I was unable to find any link to this final OpEd, but I've always enjoyed Matthew's words. It's sad to see that he was a victim of downsizing at McClatchy. His final statement was a master class in grace.

"The Pipeline Made Visible

Unlike old #authoritarianism built on fear and force, this new system rules through code, capital, and infrastructure — making resistance feel architecturally impossible.
It’s a self-reinforcing loop: #Ideology fuels venture capital → #capital captures the state → […]

Always a brilliant voice, this week’s Michael Ian Black writings have been especially good. Can’t think of a more descriptive word than good…please just read them…he has the better words.

And I’m not just saying this cause he jumped over my head for a sketch in 1993. #thestate

Seeing Like a State How Certain Schemes to improve the Human Condition Have Failed James C. Scott

#TheState is the vexed institution that is the ground of both our #freedoms and our #unfreedoms. [Our task is] to weigh judiciously the benefits of certain state interventions against their costs.

The Nuclear doctrine of Pakistan is a theoretical concept of #militaryStrategy that promotes #deterrence by guaranteeing an immediate "#massiveRetaliation" to an aggressive attack against #theState. Pakistan's foreign minister #ShamshadAhmad had warned that if Pakistan is ever invaded or attacked.

Let’s make this go #viral. Just watched The Twilight Zone, Season 2, Episode 29, “The Obsolete Man.” It’s so relevant for the USA now. #eugenics #TheState

Nancy Mace offers shallow brand of politics in SC governor’s race | Opinion Columnist Issac J. Bailey writes that Rep. Nancy Mace has given voters a golden opportunity to end her tenure as a public official.

So, @michaelianblack.bsky.social, when is James Gunn gonna let you do your in-depth reporting on Lex and his Monkey Torture? #jokesfor8people, #theState

The pundit interviewing Lex Luthor in the new Superman movie is actually… Aquaman! My theory is he became a television host after quitting the Super Friends for being made fun of.

This is what I sent to them.
The BBB bill will destroy red states, rural hospitals and hurt #thestate citizens. These are your constituents you will be hurting if this bill passes. What will you say to them when they ask why they lost their healthcare and Grandma gets kicked out of nursing home?

A man and a woman whose faces look silly because they have scotch tape squinching different parts around.

"I thought I'd question my gender a little. No big deal, right? Well, now I have tape all over my face!!"
