@ghelt "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" Attributed to Henry II re: Thomas à Beckett, the (soon to be assassinated as a result) Archbishop of Canterbury.
There are narratives forming & reforming in media/culture constantly, like quicksilver, & the right has built an enormous media apparatus that can opportunistically seize on & reinforce them. Trying to understand that fluid process through the lens of "issues" is so ... boomer.
Even in the most old-school, paradigmatically *physical* sectors like drilling, sensors & software are changing everything. As I wrote in 2018 (!), "energy is becoming a software business." vox.com/2016/6/15/1192…
Some hype for the coming "hydrogen economy" & the beneficial electrification it will enable, from NYT ... in 1974. Read this. It is *wild* how much of this you could reprint today without changing a word. Wild. nytimes.com/1974/05/12/arc…
One answer to @brianbeutler's question about why Dems refuse to use theater & exploit media to advance their goals: there is a vast squadron of Very Savvy quasi-left types who would immediately scold & decry it, including some nepo-baby publishers. offmessage.net/p/democrats-ca…
Currently @edzitron is doing a series on how tech has been taken over by a sociopathic management-consultant class that has not built anything, doesn't give a shit about "users," & is enshittifying everything in pursuit of short-term profits. wheresyoured.at/the-great-loot…
Oh, I should have added "higher education" to the list of traditions & institutions being enshittified by the management class. hamiltonnolan.com/p/college-is-a…
When non-political people interview the president, they're actually eager to find out what he's doing & how it affects ordinary people. With political interviews, it's just an insular guild pursuing its own internal incentives, trying to get micro-scoops to win the morning.
Once you notice you can't unnotice: for probably the last decade or two, presidential interviews with entertainment figures, podcasters, groups of voters, or other randos ... are *far more substantive & informative* than "official" interviews with political journalists.
Adding: I guarantee that Biden's interview with Stern is going to be more informative on things voters actually care about than an NYT interview would be, for the simple reason that Stern is not part of the insular, fart-sniffing, self-dealing political media club.

“Donald Trump is nothing if not a dreamer. In seeking to return to the Presidency, it’s as though he has reimagined America as a kingdom and himself the king, an absolute ruler whose actions, no matter how sordid, cannot be stopped or subject to prosecution in a court of law. And…
“Perhaps the biggest irony is that, because Biden’s DOJ was so concerned about avoiding the appearance of politically motivated prosecutions, it took almost his entire term to get the case against Trump this far; if Trump wins the election, U.S. v. Trump will fade, but Trump v.…

Can’t believe how quickly this generation of college students went from being characterized as lazy, unmotivated and unprepared to accomplish anything to a posing such a threat to their elders that they must be subdued by snipers and cops with cuffs and clubs.

I realize that many people want to be part of the Great Drama That Explains Their Anger, but "I grew up in a nation at war" is risible bullshit for anyone younger than, like, 70. /6x
Some of you think this demeans the service of volunteers. I'm simply stating the obvious: No one's had to fight who didn't join up. Everyone else could live their whole life blissfully unaware - as too many Americans have - of what's going on overseas. /5
Yes, 9/11 was a terrible day if you were old enough to remember it. But most people have not been touched by anything that followed it in anything but the most tangential way. Taking your shoes off at the airport (while indulging the luxury of flying) is not being "at war." /4
People also seem to have forgotten the scale of the butcher's bill in Vietnam. Not only was no one drafted, but *20 years* of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan produced fewer than half as many casualties as Vietnam generated in *1968 alone*./3
I mean, normally, that might seem like a left-wing criticism, no? But I don't think it's either left/right, but just *true* in an empirical sense. A tiny fraction of the country serves in the military. We have not been a country "at war" in any meaningful sense since Vietnam. /2
I'm (a little) surprised at people who want to take issue with me and who insist that Americans, as a nation, really suffered through Afghanistan and Iraq, when the criticism I'm making is that we offloaded all that onto volunteers and then ignored them (and the wars). /1

And while we're on the subject of cults and supremacists, Smotrich's rabbi -- who was a refugee from the Nazis -- is an extremist Jewish supremacist who believes not only that killing Arabs is good, but that Palestinian prisoners should be used in Israeli medical experiments.…

This view is held by a lot of people who support Israeli atrocities, by the way. Jared Kushner's rabbi also promotes hateful views like Kissinger's, which appallingly blame Jewish people for the Holocaust.
Understanding this Israeli leadership's contempt for Holocaust survivors is crucial to understanding why they are carrying out a genocide. These Israelis see themselves as militarized and violent specifically so that they will never be in the same category as Holocaust survivors.…
It's helpful to read about Benzion Netanyahu, Benjamin's father, whose activism was based on Revisionist Zionism, maintaining that Palestine should not exist -- that Palestinians should be eliminated from the land entirely -- and that Jordan should also be taken over by Israel.…
When you understand that Israel is led by people who have no respect for Holocaust survivors, by people who descend from those who supported the first Nakba, you understand the arrogance and entitlement.
The answer is that the Israelis leading this genocide are not descendants of Holocaust survivors. Netanyahu's family wasn't even in Europe during the Holocaust. Ben Gvir's family wasn't in Europe. Smotrich's family wasn't in Europe. All of their families were settlers in…
As a Jew, I keep thinking that this horror is the evilest possible legacy of the Holocaust, that it could warp history in such a way that the descendants of those they tried to exterminate would themselves commit genocide. It’s so perverse it takes your breath away.
If you can murder a child, then nothing you believe matters.
It just annihilates meaning, because everything I was raised to believe—tikkun olam, never again—is revealed as vacant.
