SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
Intro to new special issue of @womenshistoryrev.bsky.social on 'Value' and women's work in broadcasting, co-edited with Kate Terkanian & Kristin Skoog, now published! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
A screenshot showing three articles I've published -- on border tech, medical tech, and spatial data -- all of which mention Palantir. We also see an article on surveillance by Hillary Mushkin.
Just did a little search on Places (where I've published most frequently for the past decade+), to see if anyone had written about Palantir in relation to urban governance, border tech, other spatial data applications, etc. Well, whaddya know? That's me, from 2016, 2018, and 2018 :)
Delighted to wake up to the news that my new article with Kristin Skoog has been published:
Surveying value in women's work: a view through the eyes of the International Council of Women's broadcasting committee 1935–1960

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

this really is a significant blow to the global far right. Hungary under Orban was more than a financier and place to host events: it was a proof of concept

You missed a teachable moment there!
But really, that *should* get you a state pension.
Which expletive did you use?
Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.
Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.
Reporters should ask Trump to describe the pope's job.
Thus, today's election is not really the end of an authoritarian regime. Rather, it is the first step in a much longer unwinding process.
It is massive and absolutely necessary first step — one that anyone who believes in democracy should celebrate. But it's more a beginning than an end.
Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.
Congrats to my old friend Aadam Jacobs, deservingly receiving international recognition from numerous press sites for creating probably the most important live music archive of the past 30 years, simply by being Aadam.
This news implies that he understood they were all committing crimes. I’m not sure he can preemptively pardon without specifying the crimes for which they’re being pardoned.
NEW: Lebanon is Gaza 2.0. That’s what Israeli ministers are saying in their own words. Believe them.

we cannot live this way.
All the dimentia dictator had to do was threaten genocide to get to a situation worse than it was before the war he started.
So much damn winning it’s a wonder we’re alive (and so many aren't)
Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.
Money will be made by Iran, since your deal just allowed them to charge $2 million per ship to pass through—a fee that never existed prior to the war.
Gaza was de ultieme lakmoesproef voor goed en kwaad en de internationale gemeenschap faalde.
Vandaag dreigt de Amerikaanse president openlijk met de vernietiging van Iran, zelfs met het uitwissen van een beschaving. 
Als niemand ingreep in Gaza, waarom zou de wereld nu wél grenzen stellen?
I feel like I have nothing to write. "Genocide is illegal and Trump must be tried for war crimes" feels, somehow, *under*whelming in this moment.
Are you going to impeach the president today? No?
Then you do, in fact, support making a whole civilization die.

Next week in Search & Discovery we discuss music discovery. Liz Pelly joins us for a trip to WFMU, and we document our own musical discovery memoirs — how we cultivated our tastes across phases of our lives :)

Learned yesterday that AI monitors Bluesky "Starter Packs" to determine who to cite for academic expertise.
So I'm starting one for Media History.
I'm too busy to search for every name. If you're a media historian nominate yourself in the comments and I'll add you.
Ooo ooo ooo pick me!
