Dear Americans, I love you like a sister or brother, but I'm not following you back because my feed is already swamped with US news. I wish you every success in your struggle to reclaim Democracy!

I really like this bit from the TV show Pantheon - kinda sorta talking about A1:
"Unfortunately,
I and the others like me
cannot be trusted with this power.
We are not ghosts.
We are not aliens.
We are not machines.
We are not gods.
We are you."

My question is why the media happily ran after every "flooding the zone with shit" play from MAGA Alberta while ignoring the obvious Donbas playbook being used in Alberta.

You can scream all you want about the election being rigged, but your lawyers lost their licenses and went bankrupt. We all heard you beg for 11,780 votes. Your poll numbers are in the toilet. The economy is shot, except for your $4B grift. And Epstein is not going away.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Holding leaders accountable is European thing.
It's a South America thing.
It's an Asian thing.
But it's definitely not an American thing.
American leaders (as happening right now) are basically free to rape/pillage/rob/defraud with absolutely no accountability.
Millions in the US love that.

In a way, I totally get it that we can't react to this at all. Our culture has not educated or prepared us to process what this is. We refuse to accept that everything we do now is #exponential:
-90% good and +1% bad = exponentially worse
-90% good and +1% bad = exponentially worse

The Syrian civil war has killed hundreds of thousands, displaced millions, and caused poor health and widespread poverty—
Most of our work on war and peace focuses on the people killed directly in the fighting.

It is an interesting choice, less sophisticated than using a widely used resource in a propagandistic way as part of a series of efforts to alter perceptions of the world.... to remove information completely betrays a clear preference for blunt ignorance.
The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...
