Marjorie “Jewish Space Lasers” Taylor Greene is a “hard-line Christian conservative”, according to BBC. 🤡
a number of thoughts here:
- oh my god he admit it
- what happened to the reactionary group chat?!
- commonality here is that none of these inputs will offend their sensibilities by challenging their worldview one bit
- i expect a full pivot from this class to 'filter bubbles are great, actually'
”We have a data economy that thrives on selling products we don’t need for problems we don’t have, and a public that falls for these ploys—even as we think ourselves much too clever to be fooled.”
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
Even if you call out the lies it doesn't matter, because any of the institutions responsible for any sort of accountability are completely worthless, so there's no cost to lying.
I'm working on a book proposal at the moment, the core thesis of which is "Democracy fails not when lies spread, but when verified reality can no longer alter incentive structures." and we're seeing it happen in real time. Which is good for the book, but bad for democracy.
Excellent critique of the media’s normalization of the far right.
Normalizing assassinations of heads of state/government is not a particularly wise thing to do for the stronger hegemon facing asymmetric conflicts.
Hyvä juttu @longplay.fi ltä kustannustoimittajista. Tällaista kulttuuri*journalismia* toivoisin isoilta toimituksilta lisää höttöisten puffien sijaan. www.longplay.fi/kulttuuri/ne...
The AI-induced RAMmageddon is taking the established tech we actually want—TVs, PCs, phones—all so the likes of Elon Musk can power their little deepfake porn generators.
Lisäksi Arttu Seppänen kirjoittaa hienossa esseessään Pentti Kaskipurosta ja hänen teostensa hiljaisuudesta. Kaskipuro-näyttely nyt esillä Sara Hildénin museossa. Hänen teoksiaan saa myös yhä hyvin edullisesti omalle seinälle!
Long Playn kulttuurissa tällä viikolla Sandra Hüllerin haastattelu Berliinin elokuvajuhlilta. Hüller on Euroopan tärkeimpiä näyttelijöitä, Anu Silfverbergin sanoin ylivoimainen uudessa Rose-elokuvassa.
Lisäksi tällä viikolla myös essee Wikipediasta sen 25-vuotisen taipaleen kunniaksi. Kirjoittaja on Heidi Puomisto, joka on myös itse aktiviinen Wikipedia-editori. Lisäksi esseeseen on haastateltu tutkija Salla-Maaria Laaksosta ja todellista hc-Wikipedia-editoria Zachea eli Kimmo Virtasta.
Tällä viikolla Long Playn kulttuurissa tällaista! Tämä toki vain yhden sarjakuva-asiantuntijan listaus, josta saa ja voi pitää olla eri mieltä.
Absolutely fascinating (and rather concerning): just spoke to some classic educated German middle class boomers - the ones who still read the newspaper and listen to public broadcast radio - and they had NEVER HEARD THAT AI HALLUCINATES!!
Like, they didn’t even know the concept 🤯
In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
People often talk about the "loss of trust" in institutions, but that's like a doctor telling you you're sick because you lack wellness. It says nothing of the underlying condition, just a vague definition of the symptoms.
But here’s where the debate usually gets stuck, people mistake the weather report for the mechanic’s diagnosis. Economic stagnation explains the climate, but it doesn’t explain the machine. I've spent the last couple of years thinking about the systems behind the collapse.
🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...
Mikä yhdistää Taylor Swiftiä ja Sylvia Plathia? Maggie Nelson! Anu Silfverberg haastatteli Nelsonia omaelämäkerrallisen kirjoittamisen sudenkuopista ja henkilökohtaisia asioitaan käsittelevien naisten herättämästä raivosta.

9.10. Tutkijat: Murtajakaupalla "valtava" vaikutus Suomen maineeseen
21.1. Jäänmurtajien myynti oli virhe, sanoo asiantuntija
Screenshot from BBC News live text coverage of Trump press conference: 19:27 This news conference could go on for a very long time (byline: Gary O'Donoghue, Chief North America correspondent at the White House) This is the president in his most enigmatic and expansive mood. During the campaign this used to be called "the weave" – meandering from subject to subject, often the connections not immediately obvious.
going to use "at my most enigmatic and expansive" to describe the next time I have a few too many wines
Trump amplifies post that says NATO — not China or Russia — is part of the “real threat” to America.
