It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

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

this is interesting in part because this is, uh, not the young guns.
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

This is a floating signifier of sorts that will be used to target anyone the fascists see as a threat to their power.

I’ve been in charge of the pumpkin pie since I was like 13, one Thanksgiving when I was an undiagnosed ADHD 17 year old, I mixed up the sugar and salt amounts and added a cup of salt. It looked perfect, but tasted most foul. I got shit for a decade after that, but they still trusted me w/ the pie 🤷♀️

One Thanksgiving we were in the garage, I dared my brother to bite down on the handle of a power sander and turn it on. He did.
One Emergency Room visit and one concussion later, and I was in Big Trouble with Mom.
