It's such a gorgeous, peaceful village. Thanks for reminding me of my visits there.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division.

I want to thank J.D. Vance for promoting an essay in The Nation titled "Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning" by Elizabeth Spiers. Vance reminded me to renew my subscription. The monthly deserves support for publishing important truths no one else would. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

We Taught AI to Talk Like a Human Without Losing Its Mind By Adam Penenberg The Meltdown Machine It’s practically a genre now: the rogue chatbot meltdown — part sci-fi dystopia, part customer service horror show. A dating bot dumped users mid-flirt for being...

After working in media for decades, I couldn't stop myself from launching an AI communications agency with my friend, the great tech journalist Adam Penenberg. Read Adam's story about the project that taught us the most important part of AI's unique power isn't AI. www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-tau...

Let's support #freespeech by telling the truth and by defunding the cowards who roll over for authoritarians like Trump. As @moveon.org just said, "It’s not just Trump who is plunging us into authoritarianism. It is also the spineless corporations that are bowing down to him." #BoycottDisney

I urge everyone who cares about free speech to cancel their Disney+ subscriptions now, as I have done. It’s easy and it’s important to make clear that we will not sit by as Trump advances his authoritarian takeover of U.S. media.

Heard @jay.bsky.team on OnTheMedia and was inspired to post here again. MY WORK: Narrative strategy—making the truth sound true. GOAL: Make America a democracy where policy springs from people's lived experience, not the desires of the rich. Looking for allies. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

Tonight, Oscar-winning Director of No Other Land Hamdan Ballal was attacked by Israeli settlers and arrested by the Israeli army in his home village of Susiya in Masafer Yatta.

I am in rural Massachusetts in the U.S. News of this attack is now spreading rapidly around the world.

UPDATE: It is not currently clear where Hamdan is being held.

Amazon boycott starts tomorrow, March 7 and lasts one week. #BoycottAmazon. Spread the word!

Judd, don’t you think we moved beyond “brazen” when Musk purchased a roll as co-president of the United States for less than $300 million? We need a new adjective, I’m afraid. Naked? Open? Frightening? Obvious? But brazen got passed a while ago.

I am neither Catholic nor Christian, but Notre Dame, soaring upward on Ile de la Cité since the 12th century, manages to represent hope and aspiration in a way that’s hard to explain. As does Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, some 700 years newer but still hopeful.

Politico comes close to reporting this fact by talking to Kimberly Wehle (above). Ignore Politico's spin; read her words: "I see Biden’s decision as reactive to the unprecedented nature of Donald Trump’s promises" to use the system "for political vengeance." Which admits justice is dead in America.

‘It’s a Sad Statement About Where We Are’: A Pardon Expert Explains Biden’s Decision to Pardon His Son Kimberly Wehle says the pardon might seem hypocritical but it’s not out of bounds.

It is an easily graspable fact that Joe Biden devoted his lifetime to believing in the American system. That he now has been forced to acknowledge at last that it is incapable of delivering justice is a sure sign that a uniquely American apocalypse is at hand.
