It should be rigorously forbidden to ask for any public money for any reason if your corporation has multiple people in management making over a million dollars a year. That should be an automatic fucking non-starter. Fire the fucking football coaches first. God damn.

perfect opportunity for youth activists to stage a protest and flood the workshop
The FTC has announced an all-day workshop on age verification tech. Unfortunately, they're not exactly asking the questions they should be.
Two of the issues they'll cover: "why age verification matters" and "how to deploy age verification more widely"

John Berger is a writer I've returned to again and again over the years. These essays—moving between Palestine, the war on terror, and the intimate toll of displacement and exile—are a critical reminder of what political writing can do.

It's not a coincidence that when Tor wanted to get rid of Jacob Appelbaum, they shuffled him off to academia, where he's been ever since.

The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

So frustrating. Killing a free and easy way for Americans to file their taxes in exchange for a more complicated and or fee-based program from private companies is ludicrous. Why would a government want to make it difficult for citizens to pay their taxes?

This is shocking. One of the things that stands out to me most is how proselytizing is so necessary to the belief system. People have to share the “good news.”
