that cities have had to figure out growth models. What they've landed upon has been forever appreciating property values. pod.fo/e/5ebd27

White flight suburbanization, which was subsidized by the federal government, drew capital out of Black urban spaces - taking wealth outside of their jurisdictions and making it harder to provide social services. And that speaks to a broader problem facing the left. pod.fo/e/5ebd27
