Convincing people he’s actually interested in those goals (moving humanity of fossil fuels and earth) is going to get harder and harder to do. Buying twitter might be a good way for Musk to continue to shape the narrative around his busine

Chomsky also didn’t mention that USAID and National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funded the coup in 2014. But this is a very short interview, so he can’t go into detail about every time the US has undermined democracy.

It’s not a false dichotomy because he’s not presenting these two ideas as mutually exclusive. Maybe you misunderstood his argument (or what a dichotomy means). His point was that characterizing the invasion as simply the act of a monstrous

“Want to work”. They don’t want to work, they want a life that they should be able to have at that age after working most of their lives. They are being pushed back into work because their savings disappeared in the financial crisis.

Piece has a rather simplistic view of western democracy. Regular replacement of leaders isn’t useful if they all believe the same general doctrine and work toward the same goals over many decades. The will of the people is not expressed i

Theft, colonialism, an international legal system that supports this and never made them pay back the nations they stole resources and labor from for hundreds of years.

It’s incredible the lengths to which the US will go to duct tape together their 1950’s era, individual-rider transportation system. The solution is mass transit, but this offends the entrenched industries (auto companies and adjacent) that

The US has a very well-funded agency that specializes in coups. They’ve perfected this over almost 70 years of experience keeping the world safe for American business interests.

All of these nice things are happening in many European cities where they have prioritized people over cars. None of this will happen in any meaningful scale or timeline in the US to reverse the country’s decline.

These “progressives” are not actually progressives in any historical or global sense of the word. This is just how neoliberal politicians on one side of the culture war in America have branded themselves. The liberals who actually wield so

Compare all of this nonsense to how it’s done in Swift. String APIs in Swift are great: intuitive and do what you expect.

Exactly. Don't try to change the system, just worry about yourself and your friend's/family's wellbeing. Even if the country goes to shit, you can certainly live in a nice gated community while those who aren't so

I wish that Apple had chosen to use Tor for their private relay feature instead of building their own (closed) system. It could have been a huge increase in traffic for the Tor network but instead they built a worse version.
