4/ consequences on his companies. I'd love it if Musk had failed. But he didn't. He achieved a massive amount and he's still the muscle behind DOGE. I think this is all to throw people off Musk's scent.

2/ a slew of criminal laws. And he tired of it when his antics started running existential risks for his companies. There's no morality tale here about Washington being a harder beast to tame or whatever other bullshit. He's a destructive crook and he needs to be held accountable.

I wrote about how Trump is destroying American democracy, along with eight crucial lessons about how to counteract it, drawing on my 14 years of studying brave pro-democracy opposition movements in authoritarian regimes across the globe. We’re in serious trouble, but there’s still hope.
Is American democracy doomed?

I’ve temporarily taken the paywall off this article, in the hopes that it can raise awareness about how to push back effectively against Trump—and also how to understand the world we’re heading toward: competitive authoritarianism.

Deny unanimous consent. Demand and use every second they have to delay. Draw the process out and let negative press and public protest build. Refuse to act like any of this is normal and help convince people it’s a crisis.

Great piece from Alan Sepinwall about Arcane, a gorgeous, entertaining mess of an animated series on Netflix (we loved it!)
I wrote about Arcane, the frequently stunning, occasionally too ambitious for its own good, exceedingly thrilling video game adaptation that wrapped up its two-season Netflix run last month:
'Arcane: League of Legends' Makes Art Out of Chaos
The animated adaptation on Netflix sometimes tries to do too much, but it's all executed beautifully.

Alternate headlines, all taken from quotes in this story:
“What the hell is going on here?”
"Was I killing people?"
“How the fuck did this go on for so long?”
“It’s for their comfort... It’s not that I euthanize them.”
“It depends on what you mean by killing them.”
