Exceptionally well written and insightful account of his methods. I must now re-read The Path to Power.
Going to be on Twitter this weekend with @denise, @MikeElgan, and @leo.

Another hard day at the office...

/1 Is it possible to avoid this or does Trump already control enough swing state electoral college electors to win regardless of the popular vote? What will a Trump dictatorship look like? Will Russia feel free to use any weapons of any kind against Ukraine (and others)?
A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.

There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. So why is everyone behaving like normal?

@MikeElgan @CharlesFineberg What are the odds that Prigozhin is soon to have an unfortunate but terminal encounter with an open window on a high floor (or an umbrella)?

Simona Weinglass of The Times of Israel is my new hero. Her video reporting on crypto investment scams is well worth watching.

Tl;dw, it appears the biggest crypto investment scams targeting people in the UK were promoted by at least a half dozen of England's premiere football (soccer) leagues. These scammers managed to rake in at least a billion dollars, and could afford lucrative sponsorships that got their brand everywhere. As the former scammers explained, there's nothing real about the investment "earnings" shown to people who get roped into these scams: It's all just a digital mirage, and any money invested is gone.

Her video series on the BBC zeroes in on who's responsible. Involves ride-alongs with German police as they worked w/ investigators in the country of Georgia to raid call centers working the phones for these fraudsters.
