I'm of the opinion that redeeming him was the biggest mistake of the entire sequel trilogy The ENTIRE MESSAGE of his role in the first two entries was that he rejected every attempt at redemption and doubled down on being a massive piece of shit Embrace that! He doesn't get a good ending!

If you'd have told them 15 years ago that they'd boost a platform that's made CSAM, stanned Hilter, used to spread violent anti-immigrant rhetoric, and owned by the world's richest man who is helping kill untold numbers of people in developing countries, they would have punched you in the mouth.

I think there's a lot of people on Twitter who ethically know they shouldn't be on Twitter, but they can't bring themselvest to give it up, so they write things about how not bad Twitter is because they need the pushback to feel better about themselves.

Tarlov is practically the human embodiment of “Polarization is the Problem,” and that’s why Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch pay her. But polarization is not the problem (h/t @lilymasonphd.bsky.social article). Right-wing authoritarianism and oligarchy are. We can see why the Murdochs like Tarlov.

A good summation of David Brooks and "civility" politics generally: no one on the right-wing can ever be described honestly, while everyone who isn't on the right-wing is always portrayed as a radical breaking cherished norms.

for as long as i've been alive, republicans have ran the same playbook: a few weeks before voting begins, they roll out completely fabricated smear campaigns. these things are always coordinated, so the talking points take over the news. the party is never electorally punished for their dishonesty.

New open-access paper: Direct File showed that govt could build its own user-centered platform without relying on contractors. But the product was killed after a DOGE lead spoke with the private tax preparation industry lobbying against a private option. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
The ability of governments to build and sustain public interest capacity partly depends upon the position of private interests, and the ability and willingness of a government to resist private interest opposition.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) built a digital tax reporting service, Direct File, that created significant public value for users.
Direct File depended upon the creation of internal capacity: a government digital service team that could build digital platforms, rather than procuring a product from private vendors. Government control of the process allowed agile development and iterative improvement that would have been impossible under a traditional outsourcing model.
Long-standing opposition to Direct File by the private tax preparation industry, combined with Trump-era downsizing by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led to the elimination of the tool.

Karen Bass used her authority as mayor to hamstring a successful program that built 100% Affordable housing because it was **building too much housing.** She prevented these buildings from going up in single family zoned areas, which is over 75% of residential land in LA. Don't fall for this crap.
