Starlink's connection speeds drop below the federal definition of "broadband" at a density of ~7 customers per square mile, according to recent research. The more the customers in an area, the slower everybody's connections get. Data shows that 83% of US Starlink customers get sub-broadband speeds.

I've already pointed out that Brendan Carr has made it clear that he will be the most censorial FCC chair in history.
And he will do it while wrapping himself in the false flag of free speech. And the media will repeat that claim as if it's accurate.

This is ominous: the weaponization of the federal government via the FCC has begun.
Trump FCC Chair #BrendanCarr wielding the power of *our* FCC (on behalf of Trump) against the corporate parent of CBS News should disturb all Americans.
This is a threat to #PressFreedom

Trump vilified tech giants. Now they’re giving him millions.
After years in which Trump called them enemies of the people, Silicon Valley executives are hoping $1 million gifts and Mar-a-Lago dinners will mend bridges with the president-elect.

The most remarkable part about the congestion pricing fight has been the characterization of the subways and railroads as the exclusive domain of the liberal wealthy Manhattan/brownstone bourgeoisie, but are also too unsafe to ride, but are also too crowded to hold more people.

I’d like the record to show that I resisted getting AirPods for a long time. Within weeks of their 2016 release, I began spotting them (to my semi-surprise, considering their price) in the ear canals of lots of people on public transit–a reliable barometer of how popular a new tech product will turn out to […]

AP is not a company, it's a cooperative, owned by its members, the newspapers and other newsrooms that pay to run its stories. It has to satisfy the editors of those newsrooms by coming as close as possible to a "consensus" version of the news. This is why it's vulnerable to a both sides treatment.
