It’s almost as if making profits the primary focus for businesses and corporations is actively toxic to a healthy society! But surely that can’t be it....

Not nearly as much as the disinformation spreaders and their sycophants would have everyone believe.

Yes...and no. It’s only ‘hard’ when you stoop to dealing with people who intentionally misconstrue any and all facts or information that doesn’t further or even interferes with their power grabs, and these people have made themselves exceedingly easy to identify by virtue of the fact that they no longer occupy…

Pro-life hypocrites scream about how they’re ‘saving babies’ as if ‘babies’ had anything to do with it, or that they’re not the *CAUSE* of the problems to which they’re claiming to be the ‘solution.’ They seem to be of the delusion that there are throngs and hordes of women going around getting pregnant and having…

If engaging in anti-union, anti-labor actions is illegal in the US, how are firms which exist solely to help businesses engage in *EXACTLY THAT* not equally illegal?

Being willfully obtuse does not make your point any more valid. The FDA is just *ONE* regulatory agency with entire divisions dedicated to stamping out false and misleading information. For food and drugs. The FTC has similar divisions for other forms — just ask Elon Musk about it. The DOJ has some of its own —…

We have multiple regulatory agencies that have entire divisions that exist *SPECIFICALLY* to deal with the kinds of things that S230 protects platforms from being prosecutes for intentionally profiting from (the kind of shit that social media is doing isn’t accidental — it’s deliberate and intentional). Clearly,…

Well, if a criminal former president can demand (and get permission for) a special master to ‘assess’ the evidence against collected against him so as to hide all other crimes he’s guilty of committing (including, but not limited to treason and espionage)...

While we cannot confirm that everything is ‘bigger’ in Texas, there’s more than ample evidence that stupidity, ignorance,  greed and corruption certainly are....

For those with enough money to buy one.

If they can’t validate the authenticity, accuracy, or truthfulness of a given user’s ‘content,’ their systems also shouldn’t be promoting it. It really is that simple.

I am of the mind that Section 230's protection for hosting is perhaps a bridge too far. Yes, they shouldn’t be held accountable for every last little thing their users do with access to these platforms, but the law could use a little more sanity on what they should or shouldn’t be responsible for, especially when it…

There are times and places where ‘move fast and break things’ is appropriate (or at least not inappropriate). However, when dealing with fire hazards and protected habitats, that is most definitely not one of them.

Gee, I wonder which politicians recent received ‘generous contributions’ to their ‘election coffers’ prior to making these outrageous and blatantly false  scare-mongering claims.

There’s a *HUGE* difference between being adaptable and being well-adapted.

It might seem strange, but even at that level of the country’s ‘government’ decisions are still made with respect to those same groups of religious fanatics. Even the crown prince can find himself on their bad side...and that rarely ends well, even for royalty.

The only reasonable response to these ultra-regressive nutjob religious fanatics: “Go fuck yourselves.” Just as applicable to US conservative wankers as it is to their Middle East wanker cousins.

Strange how some people just won’t stop trying to hold him accountable for his naked corruption, bigotry, and lies....

And after all these issues, NASA still wants to put people on the next launch, despite the fact that it will essentially be an entirely new, untested rocket, because that much time has elapsed over the course of SLS’s development.

The company who made the original ones will make an entirely new, upgraded version of it. At a hefty premium that your tax dollars are paying for. They will, at least, be cheaper than the reusable ones that are being thrown away.
