The 4chanification of America
The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. βWhat you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,β says Jason Stanley, an author whoβs leaving the US because of βconcerns over fascism.β

It reminds me of something Snowden said: βWhen we know weβre being watched, we change our behavior. We lose our freedom to be creative, to be spontaneous.β That sense of being constantly visible whether itβs to algorithms, strangers, or our own curated audiences, shapes how we act in real life.
My twins were born a couple of months ago and then I discovered that @jamellebouie.net deleted his TikTok. How am I supposed to have a parasocial relationship with someone if they delete their social media.

Fallout from the inauguration yesterday: after Elon's notorious hand gesture, several large subreddits either have banned or are considering bans for links to X.com. So far I've seen r/pcgaming, r/marvelsnap, and r/liverpoolfc (shown below)

After Trump tried to illegally stay in power in 2020 I started studying WWII and the Third Reich aggressively. Here is my reading list, most of which was done via audible because I'm old and going blindish. 189 titles + π (I hope you'll tune in for This is America tomorrow) tinyurl.com/u3b79b4y

The TikTok ban permanently reshapes the ideological tilt of the online creator landscape towards the right. Cheering for it in any way is extremely shortsighted www.usermag.co/p/the-great-...
