Another important piece from @masnick.com, whose paper "Platforms not Protocols" inspired @bsky.app. "Despotification" is Masnick’s new term for platforms leveraging market concentration, lack of credible exit, and algorithmic recommendations to seize political power.

This sort of reaction has to be taken seriously. The Silicon Valley model of what it means to be human - an information conduit in skin with passive pleasure receptors taped on - is bullshit.
At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Change will be hard. Many corporate Dems and centrists will wet their beds and cry. They will do everything to keep their feathered nest. It's time to clean house and make life uncomfortable for them. It's the only way for us to have a chance. www.axios.com/2026/03/08/d...

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

“Democrats frittered away momentum for combating plutocracy through a relentless focus on playing by the old rules of policy debate. The result was a catastrophe out of which almost nothing lasting was achieved.” www.bostonreview.net/articles/a-r...

The Dems don’t need to move more center. That’s where they ARE. The party needs to be WAY MORE PROGRESSIVE!! PERIOD. We have a FEW wonderful progressive leaders sprinkled in with a horde of NEOLIBS. THAT is the DEM machine. THAT got us HERE. @kenmartin.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)
