He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them.

Some thoughts on the slim prospects for anonymizing the Trump jurors, and what it means for the case. open.substack.com/pub/julian…

I know you’re not supposed to care about tweets but yet again, look at the ratio on this. Literally thousands of replies pushing Great Replacement conspiracy thinking, some rationalizing violence. Prominent racists like Sailer amplifying and people thanking Elon for spreading it

The obvious reason why it's important to try Trump before the election is that it's important that he face a trial for his attempt to overturn the 2020 election, and if he wins, that won't happen.

The protection is your ability to leave & take your $ with you. That & your handbook or other contract laying out terms you AGREE to.

A great in-depth interview with @SteveReich in @FT @FinancialTimes today, in which the composer talks about his early life, obsession with Stravinsky, and recent inspirations.

Right-wingers are just saying with their whole chest now that immigrants are "the destruction of our civilization." No one seems to remember but 5-10 years ago this stuff was the province of neo-Nazis. No pretense of caring about jobs or anything like that, it's just the 14 words

God this is so good
I wrote about the soul-sucking labor of self-promotion and "audience building" that basically every artist/journalist/creative worker has to do now ... unless they are very lucky vox.com/culture/2024/2/1/240…

Underrated: journalists skew college educated, cosmopolitan, and white collar. All of which correlates to thinness and good health relative to the gen pop. And this, shall we call it “class-based health privilege,” shaped the tenor of the reaction to the new weight loss drugs.
What If Ozempic Is Just a Good Thing?

I actually can’t get over this quote from Hamas, a profoundly misogynist fundamentalist organization that no one disputes has *murdered* women, including a grandmother whose family learned of her death after Hamas used her phone to upload a photo of her body to her Facebook.

A lot of commentators tonally go back and forth between condescending assertions of expertise when they encounter someone less credentialed, and populist "little guy" rhetoric when encountering someone more credentialed. The common throughline is the fascination with status.

We're now into February — and more than three weeks since the expedited arguments were held lawdork.com/p/dc-circuit-tru… — with no DC Circuit immunity decision. As @kyledcheney and @joshgerstein laid out yesterday, every day is a gift for Trump. politico.com/news/2024/01/31…

I know I keep saying this, but he really is our worst senator. And yes, I know how bad some of the other senators are.

I got to do it today. A lawyer's dream. I asked a falsely pious person who testified that the 10 commandments were the most important thing in his life to simply "Name them"
He was unable.

SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
TRUMP TRIED THIS
IT GOT BLOCKED
TRUMP HAD TO TRY A BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF
TRUMP SPENT THE FIRST HALF OF 2019 FREAKED OUT ABOUT HOW HIGH BORDER APPREHENSIONS WERE
In 2018, Trump tried to use an authority that Johnson has cited to curtail border crossings. But a federal appeals court ruled that the authority conflicts with asylum law and the authority doesn’t override it, underscoring the limits of the president. cnn.com/2024/01/31/politics/…

There needs to be a civics textbook for social media.
For example, many express strong opinions about the First Amendment (like those who say "can't shout fire in a theater") who are factually wrong. Conversation between the educated and ignorant results in condescension.

Counterpoint: Witches aren't real and judicial murder is bad actually.
ALT Harrison H. Smith says "If you want to know how effective and long-lasting propaganda can be, just think about the fact that 400 years later, people still think the Salem Witches were innocent. The Myth: Tituba, the servant girl from the West Indies was accused because she was powerless, an outsider with no ability to fight back against her accusers. The Reality: Tituba literally admitted to practicing witchcraft, summoning a demon, and teaching other girls."

Now that the cat's out of the bag, let me tell you something.
This company worked its news and audience reporters to the bone over the last eight months. I wrote 630+ stories in that time, most of them were just copying and pasting work that other reporters put time and 1/?

If you want to check out legislation ACTUALLY written to help kids, instead of performative anti-Tech grandstanding that disappears the First Amendment, @RonWyden is once again doing the work while people pretending to care about kids look for media hits:
