the base of the Democratic Party are Black voters, particularly Black women, and I don't think they cared that much.

Eric Schmitt is what happens when a state becomes so red that you don’t need to be a talented politician to become a US Senator. And to be fair, there are examples of this in blue states too. Iron sharpens iron.

YOU hate Nader for throwing the 2000 election. I hate Nader for ushering in the era of Consumer as a primary political identity, touting the tort system as an alternative to normal democratic deliberation, and making things generally work worse in the USA.

Why was home ownership near a peak in the mid-2000s, do you think? Could it perhaps in any way be related to what then happened in 2008?

Are Linux and Open Source Un-American?
Community
by Steve Coe
on February 21, 2001

Jim Allchin, Microsoft Windows operating system chief, was quoted in an article about open source last week. I advise any Linux user to go and read it if you haven't already, as it's great comedy material.

According to the hive mind of Microsoft, open source should be made illegal. There's no way around it, this is the bottom line. Want to write your own code and release it into the community? Congratulations, come with us Sir/Madam, we have this nice little grey room for you. Don't worry about the bars on the windows, they are there for our protection in case you somehow manage to write a graphics viewer or a Perl script to terrorize the world.

Ordinarily, a mere underling like Mr. Allchin wouldn't be taken too seriously, but Microsoft speaks with one voice, and we all know who he is channeling.

As a member of the Linux and Open Source communities, I am appalled and outraged by his comments and wish to respond. The article shows Microsoft is scared. Very scared. So, will they build a better product? Nah, to hell with it, they'll just get the government to outlaw the competition.

You support the genocide of Palestinians, you work overtime to prevent Democrats from coming into power. The only reason you feign concern is so that you can use it as a conversational cudgel to shut down whoever you want.

Someday, someone's going to have to do a study on what happened with social media in 2024 to essentially get Trump's Gen Z support to peak precisely in November (after being incredibly low both before and after). A lot of this stuff is the algorithms, but how much was intentional manipulation?

I also am pretty sure the Jewish Democrats voting for Mike Rogers thing is overblown. They found a good amount of the ones signing on were actually just republicans not discounting an undervote among Jewish Dem voters in Michigan, but I think actual crossover will be pretty minimal

"the war," like "the economy," is the kind of thing that you can only ever really know about via mediation--via what other people are telling you--and this is especially magnified for the ordinary rando.

hopefully a longer essay about this later, but it's striking how familiar the situation of the japanese public during the russo-japanese war is. no at home experiences the war directly: they learn about it via what they read. and they are extremely active, extremely angry, and extremely misinformed.
