Truth is slow & expensive. Junk is fast & cheap
We have a new vocabulary now

No longer "alternative" facts it is "true" facts

History repeas itself

Remembering when my then boss asked me to delete a 20 page Linux Cron script as it would have automated something that we used to charge by the hour

Saying "Kinetic Strike" has this Dunning Kruger spin to it

Our enemies would love this outcome.

A geopolitical ally who sent troops to Iraq for us, breaking that umbilical cord.

For what reason ?

If there were trade imbalances that could be negotiated. Trade was a proxy to break our strategic alliance.

How many votes did these opportunists influence in the last election.

If they have been paid by X, their demography and identify should have been clear, even before their location was exposed.

A good DoJ should go after these hate peddlers.

Will never know, how much of this product awe was due to Sergey coming back to shake up bureaucracy and fiefdoms within Google.

Look at the resumes of these right wing podcasters in US

None of them have any accomplishments- be in academis, business or any

God gave them a gift of gab and they decided to use it to enrage the poorly educated and make money

Very few are there because of ideology - most of them for the $$

Yeah another “statement”

Now go write an “Op Ed”

His business model focussing on information layer rather than commodity base models, still makes sense.

Whether they will achieve escape velocity for an acquisition or burnt out cash first is the question. Later is unlikely with their heavyweight fund backers.

Universal franchise was applicable when the information symmetry in society was even.

Now i can manipulate a less “educated” person by enraging them with “men playing in women sports” and make them vote against their own interests.

Your vote should be weighted by the taxes you pay.

So much winning everywhere for people who voted for egg prices

He explains this so nicely and in simple terms

MAGA in red hat is unlikely to understand the underlying reality or how the risk basket works
