"When world historians tell the story of 2025, it will be about the passing of technological, and hence economic, and hence political leadership from the U.S. to China, in the span of eight months. The tape of this address will be the easiest way to explain" why. @billmckibben.bsky.social

It’s gone forever obviously, but in 2015 during breaking news you could turn on CNN, you could check the mono-Twitter timeline and maybe the left/right wings of online discourse and have a pretty good read on what “reality” was, but now everything is so fragmented it’s hard to know what’s what.

If you post a story with an AI-created image, I’m not going to read it, I don’t care how inspirational it is. If I can’t trust the image to be real, how am I supposed to trust the story to be real?

My latest newsletter takes a deep dive into Alex Cooper and her continued affiliation with Barstool Sports, and why that makes a partnership with the NWSL especially ill-advised for a league attempting to re-brand after multiple sexual and workplace abuse scandals.
why the NWSL’s “Call Her Daddy” partnership is worse than you think
a league-affiliated supporters group? with alex cooper? yikes.

So much political discourse right now in the US is boiling down to "I didn't believe the bleeding person who told me the wolf at the door was dangerous to me. Because I thought the wolves only hunted them." And I don't know what people think can happen as long as that is still the conversation.

It’s hard to think of a single act by a single human that instantly damaged as many plans, careers, dreams in as many places around the globe

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
