This week on my podcast, I read my latest Locus Magazine column, “Show Me the Incentive, I’ll Show You the Outcome,” about the process by which we ended up with an enshittogenic policy environment: The whole point of the conservative project is to take away choices, and corral us into “preferences” that we disprefer. Eliminate... <a href="https://craphound.com/news/2025/11/23/show-me-the-incentive-ill-show-you-...

This week on my podcast, I read “By all means, tread on those people,” a recent column from my Pluralistic newsletter; about the way that the American descent in fascism is connected to its abandonment of the rule of law more broadly: Just as Martin Niemöller’s “First They Came” has become our framework for understanding... <a href="https://craphound.com/podcast/2025/09/07/by-all-means-tread-o...

This week on my podcast, I read Why I don’t like AI art, a column from last week’s Pluralistic newsletter: Which brings me to art.

This week on my podcast, I read MLMs are the mirror-world version of community organizing, a recent post from my Pluralistic newsletter. MLMs prey on the poor and desperate: women, people of color, people in dying small towns and decaying rustbelt cities. It’s not just that these people are desperate – it’s that they only... <a href="https://craphound.com/overclocked/2025/02/09/mlms-are-the-mirror-world-version...
