A lot of opinions on this one, but one gripe is NHJ vacillates between "this is a systematic problem" and putting the onus on individuals. She says "we believed we could be saviors," confronts middle-school principals, etc fully knowing individually addressing a structural problem doesn't work!

I have so many feelings about NHJ'S piece, but this is a big one. I guarantee every teacher who works there knows what's up - They're reminded 5 times a week (more, if they do extracurricular events)!

helicopters are used for essentially two things in LA: 1) responding to crimes and providing aerial visibility of an area (a drone could do this better for a fraction of the cost) 2) ferrying VIPs around LA congestion (this is a frankly offensive use of taxpayer dollars)

Perhaps it has been his guilty conscience regarding his position at MIT along with a hubristic overestimation of his own capacity for individually grasping the essence of any global matter that led Chomsky to saddle himself with the task of producing counter-propaganda rather than searching for truth; perhaps it was the idea of himself as an American statesman trying to advise policy rather than an international organizer that led him to prioritize a friendship with someone who could provide access to figures like Ehud Barak and Steve Bannon over consideration for his victims. Whatever the case, Chomsky's lasting legacy will be the impressive feat of having combined the worst aspects of just about every leftist and progressive tendency: anarchists' lack of economic theory and class analysis, Marxist-Leninists' defense of state atrocities and insistence on viewing politics as a global chessboard, and liberals' elitist disdain for the masses' ability to be trusted with interpreting information.

If you are desperate to call it ethnic cleansing instead of genocide that is fine. Ethnic cleansing is bad enough. American weapons should not go to the state of Israel. Humanitarian aid should go to the people of Gaza. Israel should stop being an apartheid state.

Flock takes their privacy very seriously. But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways. Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

I wrote this in the LA Times in 2015, the year before Peter Thiel succeeded in shuttering Gawker. Our colleagues in the corporate press behaved not just shamefully but suicidally in failing to defend Gawker. Rude speech is the ramparts of a free press.

With journalism increasingly controlled by corporate entities that want to avoid offending advertisers and their readers’ sensibilities, we need Gawker most desperately. Maybe the escort story was worth publishing, and maybe not, but it’s a positive thing for our society that Gawker cuts it close. Recent history shows that shameless gossip is good.

On July 6, the Associated Press persuaded a judge to unseal court records in which Bill Cosby admitted to drugging multiple women and having sex with them. The grotesque callousness with which Cosby describes these “relationships” has forever shattered the actor’s genial, gentle, tough-but-fair father-figure image.

Who set Cosby’s downfall in motion? Gawker did.

In general, the media just uses "the troops" as synecdoche for the war, they were upset at what happened to "the troops" in the Afghanistan withdrawal because they supported the war and were upset it was ending, in this context, "the troops" are not being mistreated, because the operation continues

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”

We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.
