LLMs are used professionally by people who are basically getting paid to use it. Thatβs the opposite relationship readers have with news they value enough to pay for.

This is true, and even if we get rid of Trump, we still have to reckon with the fact that a substantial proportion of US economic and political elites were *eager* to jump on the fascism train. They will still be the same people when Trump is gone.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Also, the Pussy Hats themselves may not have changed, but they were represnetative of a larger shift within politics where suburban white female voters with college degrees became increasingly more Democratic after they had historically been swing voters.

America 2026: Yesterday at the dog park, a lovely gentleman in a "deport the fascists" hat was handing out whistles and making sure everyone knew what to do if ICE showed up in the parking lot (calmly leash your dog, help others gather their dogs, leave through the back exit, record everything)

Poll Shows Massive Participation in Minnesota Shutdown Against ICE
1 in four Minnesota voters took part in January 23 day of action, or had a loved one who did.
A new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social
