This is 3 days after Jen Psaki said from the white house podium that disclaimers are a good "first step", but that "we" (the white house) want to see "more done" by tech companies. Now spotify has complied with

I think you're supposed to just be mesmerized by (and envious of) these wonderful people. Quite a "hey, look at us" piece.

10 years ago, I would think to myself "Man, it feels like we're headed for a civil war"; but, I didn't say anything as I wrote it off to being too focused on the present-term context. I compared the times to the 1960s,

One of the worst things about Donald Trump was that if he or anyone adjacent to him actually said anything good, it immediately became toxic. That wasn't the worst thing about trump.... it's the worst thing about the medi

In 2022 you have the choice of a) "suppressing free speech" or b) "platforming racists" There's a great example of the False Choice fallacy. "Free Speech" = "Racism" is the implication

It's similar overcompensating logic as people use to now rename git branches from 'master' to 'main' or whatever -- even though the concept of master was never anything about, or analogous to, slavery (i.e. there ar

Succinct and timely as we watch the US media and political class breathlessly try to rally us all to go to war with Russia. Even the Ukrainians aren't as eager and worked-up; NATO, in fact, has not stood up any forces so far. It&#x27

The Right needs to read up on this and take it into account. People on the right generally do not riot or loot (1/6/21 is an outlier), as it goes against a tendency to uphold law and order, and from a recognition that individuals

Yeah, that's how science works with regard to covid (i.e. tainted by politics) now, which is sad and stupid.

The groupthink here is disappointing. Rather than be glad that a cheap and widely available drug is possibly effective at treating the effects of covid, armchair experts here instead pounce on it with attacks. I wonder if Twitter and Faceb

Isn't Neil Young an entertainer, too? Doesn't he also sell his products? "There’s a difference between nonconformity and questioning authority and packaging those things for sale" Yes. The things you're comparing ha

Free, except for speech. It's sad how an aging rocker who used to celebrate nonconformity and questioning authority now becomes a finger waving old man telling everyone that there's only one truth.

Odd how the author doesn't even touch on the causes of Argentina's persistent inflation. Rather, it's presented as though it came from nowhere, and the only real story is how people deal with it.

Actually, the norm in the past many decades in the US was a very liberal press, where people could publish on subversive topics of all kinds. The "left" supported broad first amendment rights on practically any topic. Now, they

What does "worked" mean? Illness and risk lower, or simply people following orders? People have lost sight of the former after unrelenting emphasis on the latter. It's time to turn critical thinking skills back on.

"Looping in others" is an opportunity for others to say NO, or to try and redirect you, or to jump (unwanted and unneeded) onto your band wagon. If I'm working with true peers (not age or title peers, but truly similar in t
