It's okay - you don't have to follow me. I'm unlikely to follow back. Don't worry about unfollowing, either. I know how tastes can change.
New followers: your posts = CV. Nothing there? Bye!

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Really can’t come up with a better summation of the economy than companies arguing that it isn’t illegal to break the law when you use tech
BREAKING: RealPage is suing New York, challenging a new state law that bans landlords from using algorithms to set rents.
RealPage claims that its software, which landlords have used to collude on rents, is protected by the First Amendment.

"Customs duty will now be charged on all parcels." The policy of holding parcels hostage for duty and an arbitrary "admin charge" is already a state-sponsored scam. This is just going to cut the UK off even further from online business, and other countries will want to reciprocate, hurting exports.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

My book is about the past obsessions with the Roman empire that shaped the world today:
- why we think of Rome a certain way,
- why it matters,
- and the many interpretations of Rome we dismiss.
It's basically a v fun history of (a lot of) Afro-Eurasia. Buy it here!

People are justifying making healthcare more expensive for those who are sick and/or make “poor” lifestyle choices.
They’re missing the point.

It’s one thing to charge more for life insurance, but people shouldn’t PAY for healthcare.

We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.
