    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["One of the greatest cures for despair and depression is to do something, and to do something with the people who care," says Rebecca Solnit. In this episode of Movement Memos, host Kelly Hayes talks with Solnit about hope, backlash, political memory, and why history can help us understand our own power. Their conversation explores feminism, climate grief, authoritarianism, misogyny, interdependence, and why the right’s push to roll back hard-won freedoms is also a reaction to how much movements have already changed the world.]]></description>

    <title>The Reconstruction Papers</title>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[For nearly a century, the conservative movement's white whale was the government the New Deal and the Great Society had built. Republicans chipped away at it but feared the political ramifications of going too far. Now, Donald Trump and men in his inner circle like Russell Vought have coming promising to do what their predecessors could not, and kill the beast outright. In its place they intend to leave a fascist, personalist, but otherwise greatly diminished state.

If they are going to shoot their shot, then liberals need to be ready to shoot ours.

The Reconstruction Papers is a guide to what that shot should look like. The aim is not to go back to normal, or repair the damage, but to offer bold plans of action for political liberals who manage to retake power from the facsists, as soon as 2029.

The Liberal Currents staff who organized this collection are not DC or media insiders. We are ordinary liberals who have built an extraordinary community. It is the support of that community which made The Reconstruction Papers possible.

It is now available for pre-order in the United States, and a print-on-demand option is also available globally.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Social Media’s Dead. You Need an Ecosystem, Not Just Content.

Social media is basically over; the friend-to-friend conversations have largely moved underground to texts, Snaps, and DMs. What’s left is a series of endless, personalized feeds that filter you into interest-based niches. You’re watching content or chatting with your friends.

Meanwhile, political ads are predicated on the idea of a captive audience. But there are no captive audiences anymore—even if people are forced to play an ad, they’re not forced to watch it because they often have a second screen.

The implications here are clear: You need a lot of content in a lot of places with a lot of different angles that come from a lot of different people. You just can’t command and control at the scale of a presidential campaign.

Campaigns should be thinking about how to empower staff to create content that people want to consume. But even if you have attractive content, you need an ecosystem to keep people engaged: unbranded fan accounts, clipping accounts, and teams of clippers located in states. Arby’s built out a content series with guys doing stunts at Arby’s. Bissell built a single-purpose TikTok that just shows their tools for cleaning cars. Campaigns should take note. We need to get creative.]]></description>

Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity.

It is hard to see this clearly. Even as we oppose individual Trump adventures, we hope that in some way they are based on some understanding of the national interest. They are not. To get the perspective we need to see the nature of this anti-strategic self-slaughter, it will help to consider thirteen traditional bases of state power.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[I had a conversation with my colleague Steve Levitsky about this on Monday on a webinar that we did, and I asked him this question, “where would you put us right now?” He said, “there’s no precedent for where we are.” I think I largely agree with him because here’s what we’re dealing with: we are in a global period where we’ve seen around the world a democratic recession year over year for every year in the past 17 or 18 years in a row, there have been fewer democracies and more autocracies and hybrid regimes in the world and last year was a pretty big jump in that because the year 2024 was the year of elections around the world. For the first time in world history, in every election and in every established democracy in the world, the incumbent lost vote share. It’s not always the right that lost vote share, the left. But for the most part, this elevated or empowered far right parties around the world. We’re part of that trend.

But we also in the United States have our own historical experience of racial authoritarianism, in the country that we’ve inherited, but has arguably never actually been implemented and consolidated to this degree from the federal level. It’s always been a regional phenomenon in terms of the way that it was institutionalized under Jim Crow, etc. But the federal government at best was an enabler of it, and at times was an opponent of it and in fact has tried to help to dismantle it in the 60s. We’re now at a place that I think the country arguably has never been before, which is to say that that particular version of the country’s authoritarianism has captured the arms of the federal power, and is seemingly not respecting federalism in the same way that one might have expected. So I agree with you that Hungary is not the best reference point. I also think our own history, unfortunately, doesn’t even provide the best reference point because of the scale, scope, and speed of what’s happening.

