Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.

it speaks to the technology's hideous and primal appeal, which is that in cases of uncertainty many people would rather be told to do something than to choose to do it

"In principle, apocalypse might imply a clean, sudden ending, but in practice, it’s a drawn-out and uneven descent. I can think of few works of art that understand this better than THE LEFTOVERS." - @sophiastewart.bsky.social

Fuck AI, support Palestine. It’s not that hard.

From our G4C speech: “There is always doubt. Will people connect with experiences that are not their own? As we came out onto the other side, we feel the answer is yes. Games provide such an opportunity to spend time. With others. With The Other.” @nhitendo.bsky.social on site!

We're a little over 80% funded on Kickstarter! Thanks to everyone who has pledged so far 💜. If you haven't pledged yet, read the thread below to learn more about the importance of supporting Take Us North. Back us today to bring these vital stories to life: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tak...

Too much “what are the protesters doing” and not enough “why isn’t ICE leaving?”

Gotta love Major League Soccer. LAFC came out strong today with anti-ICE signage and the supporters group 3252 was silent today at game start. Supporters section was half full though. Lots of folks likely not feeling safe enough to go, lots of folks out protesting. ✊
