1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Amid Israel’s man-made famine in Gaza, a young Palestinian boy scours the streets for fallen pasta from an aid truck, a stark reminder of the severe hunger and suffering that is still gripping the strip.

"Assuming that deaths from deprivation were 4 times the violent deaths... the total Gazan death toll would accordingly be 136,000 violent deaths plus 544,000 from imposed deprivation, leading to a staggering total of 680,000 deaths by 25 April 2025."

Genocide apologia does not just dehumanise the victims.

The perpetrators and their apologists also dehumanise themselves. There’s no other way to commit or support genocide.