This is just to say, I think that where we are in kind of uncharted territory, I also think the fundamentals of what we know about how to arrest backsliding probably remain the same. I also believe that the United States has everything, our population has all of the ingredients to do what many other populations around the world have been doing and what people in our country have done in the past which is to build and strengthen the civil society response to what’s happening, to uphold the institutions that need upholding, and to renew and improve the institutions that need renewal and improvement without bloodshed. I truly believe that we have the capacity to do that. It’s up to us to decide whether we can organize ourselves to deliver on that.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[I have been building a tiny neural network library in Haskell. One of the requirements there is to be able to update the weights based on some gradients. In other programming languages, this can be done by mutating the weight variables. However, in Haskell, we try to keep things pure until the outermost layers, also sometimes referred to as "functional core, imperative shell".]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Federal health data reveal that states with conservative leadership consistently have higher firearm death rates than their blue-state counterparts. 

In 2021, eight of the 10 states with the highest gun death rates per capita were won by Trump in the 2020 election. Mississippi — with a staggering 33.9 per 100,000 firearm death rate, the worst in the nation — voted solidly Republican. By contrast, states with the lowest gun death rates — like Massachusetts, at 3.4 per 100,000 — reliably vote Democratic.

This pattern holds nationwide. Public health research confirms that states in the South and Mountain West with weaker gun laws and higher gun ownership have the highest gun death rates, whereas Northeast states with strong gun safety laws see far fewer deaths. 

In other words, the “gun-friendly” policies of red America correlate with more funerals and grieving families, year after year.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A reasonable skeptic might also predict that losing in public would tend to discourage a movement’s supporters. In sports, the idea of “no moral victories” is a cliché. But researchers who study social movements find the opposite. Once people persist in the face of a likely defeat, they often keep fighting.

Why? People willing to lose loudly aren’t deceiving themselves about their power or their prospects. As we discuss in our forthcoming book, co-written with Daniel Kelly, they don’t tend to think: I personally will change history, if only I keep at it.

A comprehensive analysis of protesters in places including Russia, Turkey and Hong Kong found that they were not motivated primarily by belief in their immediate effectiveness, but instead by factors including a shared sense of identity and faith in protest as a way to build a movement. They don’t necessarily think their movements will make all the difference — at least not in the short term. But they believe they can make a difference to their movement.]]></description>

"We have yet to find a virus that can break through the therapy's defenses [in cell culture tests]," explains Columbia University immunologist Dusan Bogunovic, who first discovered this unusual antiviral superpower 13 years ago.

The mutation, a deficiency in interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), causes a mild yet persistent inflammation across the body. Examining patients' immune cells revealed they'd had the usual run of encounters with flu, measles, chickenpox, and mumps, yet they'd never reported feeling particularly ill as a result.]]></description>

Next, they grouped these innovations to identify patterns, revealing clusters that reduced costs by improving materials or prefabricating components to streamline manufacturing and installation. Finally, the team tracked industry origins and timing for each innovation, and consulted domain experts to zero in on the most significant innovations.

All told, they identified 81 unique innovations that affected PV system costs since 1970, from improvements in antireflective coated glass to the implementation of fully online permitting interfaces.

And then he did. Don't let what you do be limited by what you assume is possible – what you do has to be governed by common sense and wisdom but those sometimes tell us to not assume we know the limits. The first rule of the future is that no one quite knows what it will be, and major changes not uncommonly emerge from players who were not long before invisible, dismissed, derided.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[These are the facts. The truth. But mainstream media cannot say it. That is a problem.

There are two reasons for this paralysis in the fourth estate. One is silly, the other is sad.

Silly: Mainstream news organizations are paranoid about being accused of bias by right-wingers. The Trumpist media and its allied politicos have developed an industry of outrage at what they constantly claim is bias in the mainstream media. There is, indeed, some to be found. As I said here recently, the lack of viewpoint diversity in the old media has led to missed stories, unheard voices. But the Trumpist bias police are laughably one-sided. Newsmax is a billion times more biased than anything mainstream media ever did. Fox News, too. And the ONAN network or whatever it is. The right-wing media critics aren’t serious. They don’t want unbiased news. They want news that flatters their biases. Period.

Sad: Telling the truth about Trump has been determined by corporate America to be bad for business. The enormous powers of the presidency and executive branch in the hands of Trump can wreak havoc on even the most powerful American corporations. This has led to abject corporate surrender. The lesson Americans have learned in the the last few months: the corporations will always knuckle under.

