In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

extremely sad news that Asad Haider has passed away. i didn't know him personally but it'd be impossible to overstate how important his writing and editing in Viewpoint was to my trajectory. as I said last night, we are losing too many comrades.

Learned this morning that the extraordinarily talent, brilliant, loving, and admirable comrade, Asad Haider, passed away Thursday.

Thousands of people gathered Tuesday near Beirut’s destroyed port where Pope Leo XIV celebrated a waterfront Mass. It was an extraordinary end to his first international trip as head of the Roman Catholic Church, which he used to deliver a message of peace to a tumultuous region. trib.al/QaoHdq9

One thing we're vvv proud of: 404 Media independent + journalist-owned. Here's a rundown of some of our recent work:
After months of 404 Media reporting and pressure from lawmakers, US airlines will shut down a program that sold millions of YOUR flight records to the government.

Airlines Will Shut Down Program That Sold Your Flights Records to Government
The move comes after intense pressure from lawmakers and 404 Media’s months-long reporting about the airline industry's data selling practices.

I’m curious about the depth of support that liberals have for this political line. If the idea that ICE is a real threat to democracy is as deeply and broadly felt by liberals as I’ve heard in the past six months, we may have a real popular front here.
I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.
But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.
ICE must go. End of discussion.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
