"There are only two sexes and genre doesn't exist" is simple and wrong. "Genre is a social construct and is a spectrum" isn't. Sorry you feel threatened by people not wanting to be pigeonholed into your tiny

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. You are embracing those clear, simple answers. You are going to pay dearly for it.

The conservative side is not taking action, it is regressing things to pre-1968 norms. Progressives weren't defending the status quo, they were trying to improve the lives of people who were at the bottom of social order for centuries.

Has anybody more competent than Elon (which isn't a very high bar) survived contact with him in one of his firms? It is well know he doesn't tolerate any pushback and that e.g. SpaceX has a whole team dedicated to babysitting him

Yes, and restrict the 2nd amendment by fiat, etc... But Democrats "play nice" and respect the law. Biden could have ordered Trump assassinated as soon as the Supreme Court invented the new interpretation that puts president on a p

There is one, it is called a Constitution, and any rules where changes are only accepted by a qualified majority not of 50% but of 66% aka 2/3rds.

Now that they can edit data, nothing can be proven, as they broke the chain of trust and accountability. A criminal case can be thrown out if policemen didn't follow procedure, the same applies here. Those rules are put in place to pro

If they have the ability to change data, then absolutely none of their claims can be trusted. Neither Musk nor his A-team of hackers have demonstrated any integrity through their career - contrary to HN guidelines, the default position is t

What happens to dogs that bite, though? Also, calling Trump supporters "dogs" is more demeaning and more insulting than any "deplorables" stuff. This is not even anti-intellectual stuff, this is anti-human.

The USA is not just a democracy, it is a republic. Trump is not all-powerfull for 4 years because he won one election. If you think so, then I can see a future Democrat president curtailing the 2nd amendment via executive fiat. You happy wi

The NYT has decades of qualification in uncovering government waste from all administrations. Their greatest failure - the fake pretense that led to the second US-Iraq war - occured in favor of a Republican administration.

Making sure people are "sick" of political reporting and articles is exactly the strategy of modern authoritarian governance, from Russia to Hungary. The US Founding Fathers would judge extremely harshly modern people disengaging

Musk is exagerrating as usual; everything is auditable, but not everything is always easy and instantaneous. He has unrealistic expectations and he's not really improving things. DOGE could have set up a better system but they instead

A nice dodge, given that Twitter is completely non-transparent as for the reasons of a ban - not to say anything about throttling/shadowbanning.

If I pretend to be fine with people criticizing me, that claims fails as soon as I block/ban/throttle one (1) person for doing that.

You may argue with the content of this article in one way or another, but the main fact - that all this communication, access to information, has resulted in almost zero global discursive improvement - is something blaringly obvious to re

Remember how he tried to get out of the twitter deal by claining there were too many bots? How is the bot situation on twitter now?
