There is something wonderful about living in a world where, whether etched into knackered slabs of dusty vinyl sixty years ago, or a swirling stream of immersive audio data created yesterday, music still has the power to make me feel my life has changed utterly on a regular basis.

noah smith used to regularly DM me about the fact that his silicon valley venture capitalist buddies were going off the right-wing deep end because they were afraid they would get MeTooed for the fact that promotions for young employees at the startups they were funding were gated by sex
he once DM’d me and a couple of other people to tell us that we were wrong for calling him dumb about lab leak conspiracies and that some people he knew were working on a story that would make it crystal clear and it that was getting ready to drop soon, this was like, 2021, maybe earlier

"Israeli Genocide is fine; walls of dead kids is fine; its kids learning about it that is bad": Sarah Hurwitz.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.

On the plus side, Nick Clegg's house in California looked terrific.
Meta was aware that millions of adult strangers were contacting minors on its sites; that its products exacerbated mental health issues in teens; and that content related to eating disorders, suicide, and child sexual abuse was frequently detected, yet rarely removed.

I thought it was extremely telling in Celebrity Traitors that the one British journalist on the show was so bereft of ideas & curiosity, that a rugby player and an actor said to her face on multiple occasions 'You literally never have an opinion on anything'

Just so: the financial crisis laid waste to Thatcherism but our politicians and media are all Thatcherites, so they have spent all the time since desperately trying to prop up the Thatcherite consensus. Doing this has led them to the verge of fascism.

Just to echo Rodent, UK politics makes much more sense if you understand it as Thatcherism collapsing in 2008 but persisting as gospel among the elites, who then spent the next two decades setting up various scapegoats to slaughter and then go, "Whoops. Turns out the blood is in another neck!"
I am not going to tell you my ideas are for def 100% the solution but I am going to say that it was crystal clear ten years ago that migrant-squealing Thatcherite centrism was a democratic disaster, and the lads spent that entire time screeching and gargling to protect it.

Stewart Lee: A pile of toxic filth has been dumped in the British countryside. It put me in mind of Nigel Farage
The fly-tipping in Oxfordshire is threatening the health of the local river – just as 25 years of platforming the Reform leader in the media has polluted our national discourse
