@andrewhoskins.bsky.social and I picked up this point in our book Radical War. It isn't a surprise to me that the software optimisation tends to ignore the legal requirements that the armed forces remain accountable to their legislators and in the courts. amzn.eu/d/0WMoRjm

(1) The markets and commentators make the mistake of thinking what Trump says is real... hence the crash and recovery and panicked analyses of the global impact. They all make the mistake that #shardedmedia by myself and @andrewhoskins.bsky.social point out ...

Noticing my dissertation students are writing about #deepfakes, #mistrust, #illiberalism, I'm telling them to read at least the first chapters of Sharded Media by @andrewhoskins.bsky.social & @williammerrin.bsky.social, as the book is about more than just Trump: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Sharded Media is here 🙃 @williammerrin.bsky.social

This is an extraordinary book: turbo-written since Nov with incisive intelligence and passionate conviction. I literally couldn't put it down - read it in one sitting. #commsky this is a 'must read'. Kudos to @williammerrin.bsky.social and @andrewhoskins.bsky.social for their tour de force

Trump's attack on Higher Education speech, DEI, etc. is just doing exactly what Curtis Yarvin suggested he do ... This is an assault on 'the Cathedral'. And it's still not yet April. ... From our 'Sharded Media' book... @andrewhoskins.bsky.social

New, from me: Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America. Here is a partial inventory. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

👇📖 Book tips for the weekend readings

Is it just the US population that lives in 'sharded', splintered realities, or is it a general trend in other places? New book by William Merrin and @andrewhoskins.bsky.social gets at the stakes: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

On the NY subway, I was reading the first chapter of Sharded Media and shouting YES! so often, loudly, and passionately, I must have sounded like Meg Ryan in Katz's Deli--and that was before I even got to the bits nicely quoting me. @andrewhoskins.bsky.social

Looking forward to reading it! Appears to be a highly interesting and carefully crafted volume!
