  4. "After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

  5. Well #VoxConf '2025 is a wrap now and most folks are in bed sleeping off a busy day and evening full of great socializing and networking opportunities. The room was packed to capacity (and maybe then some...) and with everyone on the stream, we had about 80 people in attendance.

  6. National Guard soldiers stationed in LA for Trump’s crackdown have been shitting in Humvees and showers to protest their deployment.

    At least 105 members of the deployment sought counseling from behavioral health officers, and at least one company commander and one battalion
commander who objected to the mission were reassigned to work unrelated to the mobilization, the Guard officers said.
Some troops became so disgruntled that there were several reports of soldiers defecating in Humvees and showers at the Southern California base where the troops are stationed, prompting tightened bathroom security.
