When an official posts something like this, especially a top official, it would be nice if the next sentence started with something like "Here's what we're going to do about it today" or "Here's how you can get involved"

We've had 500 million words spilled pondering the ideological and political intricacies of the chud mind. How can they hold such contradictory views, pundits wail. They want to feel part of a team. They want to feel strong and powerful. They want to feel righteous in their hatreds. That's it.

Also it’s possible to believe that there is a real tech here *and* that there’s a bubble happening and a crash coming. That’s my own belief, fwiw. There was a dot com crash after all, and the internet was, it turns out, not just a fad.

They do have good guests on the show, but the fact that they are platforming full-on quacks is exactly what’s wrong with American media. There aren’t always two sides to each issue, and when you want to explore the side that’s not evidence based, you don’t have to platform it.

That some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men were writing crime e-mails to crime man Epstein on gmail suggests two non-exclusive things: a) Our meritocracy isn't all it's cracked up to be; b) Our overlords operate at levels of arrogance & impunity that make consequences unimaginable.

Guan Heng went to Xinjiang to photograph the detention camps where the Chinese Communist Party imprisons Uyghurs. He fled China via Hong Kong, Ecuador, and the Bahamas, reaching Florida on an inflatable boat. The US was considering his asylum case when ICE arrested him. DHS has not released him.

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers. But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.

Devastating analysis. I had thought that the agent who removed Pretti’s gun negligently discharged it, the shot leading others to start shooting Pretti. Not even: they shot *after* disarming him. No shots were fired from Pretti’s gun. A cold-blooded execution. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

Genuinely think this coverage is worthy of formal complaint – and if the BBC doesn’t take it seriously, it should be escalated to Ofcom. The appearance of caving to the Trump White House, when the BBC is being sued, could be disastrous for public trust.

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

They don't tell obvious lies because they want or expect to deceive you; they tell obvious lies to let you know it doesn't matter what you think or know. They're not saying "What I say is real"; they're saying "Reality is whatever I say it is and there's nothing you can do about it."
