A few years ago, my son installed a pihole on our home network.
This captures and blocks ads on the whole network at the modem level and also prevents tracking and signalling from machines on the network.
By far, by a mile, the most blocks are on our Samsung TV trying to snitch on us back to HQ.

Australia developed the first HPV vaccine and led the world in making it universal, first for girls and later for kids of all genders. Now we are reaping the rewards of good health policy.

This has happened against my wishes, and I’m genuinely dismayed by it.
Not because people can’t disagree with my words, but because self-censorship driven by fear (Trump threatening to sue the BBC) should concern all of us. /3

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

When this happened in Trump’s first administration, Senate Republicans like Lindsay Graham rebuked him and threatened to hold up legislation. Senator Marco Rubio, now the nation’s top diplomat, called for severing US ties with Saudi Arabia over human rights. Press should ask them about it too.

Journalists - if the person you are all trying to question insults one of your peers and them comes to you, the only reasonable response is to defer back to the insulted journo or to repeat their question. It’s not just about integrity - our main job is to make sure difficult questions are answered

One key date in all these files is June 30, 2008. That was the day after cutting a deal with future Trump Labor Secretarty Alex Acosta, that Epstein went into a court room and pled guilty.
Every correspondent after that knew they were speaking with a convicted child rapist. Every one of them.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
