There’s no way I want to live as some dystopian feudal subject…
commentary
The tycoons want us all to live in their authoritarian company towns instead of free communities.
Nobody voted for Elon Musk and what is he doing with American data? I’ve worked for government, and one big rule in government work is that you sign agreements that you understand that you can’t attach anything to government computers. You’re not even supposed to plug in a USB spotlight lamp to government equipment. There’s […]
AI is not the answer to human problems.
Going all in on vaporware is a bad idea – especially gambling on this with taxpayer money.
Coast Guard purge is about hatred of women and a preoccupation with the border.
It’s really just petty and grotesque.
Public health officials, advocates, and health workers need to be on guard.
The threats are real. We all need to demand from representatives in government and law enforcement officials that violence based on this wild anti-health campaign be prevented.
Don’t lead with a lie.
Most people don’t actually ever see beyond the headline. It’s a problem if someone starts with the thing they’re planning on debunking, and editor’s notes (or community notes) are probably not effective enough because of this reality.

“Two male deer have tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania…”
Failures of public health in the pandemic reveal hospital infection control weaknesses.
Hospitals could certainly walk and chew gum at the same time when it comes to infection control given the right incentives and management.

Politicians are in info cocoons, just like we all have a tendency to be these days, and they’re not listening, or maybe not hearing enough from enough of us.
Schools don’t have to overturn ADA compliance based on White House central government DEI edicts.
That isn’t the American way things work, but people elected to school boards may not be familiar with Schoolhouse Rock.
There are no policies other than Trump policies.
Does anyone know how government works anymore?
Why do people just accept putting up with contaminated information?
I’m not against media literacy education, but that’s not going to solve everything because it’s just too time consuming to research everything yourself.
DEI initiatives being targeted for elimination are in place for adherence to disability accessibility laws.
The media should be asking stuff like “What are these agencies doing in place of DEI initiatives to comply with ADA law?” because that’s what it comes down to.
Crypto conflicts in Congress.
Citation Needed – Issue 75 – Absolutely preposterous Trump horrifies even some of his crypto-steeped fans by launching a memecoin before his inauguration, and a flurry of activity from the new administration signals what’s in store for the crypto world in the next four years. Molly White 24 Jan 2025 Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) faked out […]

Eventually Donald Trump will be gone and they switch the name back because mostly nobody wants it.
Don’t listen to bad advice on civic engagement.
If you want to engage in democracy, consider carefully about where you get advice.
Donald Trump has repeatedly wrong economic advisor Kevin Hassett working on bird flu.
Kevin Hassett is an economist with a history of being way wrong. At a press briefing, the Trump administration spokesperson Karoline Leavitt explicitly blamed the egg prices on the Biden administration’s Department of Agriculture quote “directing the mass killing of 100 million chickens.” Of course this was because of avian influenza and the threat posed […]
