I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

Some 42 year old DC social media consultant is going to post something like "Trumps not like us so retweet if you're going to step this way step this way to the polls" and we can't stop that. We don't have the technology. We need one of those goo kids from Minority Report and they're illegal now.

Suspect this dynamic influences a ton of NYT coverage. There's a cohort of donors, from tech in particular (Hoffman, Hastings), who were royalty during the Obama years and are not happy they're not getting a call from the president on their birthday anymore

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Ehhhh after the purges and the cultural turn, there was a real deficit of Marxists writing in English and able to talk about economics. Lots of bs got taken seriously, still does.

Yes. In part because the analysis starts and ends with the application layer.

This was also my experience a lil further south (MD and DE) two weeks ago. One lone trump shirt for sale on the boardwalk. Even the insane three-percenter flags and confederate flags are gone.

That's so wild! From my limited understanding it's sort of a pan-Turkic thing? But I guess thugs follow thugs

Do AfD types use it too? Or is it more limited to, like, Turkish ultras?

Absolutely! But it was a real sentiment at a real point in history, about which I'm trying to write more.

I'm thinking especially of Hardt & Negri talking about the end of the law of value. But I'd even include a John Perry Barlow in here, as a sort of settler, libertarian communist.

Bad-faith question for good-faith purposes: What is your favorite example of relatively serious people explaining, seriously, that the Internet is a communist technology that will break all the rules of capitalism and subsequently capitalism itself?
