One of the best contemporary commentators on war and tech. This looks essential!
My book comes out next week.
Something like this cannot be written without the help and support of a lot of good people.
So I'd like to publicly acknowledge and thank them for all our good conversations.
A lot of them are here on BluSky but I am not going to tag them all.

(3) What he says is! it exists!!! But it only is until he says the opposite... Tariffs are here and have changed the post-1979 neo-liberal global system ... then tariffs are paused and negotiable and everyone who has banked, guessed, commentated and changed their mind is wrong ..

(1) The markets and commentators make the mistake of thinking what Trump says is real... hence the crash and recovery and panicked analyses of the global impact. They all make the mistake that #shardedmedia by myself and

Trump's attack on Higher Education speech, DEI, etc. is just doing exactly what Curtis Yarvin suggested he do ... This is an assault on 'the Cathedral'. And it's still not yet April. ... From our 'Sharded Media' book... @andrewhoskins.bsky.social
