Crazy idea. The combined economic might of non-US western countries is unmatched. What if we collaborated to create a nextgen social media platform that helps protect democracies from unchecked hate and disinformation? What if we went a step further and created a safer AI? 100% unamerican.

Thank you @joho.bsky.social. From Tierney to Zweig, Macedo to Lee, we're seeing a wave of COVID revisionism sweep over the US, with very serious people nodding their heads in assent. Except it's all a fantasy. What's not a fantasy is the destruction their heroes are doing to public health right now.
Sheltered pundits such as John Tierney, David Zweig, George Will, and Macedo & Lee, authors of In COVIDs Wake, are making the rounds, rewriting the history of the pandemic and glorifying doctors who are now taking a wrecking ball to everything.
