even among really smart folks, i think ppl have greatly underestimated just how much resources the ultra-wealthy have put into culture war bullshit to get us to fight each other instead of them

You work at a call center. You just finished call #17. It was rough. The AI silently analyzing your voice detects frustration. But it doesn’t give you a break. It keeps you at your desk and makes you watch this video. “Breathe in. Imagine you’re swimming beside a sea turtle.”

Hell of a world. newrepublic.com/article/2011...

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

Excellent new book alert!

Watched JAY KELLY, which I enjoyed bc I like Clooney in everything. But also: kinda wild how Adam Sandler has like a 100% hit rate in serious roles?

And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

I’m not sure how often you get the chance to get your questions about messed up tracking at work answered, live, by a former top lawyer for the NLRB, a former Iowa AAG, and a former FTC commissioner (yours truly) but this would be a chance. Also, anonymous questions are welcome

So, there’s no matching Click and Clack. But Max wears suspenders and dreams of suing oligarchs (and has actually sued pretty much every oligarch), and I’m a tired dad with an incontinent French bulldog who has also sued said oligarchs so

I bet if they had been able to hoot and laugh at Elon musk’s cyber car antics, musk woulda given up and all this wouldn’t have happened

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from immigration detention after a federal judge's order Thursday, his attorney's office says.

When I was a judicial law clerk in Montana, Pres Bush flew into the Billings airport for a rally. I wanted to see Air Force One and asked the judge I clerked for if I could go. He said no, that it wouldn’t be appropriate. And I was just a clerk. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

If you need three pages and like 900 words of bittersweet nostalgia this morning Jose Olivarez has got you

Lina Khan’s colleague on the FTC. This is very good and is also an excellent argument for not setting people up like bowling pins ever again. No good work unprotected.

I just finished reading this article and it's very, very good. Corporate power is the problem underneath so many other problems. newrepublic.com/article/2011...

The trials in 2030: "The disease commonly known as Silent Mouthdeath that killed 14 million Americans in the winter of 2026 is being taxonomically reclassified as Poliovid. Secretary Kennedy was first made aware of Poliovid at the ribbon cutting ceremony for Arby's Beef Tallow Onion Rings in 2025."

Let’s see what the inaugural recipient of the Netflix Peace Prize has to say about it!

You have two bids for Warner brothers. Both are illegal. The fact that one deal is extremely illegal doesn’t make the other deal legal

Your reminder that Trump fired the Democratic FTC commissioner, @bedoyausa.bsky.social, who had devoted particular focus to grocery store prices.

A prescient quote from former FTC head Alvaro Bedoya writing for @newrepublic.com

Join me and @bedoyausa.bsky.social, former FTC commissioner (fired by Trump before the end of his term) for a conversation about getting outside the elite bubble, talking to folks in rural and urban areas that are struggling, and the road to populism. youtu.be/nZUMrCUFnFI?...

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

“That’s what we’re seeing with the disparity in how the C-suite is treated in the courts, and how regular people are treated in the streets.” Former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social exposes Trump’s two-tiered justice system.

The world is so heartbreaking sometimes. There’s so much unfairness. So much elevation of mediocrity because institutions fear people with guts who tell the truth. Goddamn.
