“When you’ve stayed in your lane, in insulated communities, and haven’t been around a real diversity of thought, it’s genuinely shocking to discover that other voices are now being heard just as loudly. Maybe louder. And that registers as a threat rather than a correction.”
When Power Confuses Equity for a Threat
Last week, I was in New York City sitting with two Jewish leaders, talking through the polarization tearing through the Jewish community.

“For those who have always had the power of opinion, whose voices have always been heard, whose perspectives have always been centered, it can be jarring when that’s no longer automatic.”

Can’t stop thinking about @rabbisandra.bsky.social's recent piece

This seems fair and the MINIMUM place to begin to shape the future so that it serves the Common Good and NOT the insatiable GREED of a few BUNKER-ENABLED and entrenched SMALL men.
Starting January 1st, California will mandate that any use of AI-altered real estate photos in listings be disclosed, and that a link to the unaltered image be included.

It will be a criminal offense to fail to make this disclosure.

So, if Neil is correct, the logical questions become:
1.
2.
3.
If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Before this post, I shared Bregman's comments on the BBC's CENSORSHIP of his lecture.

Very much worth reading.
Here's the transcript. When I say ‘we had a convicted reality star’, you can add ‘who now rules as the most openly corrupt president in American history’ in your head.

After this, I will share Bregman's post of the linkto the lecture.

Also, consider:
1. Resharing it
2. Following Bregman if you don't do so already; he's excellent
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

My advice to him is get himself invited to her house and see how nice she'll be to him.

And this is all we need to know. The rest is BLATHER.

Question is: What's everyone else gonna do?

(My answer right now: very little if anything... probably hope someone else will have the b*lls to derail this, somehow.)
1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

I spent the first 12 years of my life on an island in the Caribbean. At that time, EL AMERIANO FEO / THE UGLY AMERICAN was a thing. Even little boys had heard of the term. I can only imagine what little boys (AND LITTLE GIRLS!) hear today.

With him on this. Perhaps, if she's really interested, she can sit down with a serious journalist for the purpose of going through each of the items he lists, and SO MANY MORE!

We can talk about that after. And yes on the partial grace.

I've NEVER heard or read of anything remotely similar to this f*ckup re Ukraine/Russia & the Convicted Felon's agents "working on peace."

The unravelling is spectacular!

US journalist Micael D. Weiss does a masterful analysis, but it's tough to keep up.
