  2. The flood of users to bloo-skie over past week & surge in new followers is dramatic. I recommend Sky Follower Bridge to find X follows. Not an X/Th-reds hater, but algorithmic suppression of news links undercuts utility. Maybe critical mass for a post-Twitter is finally arriving?

  21. Came across a short review I wrote four years ago of "Holding the Line." Its opening anecdote drawn from the book was in 2017, but resonates with more recent focus on Trump's tendency to scatterbrain (or do "the weave") when holding court nyti.ms/4e1vBdy

  24. Story: Judge releases heavily redacted trove of evidence in Trump election subversion case, rejecting Trump legal team's objections. What's visible appears to be almost entirely already public material however. w/ @alanfeuer nytimes.com/2024/10/18/us/politics/trump-election-case-evidence.html?unlocked_article_code=1.TE4.8KZ8.rc60VBYsSQDi

  25. Only able to get Vol 4 of the Trump appendix so far but if the first three are the same this is nothingburger. Mostly entirely redacted white pages. A few already previously released files and public statements/transcripts.

  26. Does the phrase “on the wagon” for the state or consistently abstaining from alcohol or drugs come from being on a “water wagon” ? Is that like a wagon where a convoy of pioneers could get a drink of water? @100YearsAgoNews/1841944456108425296

  27. When Obama team weighed the Bin Laden intel, they considered dropping a huge bomb to destroy any tunnels underneath his compound.

  31. How different would US politics be if N Dakota, S Dakota, Montana, Idaho & Wyoming had been made into one state? Their combined pop now is 5.4M, ≈ to S Carolina or Minnesota. It'd get 2 senators, 7 House seats & 10 electoral college votes, rather than 10 S, 7 H & 17 EC votes.

  38. Most political commentary of the angry/resentment genre, of which we have a surfeit from across the spectrum, tends to come off to me as calculated. But the seething dudgeon in this piece by the usually wryly amused @petridishes feels pretty real. wapo.st/4cqXzyF

  39. Using troops to crush anti-Trump protests/riots is too radioactive even for Project 2025. The legal groundwork has been handled by a thinktank closely aligned with Trump. Publicly, it frames the idea in terms of border security. Privately, it is more open. nyti.ms/4dNRBJe
