Yes. We are not thinking deeply enough about this.

There is an irony here - the same techbros who flooded the internet with lies to make money on social media are going to lose money on AI because it can't work out what's true.

This looks like an AI fail, but I’ll take it. 😂

I was brought up to regard English literature as a kind of secular religion. I never doubted that poetry and novels contained the meaning of life I wrote this about the tragedy of the subject's decline and the dawn of a world in which nobody reads newstatesman.com/culture/books/…

‘Fixing Britain’ (is what he should be saying).

Great piece. The top of the contemporary art market has been driven by speculation for about two decades. If that’s over, good.

Russia's greatest asset.

Currency is a fundamental part of government. Trump’s own crypto grift means he can’t see how this damages both the dollar and his own government.

I really like the Not Another One podcast - probing and varied political discussion, but with an emphasis on light rather than heat. Rare these days!

And this will be the problem. (Empiricism is our only hope!)

There is a lot of nostalgia for the "end of history" moment at the end of the 1990s but a lot of the ills of modern society can be traced to that era of complacency and spiritual vacuousness thetimes.com/comment/column…

This gets to the heart of it. Trump is more likely to listen to other governments than his own. The question is, why?

What a loss. Heard him playing Schubert once, in a Swiss church. A properly sublime experience.

The Trump regime is deliberately deploying ICE agents at immigration hearings so they can more easily detain migrants. Armed, masked men abducting people from courthouses —and arresting those who ask why — is the stuff fascism is made of.
