“‘Gradually, then suddenly,’ Hemingway’s bankruptcy quote can just as easily be applied to politics. If you had told me six months ago that a motley crew of free speech advocates would deal a thumping blow to the censorship leviathan I would have been deeply sceptical. I had thought the Twitter Files would be the blow, but it turns out that was just a softening-up affair. The Twitter Files certainly moved the needle in the culture at large, but the institutions mostly continued their stiff resistance to accountability and change. That change is now coming to the US government and will flow on to academia, NGOs, and anywhere else that had its gums firmly locked to the teat of the state.” (12/16/24)
