Never Forgive Them
In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might pr…Edward Zitron (Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At)
Since the title gives nothing away:
This is an extensive article by Ed Zitron on how the technology that you're required to interact with every day has become explicitly user hostile. It's a 42 minute read, but IMO worth reading at least the first section.
Ed Zitron also has an excellent podcast on the topic of tech companies being awful called "Better Offline"

US imposes sanctions on Iran and Houthi-related targets
The sanctions target three vessels involved in the trade of Iranian petroleum and petrochemicals, which generates billions of dollars for Iran's leaders, supporting Tehran's nuclear program, development of ballistic missiles and financing of proxies including Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, the Treasury said.
The vessels targeted were the Djibouti-flagged crude oil tanker MS ENOLA, owned by Journey Investment company, the San Marino-flagged MS ANGIA, and the Panama-flagged MS MELENIA. The last two tankers are managed and operated by Liberia- and Greece-registered Rose Shipping Limited.
The sanctions block all property and interests in the United States of the designated parties, and U.S. persons and entities dealing with them could be exposed to sanctions or enforcement actions including fines.

i wonder; when (and if) the dust settles over the genocide if the bbc and other publications like the ny times will go back to business as usual.
it get that it's a natural inclination to say yes because we've always done so in the past; but we have the horrors of this genocide reported to the general public on social media instead of a few channels patroned by intellectuals and no one else.
I worry for our species as I feel like we’re bomb ourselves before we reach true mastery of this earth or use that mastery to enforce an even wider and more ruthless class system
same here; i'm started reading theory (partially) in the hopes of finding something that suggests that we won't bomb or climate change ourselves out of existence.

no, they haven't,, they've gotten more conservative; if my sizeable millennial and genz family members are any indication.
in my youth; we would dance & drink the night away on holidays like xmas and easter. the younger generations want to go to church and have the children give thanks to jesus; we're growing more conservative as a country.
the evangelicals as growing because of the all the brown people joining their ranks like my family.
i liked i better when they were catholic.
Statistically, Evangelicals are declining too.