Our country has never faced a challenge like this. The only way out of it is the way of truth. Tell it. First to yourself. Then to others. Truth-telling can be contagious. Who knows, one day you might hear it on TV.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[All Goliaths, however, contain the seeds of their own demise, he says: “They are cursed and this is because of inequality.” Inequality does not arise because all people are greedy. They are not, he says. The Khoisan peoples in southern Africa, for example, shared and preserved common lands for thousands of years despite the temptation to grab more.

Instead, it is the few people high in the dark triad who fall into races for resources, arms and status, he says. “Then as elites extract more wealth from the people and the land, they make societies more fragile, leading to infighting, corruption, immiseration of the masses, less healthy people, overexpansion, environmental degradation and poor decision making by a small oligarchy. The hollowed-out shell of a society is eventually cracked asunder by shocks such as disease, war or climate change.”

History shows that increasing wealth inequality consistently precedes collapse, says Kemp, from the Classical Lowland Maya to the Han dynasty in China and the Western Roman empire. He also points out that for the citizens of early rapacious regimes, collapse often improved their lives because they were freed from domination and taxation and returned to farming. “After the fall of Rome, people actually got taller and healthier,” he says.

---

“First and foremost, you need to create genuine democratic societies to level all the forms of power that lead to Goliaths,” he says. That means running societies through citizen assemblies and juries, aided by digital technologies to enable direct democracy at large scales. History shows that more democratic societies tend to be more resilient, he says.

“If you’d had a citizens’ jury sitting over the [fossil fuel companies] when they discovered how much damage and death their products would cause, do you think they would have said: ‘Yes, go ahead, bury the information and run disinformation campaigns’? Of course not,” Kemp says.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Why release GPT-5, knowing well that it’s not great? All of the criticisms above were surely predictable to any QA worker at OpenAI who stress-tested the model before release. I think there are a couple of answers to that question, and they overlap significantly. First, OpenAI does need to demonstrate progress to investors and partners. It’s preparing a pre-IPO sale of employee stock shares that would value the company at $500 billion, after all. I’m sure there was some internal debate over whether or not to ship the product, but providing evidence of forward motion appears to have been a higher priority than avoiding egg on the face from a bumpy launch.

Did OpenAI think it would go this badly? No. But it also may well be that OpenAI is betting that its lead and reach are strong enough, its brand is unimpeachable enough, that it just doesn’t matter. As is true with a good many tech companies, especially the giants, in the AI age, OpenAI’s products are no longer primarily aimed at consumers but at investors. As long as you avoid a full-scale user revolt (which GPT-5 actually did incur, on some level, and more on that in a second) and you have a mix of voices critiquing it and proclaiming it the greatest AI model yet, you can continue to assuage or even attract more backers on your path of relentless expansion. To that end, the thing I found most notable about the launch, besides its getting criticized by fans and foes alike, was the explicit focus on automating work.]]></description>

But at Saturday’s game, sections 121 and 122 were unusually quiet as die-hard fans stood with their backs turned to the field for the first 15 minutes of the match in protest of the club’s front office.

Specifically, the fans were protesting a one-year ban from Fire home games that were handed down to three fans who displayed an anti-ICE, or Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, banner at a recent game.

The fans who received bans were members of Sector Latino, a fan group that has long held a major presence at Fire games. Members of Sector Latino said their protest was meant to “[turn] our backs on the organization that turned their backs on us,” said Daniel Flores, a trumpeter and Sector Latino leader who helped organize Saturday’s demonstration.]]></description>

It is common, or at least it used to be, to portray Trump as a unique irruption into the American political scene: uniquely crass, uniquely rapey, uniquely popular.  In that frame of mind, one might dismiss Trump's association with Epstein as yet another uniquely Trumpian deformity.

What if it isn't?  What if the connection between reactionary MAGA politics and the sexual abuse of children is deeper than we want to admit?

The name for this idea is pedocon theory.

Pedocon theory suggests that this is not an aberration.

