“you could simply describe Trump as a never-ending poop cruise, guaranteed to create new content daily. And I don’t know how Licht can solve that systemic problem, with or without Trump.”
#CNN
I have ideas in the next post…

vox.com/2022/8/26/2332…
Imagine a network that filled those no-breaking-news hours with mind-blowing civic education and systems-level narratives. Examples: What @maddow did with #Ultra. @doctorow dissections of the #enshittification of big tech and media. @HC_Richardson-style historical parallels…
Explaining how fascism works and why it works, the Tolerance Paradox, etc. Blowing the minds of white suburban people (like me!) with the history of redlining and stories like this…
Spotlighting the top OSINT researchers like @jimstewartson who battle in obscurity against powerful people and psyop narratives crafted by nation-states…
Interviewing regular people in Kyiv- who get on tech design spec conference calls just hours after air raid sirens and then work on drone design on weekends (they inspire me daily!)…
… setting up a debate between @StephanieKelton and Lawrence Summers about #MMT and the #ScarcityMyth … a deep-dive on #economic factors like oligopoly-induced inflation…
👆 Dear #CNN, BREAKING NEWS is a sugar rush. Explaining the systems-level narratives that explain the modern world, and that build our civic muscle, would be a worthy project for these 24-hour “news” channels. ffs help us save #democracy, ok? …
The BREAKING NEWS model was perfect for the first Iraq War. That was 30 years ago. It’s time to evolve. It’s so small-minded to think of just cable news as the offering. Think also about the *promise* of Facebook and Twitter, how they spoiled the opportunity, and what is possible
Yes! 👆👇

The #SAGAFTRAstrike could be a catalyst toward creator-collective production. Applied to entertainment 👇and also per above then to news. 👆

The #BorderCrisis is part of Putin's war against the US. I fear it could enter a kinetic phase.

Now Republicans are helping Putin with the #border and it's scary AF. Receipts and videos 1/10 🧵

First, here's a photo of Greg and his friend. They sure seem nice.

Greg's transportation network drops people off in far-away US cities.
It could be redeployed to strategically disperse Russians and their agents. Why do I say that? ... 2/10

Mexico is crawling with Russian spies. 3/10

A friend asked, "Who are the #accelerationists?"

Basically, people who want to burn it all down so they can usher in something “better”. They don’t all have to agree on what comes next. So the clever ones can manipulate the naive into strange and dangerous alliances.🧵
... Bring about Armageddon? Let’s accelerate that! End the US dollar so we can have financial liberty with crypto and gold? Let’s go! Speed up capitalism so we can get to Mars and fulfill our destiny as a multi planetary species - no time to waste...
... Keep fossil fuels in the Earth? That will only slow down the engines of 'progress'! Break the government? It was filled with corrupt leftists anyway! Pit the Jews and the Arabs against each other? The Battle of Gog and Magog will soon be here, and Christians will be saved!...

THIS IS HUGE.
@judgeluttig, whom Pence turned to for legal advice on 1/6 AND Laurence Tribe AND Federalist Society scholars agree
that the 14th Amendment already disqualifies Trump.
Cc @MuellerSheWrote
But who will enforce it? Read on (quoting the Federalist Society profs)...
Do we need help from Congress? No.

Is a conviction required? No!
"Innocent until proven guilty" is the standard for prison.
The standard here is different. Image

Anyone else tired of this highway to dystopia? Here’s the deal:
Tech scales. Looking back, you know what we scaled? Advertising.
Synonym for advertising? Manipulation.
Thought it was sneaker companies and your benign democratic leaders that had your data? 1/🧵
Well, yeah, but also billionaires and Putin and MBS.
And now AI will push even more drivel and deep fakes and phishing and disinfo at us. Hmmm… 2/
How about if instead we move from a PUSH Internet (bombarding us with whatever garbage) to a PULL Internet (curating a safe and prosocial experience… that scales). 3/

I’m not done reading Resisting AI by Dan McQuillan but already must recommend it. Here’s just one passage:

“[Narxcare] trawls medical and other records to assign patients an Overdose Risk Score. One classic failing of the system has been misinterpreting medication…” 1/4
that people had obtained for sick pets; dogs with medical problems are often prescribed opioids and benzodiazepines, and these veterinary prescriptions are made out in the owner’s name. As a result, people with a well-founded need for opioid painkillers for…” 2/4
serious conditions like endometriosis have been denied medication by hospitals and by their own doctors. The problems with these systems go even deeper; past experience of sexual abuse has been used as a predictor of likelihood to become addicted to medication,” 3/4
