i believe the problem with most tech is capitalism and not the underlying tech. things can be fixed, improved, iterated upon, but not when the only driving motivator is profit. if we designed things with regard to our fellow humans and our world first, it wouldn't be this way.

After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.
Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.
Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

Defying and dismantling authoritarianism is hard work. If we don't make room for rest and joy, we can't bring our best to the fight.
You're part of a movement that's going to make sure that the new year is better than the last — in the meantime, rest up and get plenty of fresh air!

ALL redactions could only be for victims or CSA material: They did not
ALL redactions had to be accompanied by an explanation to Congress why they were redacted: They haven't
On all three levels, they broke the law

Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel.
"Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

What our leading public health officials think
His view on the future is pretty bleak. He thinks much of what public health has achieved in the US will be dismantled:
"We've entered this, like, dark age and it's going to get worse. It is going to get so much worse."

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?
