And yes, I do strongly believe the United States practices a form of digital imperialism globally through its monopoly of tech and US foreign policy around tech regulation. They ensure their propaganda is enforced everywhere in this manner and misinformation cannot be stymied, damaging our elections

Bill Watterson is my favorite cartoonist. I adored the relationship btw Calvin and Hobbes as a child. But as I've gotten older, these strips feel even more tender and insightful. My respect for him grew when I learned of his stance against merchandising. Such principles are almost unheard of today.

“You can’t divorce this from the experience of COVID in New York. COVID tested our healthcare system & tested nurses in particular. They last went on strike in 2023 & continue to face chronic understaffing, leaving them feeling overextended,”
