It's here: An absolute beast of an episode. The story of the worst speech in post-war Britain - how it came to be, what it said, and what happened afterwards.
📣 New episode out 📣 @dorianlynskey.bsky.social and @iandunt.bsky.social discuss Enoch Powell’s so-called “Rivers of Blood” speech, the explosive political speech that brought far-right ideas into the British mainstream.

The latest in a long line of terrible humans seeing if they can destroy people lives before asking if they should. If only sociopaths were seen as bad instead of rewarded.

On the day Joe Biden accuses Trump of appeasing Putin, we just happen to have a new two parter on the story of appeasement and how the pursuit of peace and justice mutated into a moral and strategic catastrophe. Part one takes us from the aftermath of the First World War to the Anschluss
🤝 New Episode Out 🤝 How did appeasement transform from a benign peace-making strategy into a moral and diplomatic disaster? Join @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social as they tell the story of the appeasement of Hitler’s Germany during the 1930s.

This post very much blew up. It's on track to be one of, if not *the* most-read on the newsletter. There are a few points I think I could have underlined better—that I think the thesis is true whether the jobs data in the pictured graph reflects AI impacts or not—but it clearly struck a nerve.
The AI jobs crisis is not coming—it's here right now. It just might not look the way many thought it would.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM
My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.
The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

"What once was Midas’s central flaw - a lack of wisdom, decency, taste, introspection - has become Modern Midases’ superpower. Trump's performative ridiculousness is his golden shield. We see him as dangerously ludicrous and miss that he's also ludicrously dangerous. We confuse asinine for anodyne."

OpenAI is using Studio Ghibli-style memes as an ad hoc promotional campaign for its new image generator—despite Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki's famous hatred of AI. Sam Altman made his X avatar a 'Ghiblified' portrait.
Disgracing Miyazaki is part of the point: It's more proof to them tech has won.

OpenAI's Studio Ghibli meme factory is an insult to art itself
Sam Altman is promoting his new image generator by appropriating the work of one of the greatest living animators—who is "disgusted" by AI.