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Behind David Milarch’s desk in a large warehouse in rural Michigan grows the future of climate change solutions. Thousands of infant sequoia and coastal redwood saplings, each the size of a thumb, sprout beneath grey foil and growing lamps in bus-size greenhouses. In the next room are their juvenile siblings, five to eight inches tall: sequoias, coastal redwoods, oaks and a hundred other tree species form the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive (AATA), a living library of the world’s mightiest trees. These are not just any saplings — they all are descendants of so-called champion trees, specimens of exceptional size, age and resilience. 

And the man behind this forest of the future is not just any tree grower. At 75, David Milarch is trying to save the world’s last old-growth forests from extinction — by using their DNA to help reverse climate change.]]></description>

New evidence from a rare twin study now points a clear finger at two species of bacteria that hide in the small intestine.

The study, which compared 81 pairs of genetically identical siblings, singled out Eisenbergiella tayi and Lachnoclostridium as the most likely triggers of the nerve‑damaging disorder.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The question “Why aren’t women as excited about an AI-powered world as men?” starts from the assumption that the rapid development and rollout of new tools and applications represent technological progress and thus are a net good. But tools are only as good as the humans who use them, and so far, the humans doing so haven’t inspired a ton of confidence.

AI for hiring and recruiting, for instance, has a history of overt discrimination. In 2018, Amazon thought it had a potential killer app in an experimental recruiting tool that scanned resumés and surfaced top candidates. But because the model was trained on job-applicant data that skewed heavily male, it ended up downgrading resumés that referenced women’s colleges, teams, or activities. More recently, applicant-ranking models tested by the University of Washington revealed that LLMs given names and resumes of both white and Black applicants “favored white-associated names 85% of the time, female-associated names only 11% of the time, and never favored Black male-associated names over white male-associated names.”]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[I am likely not saying anything new, but this is likely the reason that so many people treat these word calculators as friends and therapists. They sound, especially to people who have little experience with either, like real friends or real therapists. It is easy to fall under their sway since all of human history and evolution has pointed toward “good with words” meaning intelligence. This is obviously an incredibly dangerous flaw in the system.

We aren’t, as a species, equipped to deal with false coherence well. It trips too many of our biases and lulls us into a sense of comfort and familiarity when we are in fact dealing with something disturbing and unique. These systems fake intelligence in a way that we are unusually susceptible to, and as a result, their mistakes and amorality can do serious harm to people. As I said, I doubt I am the first person to realize this, but I do think that we need to focus quite a bit more on it. We allow these systems to run free, all the while knowing that they have a hack into convincing us to take them seriously as a source of information rather than fancy Clippie.

That flaw means both that we should be much more serious about regulating these systems and in thinking about what intelligence really means. It cannot be predicated on coherence and communication. It must expand, I think, into the ability to model the world, to tell reality from fiction, and real intention behind the communication. The Turing test has failed us. It is time we think of another.]]></description>

The immigrants are coming to, to kill you and take your jobs. And, and the Democrats are, they're trying to make all your children transgender, and, transgender communists who, worship black people or something like that. That's the message. They've had the same message for 10 years. I think the democratic leadership class and consultant class, they look at that and they just roll their eyes at it instead of realizing, actually that's extremely effective. So you can think it's dumb and you can think that, it's manipulative or whatever. whatever you want to think about it.

But you know what, it, it works because a lot of people don't pay attention. And so if you have to repeat yourself a lot.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>msszczep</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The rise of the people's media, which is social media at its best, has pushed back on plutocrat ideology and control somewhat, but the heavy hand of the plutocracy still exerts a lot of deadening control over publishing and distribution, visibility and mindsets, including over social media, which is what the most lively and liberatory lit struggles to fend off, escape, and overcome.

There is a constant struggle for human realization both within literature and without, and thus a real need for what might be thought of as resistance literature, let alone revolutionary literature, to fight against the mountains of dreck, vacuous, and retrograde lit — to fight against and dispel the arevolutionary.

We need to make our literature and our lives new and liberatory, rather than merely rehash what we already know and suffer from. Our stories, like our lives, should resist, transcend, and overcome ideally. We need to create an increasingly liberatory culture to vanquish the existing conquered, brainwashed, and destructive terminal one. Out with the arevolutionary. Up with the revolutionary in lit and life.]]></description>
