New in PN: Inside the resistance with Will Stancil

"They seem to have thought they could come in here with big guns and intimidate everyone, then we would all just sort of run away. That didn’t happen. Ultimately, I don’t see a way out for them that isn’t some kind of defeat or retreat."

"It’s not totally clear to me what the local and the state elected officials can do. Obviously, a shootout with the federal government is not a road we want to go down. That’s not gonna make things better here in Minneapolis."

Turns Out They Didn’t Really Want You To Bring Your Whole Self To Work | Techdirt

"So no, they didn’t really want you to bring your whole self to work. They wanted you to bring the parts that were useful to them, for exactly as long as it was useful to them. The “whole self” thing was just the price of admission in a seller’s market. Now that it’s a buyer’s market, they’d prefer you just shut up and (use AI to write) code.

The irony is that employees who actually believe in what they’re building tend to build better things. These executives may have just taught an entire g..."

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been capitalism. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But capitalism has marked the time.

Back in 2020, tech companies expounded about how important it was to "bring your whole self to work." Now, they want you to leave that girl or guy at home, while you, of course, return to the office. What gives? @mmasnick writes for @techdirt.com about how it was always just a business decision — and that explains the rightward shift across Silicon Valley too.

Rafael Behr on banning social media for under-16s:

'The current debate... barely skims the surface of these issues. More optimistically, it indicates growing awareness that the mass migration of human activity online is an epoch-defining political event & the default settings on the tools & platforms involved may not be designed with citizens’ best interests in mind.The implications for democracy cannot be reduced to a facile equation of regulation with censorship'!

The destabilisation of the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC is no longer a distant scenario - it’s a national and global security risk. In this article, PIK director Johan Rockström and Iceland’s Climate Minister Jóhann Páll Jóhannsson explain what to do about it. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/climate-risk-becomes-matter-security-johan-rockstr%25C3%25B6m-p9n7f/

I wouldn't normally post a link to LinkedIn, but this is an important republished piece on AMOC collapse from Johan Rockström.

It always comes back to abuse or, more precisely, it is always about abuse: "He [#Trump] has shifted into the same logic as a jealous wife-beater, threatening to destroy the object of his obsession [the Kennedy Center] rather than allow her to leave."

I would like to suggest that the artist cancellations played no small part in the center closing down “for remodeling”

See what happens when artists walk away from a venue owned by an incredible asshole? Everyone should take the hints and get the heck off of the other platforms owned by gigantic assholes.

https://www.salon.com/2026/02/04/kennedy-center-teaches-maga-a-tough-lesson/

Trump's obsession with the Kennedy Center reflects a larger delusion among the MAGA base: that they can bully people into liking them.

And they'd rather tantrum than accept this reality.
