@kabinettskriege.bsky.social having now finished INFANTRY IN BATTLE: 1733-1783, I have one very important question.
When is the ebook coming out? I don't want to have to ILL this every time I want to read it, and I'm not exactly overflowing with shelf space in my grad student apartment & office.

It's another case study for how market based solutions often involve destabilising knock-on effects not properly anticipated by those hostile to state ownership
I had missed this in the FT from @marietjeschaake.bsky.social, on digital sovereignty, the European digital stack, dependence on US tech—and the example of Solvinity, the cloud company that hosts all Dutch citizens’ digital IDs, acquired by US company Kyndryl last November.
Tech sovereignty is an inherent right of democratic states, not a subscription model provided at the mercy of foreign entities.
Decisions about true value of sovereignty will determine whether countries retain meaningful autonomy or become clients of foreign imperialism.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.
I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

Imagine every mistake you’ve made at work being broadcast in public - that’s what social media managers have hanging over them every time they publish a post
A single bad post or even a like given to the wrong account can cause a PR crisis

because intelligent, interrogative interviewing can get you shut out of access, most U.S. media - especially TV news - actively *discourages* it in political reporting. Contrast the UK, where the unavoidable status of the BBC paradoxically meant it could be much bolder, setting the norm for others.
like i'm not trying to be mean to op here but Isaac is literally a good interviewer who can use subtext and knows what he's trying to get at. This is the baseline competency I'd expect most access reporters to be at in a normal universe. But we don't live in that.

"Efforts to remove unhoused people will focus on the security perimeters of Olympic venues, according to the report."
For many of the major venues, what's been discussed has been a one-mile radius. For the Figueroa/Expo Park cluster, that would encompass huge sections of downtown and South LA
