When the Nazis came to power in 1933, the German constitution guaranteed freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Through decrees and laws, the Nazis abolished these civil rights and destroyed German democracy. Starting in 1934, it was illegal to criticize the Nazi government.

The "innovator’s dilemma" take on Google is strange.
This isn't like Microsoft clinging to Windows as users form new habits around ChatGPT.
Google is pushing Gemini & AI overviews while search still grows. OpenAI missed the window to disrupt. Now, it’s just head-on competition. A war of attrition

Hey, Ireland should try this with Google and Meta. Who need North Sea oil? We just nationalise foreign companies that get successful.

The absolute lowest death toll from the Gaza genocide is equivalent to 6 Bondi shootings *every single day for over 2 years.* That is 90 people per day. 70,000 at a bare minimum.
It is more likely at least 3 or 4 times that and very possibly more.

A *lot* of Americans did not understand why Independence Day was such a popular film in a lot of the world.
It is also unambiguously true that the White House is a symbol of oppression and suffering for a massive percentage of the world

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

How can we expect Americans to stop killing children abroad when they won't even stop killing their own?
"Weissman was in her dorm room at Brown when a friend called to warn her that a shooting was under way. Her initial feelings of panic soon turned to anger, she told NBC. “I’m angry that I thought I’d never have to deal with this again, and here I am eight years later,” Weissman told NBC News."

She looked out. The profile of a demon lord decorated the city's skyline.
She sighed; did the pose. The goddess lifted her, transformed her into a magical girl.
She beat the demon into a pulp, then faced the harder battle: to return to her seventy-year old body, with aching knees and knuckles.

ICE are thug scum.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
