i stopped generally using the term “journalist” to describe what reporters & columnists & editors & anchors & correspondents & producers do some time ago… bc some people will call anyone a journalist who claims to be one when they just don’t operate with any of the expected or necessary standards.

I find the lack of conversation about these border checks, which have become ubiquitous across the EU since 2015, incredibly chilling. At most you get dismissive comments that they are security theater and that they "don't work", and meanwhile new border infrastructure keeps going up.

I really wish these stupid posts about how "Spotify CEO invested in AI drones to kill" would stop.
No, he invested in a drone startup with machine learning, which supplies NATO/Ukraine.
I support that.

As far as I know the non-racist version was that since both the natural and lab origin version is plausible, we should tighten biosecurity standards somewhat given that experts thought they were severely lacking in China among other countries.
Sad day for the folks who staked their reputations on lab leak conspiracy theories.

How capitalism really works:
politics sets the market frame and enforces it with various tools including consumer protection and anti-trust agencies, and depending on that it's a scale between piss and innovative, desirable products.
