fighting is unethical while civilians suffer. The narrative will be disseminated not by official Moscow propagandists but by intermediaries who appear credible due to their anti-Putin stance. Their aim is to portray Ukraine's resilience as cruelty and The Kremlin's aggression as practicality.

The biggest "problem" with crypto is that it gives people what they want – unfortunately, people don't want self-custody or independence from intermediaries, but rather the current speculative financial system on steroids.
imagine there was a whole crypto-themed world where we could hang out and hear crypto guys talk about crypto! and the richest guy there does epic market manipulation and the president has his own cryptocoin and if you do a big scam he says you're not in trouble anymore!! what a beautiful dream....

I wrote the book INTERMEDIARIES and I say with certainty that #ICE is essentially equivalent to the German paramilitary Freikorps who ultimately gave rise to Nazi storm troops. This is shorthand but I’ve got the receipts in the research. brandyschillace.com/book/the-int...

We've gotten rid of most of the intermediaries—sales people, bankers, insurance brokers, and so on—who make such things easier. It's a huge problem. This is why there's such a rush to "AI," but "AI" is not an honest broker.

We are seeing more and more cases where foreign intelligence agencies use intermediaries for espionage activities. These arrests are part of our efforts to counter such operations, said Dominic Murphy, head of the London police counter-terrorism unit.

"Current attacks upon trans people bear a striking resemblance to those terrible campaigns against so-labeled aberrant lives. [...] It does not take much imagination to see the parallels today."

Went to a book event I did not run! Really interesting talk by @bschillace.brandyschillace.com at Social Refuge in Manchester on Intermediaries. New book about the sexologists and a trans woman in Weimar Republic in 1920s & what happened next. Unfortunately a warning for our times. 🏳️⚧️⚧️

The first is that, for various reasons—including the growing distance of WWII and the declining relevance of traditional intermediaries like television anchors and editorial boards—hateful and violent speech targeting Jewish people is now expressed more widely and openly. Eg on YouTube, X, podcasts.

Religion was basically humanity’s first conspiracy theory. It gave the priestly class tremendous power by offering simple answers to complex phenomena (rain, thunder, etc.) & positioning themselves as intermediaries to the supernatural. When the last believer dies, it becomes mythology.

I think he's wrong about degree of Russian influence on EU referendum result. I think it was indirect, but not negligible. Through various intermediaries, it provided Johnson et al with the tools and a methodology to select groups of susceptible voters and target them with tailored disinformation.

Ironically, Halligan’s prosecution of former FBI Director Jim Comey is, in part, about Comey’s alleged contacts with the media, in his case through intermediaries. No intermediary here! Just Halligan herself recklessly bumping up against criminal case particulars with a reporter.
