Billionaires are the black holes of the sociopolitical universe. They hunger endlessly. Their reach extends beyond any imagination. Most importantly, they cannot be introduced to any existing stable system without inevitably destroying it.

Again, billionaires are like black holes: They have insatiable hunger. They have enormous reach. They rewrite the basic rules that apply to everything around them. Introduce one to any existing stable system will always result in that system's inevitable destruction. Always.

The incoming administration fits perfectly with 45's real estate standard operating procedures. The first step in any renovation is demolishing the existing structure. He is nominating a wrecking crew, not a Cabinet.

@briantylercohen.bsky.social - the article is about his mother disavowing this earlier email. Please, we mustn't sacrifice truth for victory. Civility, reason, logic, yes. But we cannot weaponize untruths.

Screenshot of the same NY Times article, with following paragraphs for added context, which read,

"
“On behalf of all the women (and I know it’s many) you have abused in some way, I say … get some help and take an honest look at yourself,” Penelope Hegseth wrote, stating that she still loved him.

She also wrote: “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.”

Mrs. Hegseth, in a phone interview with The New York Times on Friday, said that she had sent her son an immediate follow-up email at the time apologizing for what she had written. She said she had fired off the original email “in anger, with emotion” at a time when he and his wife were going through a very difficult divorce.

In the interview, she defended her son and disavowed the sentiments she had expressed in the initial email about his character and treatment of women. “It is not true. It has never been true,” she said. She added: “I know my son. He is a good father, husband.” She said that publishing the contents of the first email was “disgusting.”

MAGA is "political meth." I prefer to think of it as "political fentanyl" because it targets the same audience: Those who lost their jobs due to technology's inexorable March forward Those who realized being male and white wasn't enough to make it in life. Those who needed to live in fantasy.

If I had to prioritize, I'd say Citizens United was the most damaging and dangerous ruling from the Roberts court even over Dobbs and Hobby Lobby. Yes, even over Presidential Immunity. Citizens United was the first domino to topple, and it fed into all the rest.

Remember, both world wars were acknowledged as such only in hindsight. During the first years of either war, the uninvolved nations viewed those initial conflicts as "Somebody else's problem." I think it prudent to consider ourselves at the start of World War Three. As always, you do you.

I approve of what George Conway and the never 45ers are doing, but until they embrace progressive causes such as Universal Basic Income and Universal Healthcare, I don't consider them allies. Not everybody riding on this train will break bread with everybody else after we deboard.

🧵 While disproven, the moral behind this anecdote bears fealty. " When Winston Churchill was asked to cut arts funding to support the war effort, he replied: “Then what are we fighting for?” " Focused must we be on what we are willing to sacrifice in order to restore this country. 1/7

FACT CHECK: Winston Churchill on the Arts

While a quote defending the importance of the arts is frequently attributed to Winston Churchill, the legendary British prime minister never uttered this phrase.

If we want to save democracy, we have to shed many of the same norms that the GOP has: civility, appeals to the better aspects of humanity, and science. We mustn't lie. We can't make stuff up. But we have to fight fires with infernos if we want to restore the country we hold dear.

Researching and reporting my story about how truly horrible Facebook has become genuinely rattled me, and changed how I looked at the internet permanently. It's important to understand how messed up they are. www.wheresyoured.at/killingfaceb...

Yet Zuckerberg could not perpetuate these disgusting acts without the help of people like Chief Marketing Officer Alex Schultz, who saw to it that Meta shut down CrowdTangle, a public insights tool from Meta that allowed researchers to easily analyze what was happening on Facebook. Horwitz reports in Broken Code that Facebook — led by Alex Schultz — killed CrowdTangle because reporter Kevin Roose kept posting a list of Facebook’s most-engaged-with content, and that Facebook was dominated with right wing lunacy and misinformation like “Plandemic,” a COVID conspiracy film that Joel Kaplan, head of Meta’s public policy team, initially blocked the health team from removing until Roose reported that it was Facebook’s number one post.

Just to be abundantly clear, the Head of Public Policy at Facebook deliberately allowed the spread of COVID conspiracies, and would have continued to do so if a reporter hadn’t used a Facebook tool to show how popular they were, which resulted in Facebook choosing to kill the tool that allowed the reporter to find out.

The former head of MI6 Sir Richard Dearlove says Europe is no longer in a pre-war situation with Russia, but an actual war. "I don't think there's any point in beating about the bush," Europe & the US are in a "very dangerous situation." "We are in an extraordinary situation historically."
