It’s funny that this can make the front page (at least as I’m typing this) but all the stories about all the accounts blocked at the request of the US government never did.

Sites like HN and that other one should track this. It could work like flagging - if enough people mark it as hugged to death (HTD), it would say so next to the link. Maybe it could even redirect to an archive if it’s currently HTD.

For some reason that’s par for the course for a lot of mainstream news articles. The headline refers to a claim that was made by some org or group and there is an authoritative source of that claim and yet the article doesn’t link to it. It

It'll be interesting to see if any of the reparations stuff ends up happening.

This is completely unrelated but I will never understand why people make throwaways for comments like this - I make all my own dumb snarky comments on this account and it's never anything more than like -5 points. Who cares?

Hey I was gonna make a sarcastic comment asking the same thing, you beat me to it! Welp, back to disrupting everything and ignoring the negative effects that we don't have to experience ourselves I guess.

Dismissed by you. I know you can't prove a negative or whatever but why are you so confident in your claim that no one is doing that, and why should we believe you? I dated someone who worked at a drug rehab facility and after hearing

We must have very different trust levels in the military industrial complex then. I think it's worth pointing out this program happened in 2000. Do you think it just went away? Do you think that when obama legalized spreading propagand

Do you mean the twitter files conspiracy theory? That didn't happen, and if it did, it was totally normal, and if it wasn't, it was justified.

I know it's cliche to say but I started reading this recently and it is amazing how well it applies to the media today. I can't wait for it to be designated a conspiracy theory!

It's insane to me that we're all just supposed to give a US army program literally titled PSYOPS the benefit of the doubt because their corporate partners said there was nothing to worry about. Does anyone remember that the enti

There are a lot of people on the left who have never ever liked conservatives or republicans but who are extremely frustrated at what the left is doing. They seem to be failing on a lot of things, and conservatives seem to be succeeding, bu

The homeless problem would go away too if they would just redefine "homeless" to mean something else.

> Lots of pressure from folks at the top of city government to reduce numbers, rather than fixing the issues. This is what I see too, and it seems glaringly obvious. Progressives want to reduce the incarceration rate, and any DA (or anyo

The answer to all three of your questions is “anyone who thinks they’ll benefit from doing so.” To claim any of those things are unique to one group is ridiculous.

Idk, it seems to me that if less people took twitter seriously we’d all be better off. If NPR stops tweeting, great! Hopefully all the other journalists leave too. People seem to forget that when twitter first started it became famous becau

I am genuinely confused why stuff like this is such a big deal. Whatever happened to "twitter is a private company" and "twitter isn't the public square" and "if you don't like it just make your own twitte

This is a dumb way of thinking about democracy. People shouldn't quietly let politicians do whatever they want until their term is up, they should let them know that they are unhappy. If the government doesn't provide a way to do

So what would you say to the argument that the police are already too violent, and that too many people already get put in jail, especially minorities? That is the motivation behind the progressive policies of not prosecuting criminals. Eve
