I am not the first person to say this but truly one of the best things you can do as a life long learner is this: when you learn something new, instead of saying "why is no one talking about this?" look for the people who HAVE been talking about it & amplify their work.

So minimum wage increases, Medicaid expansions and other policies backed by Dem pols and opposed by GOP pols get passed by referendum in states that vote red. https://t.co/rtSu4pOFnL

Businessmodellen voor online content zijn nog steeds zwaar verouderd en gebaseerd op rammelende DRM systemen. Zie @doctorow’s boeken zoals “Information doesn’t want to be free” hierover, aanrader.

Why is big tech just now learning the lesson every forum user from the early 2000s knows: if you don’t moderate ANYTHING, it all gets taken over by racists

I don't know why GOP politicians are upset about the president losing his Twitter account. They've never seen any of his tweets anyway--at least, that's what they told reporters every time they were asked, right before they ran away.

Fast food isn’t bad for you because sellers of fast food want it to be bad. It’s because adding fat and salt to low quality ingredients is the best way to make them taste good.

The same is true in the news business. Adding sensationalism gives garbage content a nice ”flavor”.

Anyway I'm sure it's just a coincidence that tech companies suddenly took right wing violence seriously the week they found out that Democrats would be in charge of all their oversight in Congress

The Senators have all decided that they need to lecture on “history” tonight — the Roman Republic, the revolution of 1800, Lincoln, 1877, & more. I’d rather they actually put their money where their mouths are and support history education.

It's weird how people literally storming the Capitol and fighting the police claim that anti-fascists are the threat to democracy.

One problem with politics being covered like sports for so long is that you end up with people in positions of public trust acting like it's all just a game.
