'we're doing SANCTIONS mom'

Can't sell to country X - sell to country Y who routes through Z to X

Sanctions will always be fucking bullshit unless you're sinking cargo ships headed for your enemy's ports
Bloomberg: At least $488 million in sanctioned goods entered Russia from EU in 2023
Despite extensive Western sanctions aimed at cutting off supply lines, Russia continues to obtain sanctioned goods, such as microchips, via third-party countries.

If you didn’t know this is the second self-immolation outside an Israeli consulate in the US, ask yourself what the media in the country is doing. It takes real work to downplay protest of this sort.

"If we don’t pay attention, human beings get caught up in the frenzy of earning a living. People always say they’re busy. For what are they busy? Only to earn their bread. Chickens also look busy constantly eating. But they eat only to be eaten."

Stop posting CDC research + pretending they're credible.

There is a lot of research out there about the dangers of Covid from entities that don't force people to go out and spread the plague.

Posting this affirms their underserved credibility.

One in four people infected by Covid are developing Long Covid. Reinfections raise the risk. 60% of transmission happens without symptoms. 53% of those with Long Covid have severe cognitive slowing. Nearly everyone has been infected. The virus is everywhere. Do you see it yet.

When people say you should "own your own data", or that the future of the web is "ownership", what does that mean?

We need to talk about digital ownership.
