Seeing lots of talk about my Trust Thermocline concept in relation to WaPo.
Something that's worth remembering is that trust in an emotive product is collective. It's held in an 'ambient trust commons'.
This is what contributes to catastrophic product exodus. /1

There’s always bad stuff on the internet if you look for it, but I have to admit I didn’t really grasp the extent to which literal, full-on pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler, and explicitly racist content is now genuinely popular and flourishing on X until I started reporting on it. It has become the Nazi bar.

One of the best stories I heard from the disaster zone.
There's a traditional smokehouse in Asheville called Bear's. Traditional smokers don't require electricity to run.
World Central Kitchen has been *airlifting food* to this restaurant and they've been giving people without power hot meals.
