Alex / catileptic@baldur I think that Meredith Whittaker's talk from this year's CCC Congress (38c3) might be a good companion to these thoughts: https://media.ccc.de/v/38c3-feelings-are-facts-love-privacy-and-the-politics-of-intellectual-shame
It speaks about this concept of "the politics of intellectual shame" and how the tech industry profit-making is predicated on shaming people into quiet cooperation or support.

Dan GillmorNY Times downplays Trump/Vance incitement to violence
There goes the NY Times again, downplaying the reality of what Trump/Vance stand for. "Combative conservatism" is bended-knee journalistic weakness, and this "Political Memo" is standard-issue in the genre the Times has mastered. (I'm not linking to it.) The reality of Trump/Vance is that they are planning a dictatorship. They've made that absolutely clear. They are, for all practical purposes, outright fascists.

Melissa RyanClaudine Gay pens an essay about her resignation. Everyone should read and absorb this paragraph. Because it encapsulates everything that the next year is going to be.
