That’s great, but it didn’t answer the question. Next time “passionate” supporters of racism post an anti-affirmative action screed, or “passionate” supporters of the “anti cancel culture” movement post some incoherent mess about how they s

Unbelievable. The next time another reactionary outrage-bait piece from Quillette or Unherd or Matt Taibbi or the National Review worms its way to the front page are you going to swap out its url for a totally different article on a totally

Moderators, stop editorializing via title manipulation! The title of this article is “Section 230 Is The Subject of The Most Effective Legal Propaganda I've Ever Seen”, and the article only makes sense if read in light of its actual ti

The text is very clear. It protects the rights of an owner of a website to control that website, which is their private property. It does not in any way heap additional responsibilities or legal vulnerabilities upon “publishers”. It’s strai

In case you haven’t noticed, the willful misinterpretation of section 230 that popehat is describing is so common on HN that it has effectively become the party line, and any attempts to correct such “misunderstandings” (lies) are met with

Myers Briggs is completely without value, and gives all personality inventories an undeserved bad name! There certainly exist well-validated personality inventories that reflect the scientific consensus that personality can be represented w

Not if you’re a blue collar conservative who’s more familiar with a backhoe than a computer. To me, this is reminiscent of the print shop that recently sabotaged thousands of NYC mail-in ballots: obvious, but in theory plausibly deniable.

First, Alpha news is a conservative propaganda site. Second, the Minneapolis police department is still fully funded, because the council’s police reform efforts have been stymied by the unelected charter commission, who have prevented the

I suspect there’s a big split in anxiousness to stop working from home between the executive/managerial class and the people that actually labor. The former has a much harder time maintaining the illusion that they provide any value wh

There have been stories of this kind of rural mass hysteria from all over the country over the last few months. It reminds me of modern African witch hunts, or the 80s “satanic panic”.

He’s as “libertarian” as most people who identify as libertarian—which is to say, not at all. The hypocrisy is easy to spot; for example: any Republican claiming to be a libertarian but who opposes women’s rights to self-determination over
