I know you probably do not want to read another article about American Canto. I certainly didn't think I wanted to read another article about American Canto. But this is, in fact, the best article I've yet read about American Canto.
The Nuzzi discourse was missing a fleshed out critique by a very smart person of what the stylistic elements of American Canto say about Olivia’s mindset and @cd_hooks delivered https://t.co/t1gZ9QJ8qd

Given that this has been true for at least a decade, I’m not sure why so many people are acting like it’s sudden. There are walking, talking, reading, writing 10-year-olds younger than this news.
U.S. showing signs of "rapid authoritarian shift," civic freedoms report warns.

So it’s basically a tourism ban. Cool cool cool
Insanely, submitting your past 5 years' social media to enter the U.S. as a tourist is only a small part of the proposed upcoming requirements. You'll also need to give your DNA (!) among many other new requirements. All the additional info you'll need to give as a tourist

I'm sure that streamlining AI data center construction without streamlining the construction of new sources of power will go great for low-income residents and the parties in power where companies build those data centers.

that's on you bitch
The Right’s media apparatus is how the Right teaches its followers how to think, and it’s currently getting consumed by conspiracy, psychodrama, and tabloid conflicts. If left unchecked, it will turn the audience into the equivalent of a Third World click farm.

There's zero upside for the US, sorry. The most we can hope is that China's boomer leadership blocks them for us, but I'm not betting on it. At minimum Chinese chip makers will buy H200s to strip them for HBM3E to reverse engineer and put into Huawei chips.
Is there any steel man case for this at all? Could it delay a Chinese manufacturing shift to their own indigenous super advanced chips? Please tell me that there’s a silver lining, otherwise I’m very doomer pilled

Republicans got 80%+ of the federal campaign spending by the 100 wealthiest Americans in 2024. That year, the 100 richest Americans gave Trump himself 15x as much than during his 2016 campaign.
How billionaires took over American politics Concentration of wealth among the USA richest unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics. USA has 342M people—only 902 billionaires. It's over when we say it's over. 🎁🔗 https://t.co/s5EnUyjSWh

"An FT analysis of federal procurement data shows ICE has spent at least $353mn on surveillance contracts this year, up 27 per cent from 2024." They're using IRS data, proving that they're arresting taxpayers.

ICE's own data shows that two-thirds of the people they've arrested have no criminal convictions. Yet they claim they're pursuing “the worst of the worst.”

"More than a dozen former senior government officials familiar with Trump’s deportation push spoke with the FT. Many raised fears that surveillance tools may soon be used on left-wing groups and protestors who ICE claims are threats to its agents."

I would be more forgiving of someone who took accountability than someone who blames something external for their actions.
