What is worse, exactly - having some kooky fears that WiFi might cause cancer? Or believing that the United States should be in a state of perpetual war? The former gets you treated like a pariah; the latter has been the opinion of every single candidate for president since 9/11. They’ve all supported the…

So it sucks to type on, and the pen tablet interface doesn’t really work well, but it’s good because it feels like the future?

If you really wanted these people to work with you, a piece like this is the absolute worst way to go about doing it. Ridiculing people doesn’t convince them of anything, which is Jon Oliver’s problem - all he knows how to do is to stare into a screen and call people stupid. Both of these things can’t be true: it…

Every one of those things are things that the United States does.

No one is defending Russia. No one here has defended Russia. So your comments are pretty weird. More to the point: no nation on earth has done more, or still does more, to influence foreign political conditions, including foreign elections, through espionage than the United States. It’s not even close. Are you under…

Fair enough!

Yeah, again, he’s a creep. But look, here’s a list of just 10 of them from Slate:

The targeted killing of Iraqi civilians on camera alone was a leak of major political importance, and helped to demonstrate to the American people just what armed occupation of a foreign country actually looks like.

I’m not going to run through the dozens or hundreds of revelations that were made through those leaks. Glenn Greenwald has done that at great length. Again, Assange’s character is entirely separate from the importance of those leaks, and given that you’ve demonstrated that you can’t keep those things separate, I can’t…

Not liking him is fine. The relevance of the Manning leaks is separate from that, though.

Many documents published by Wikileaks have been of obvious public interest and have been invaluable for the press and for democracy. Assange’s character doesn’t change that.

I’m really digging how Democrats are becoming the new party of useless Cold War posturing and opposition to whistle blowers.

According to Republicans, it’s a vehicle for truth in a rigged world.

Yeah this is a workspace envisioned by someone thinking about everything except getting work done.

This post is like a guy at freshman orientation who tells you that real rock and roll fans only listen to Blind Lemon Jefferson.

So you know you can look up and see the fact that there are in fact hundreds of thousands of poor people of color who still live in those neighborhoods, right, and that they are disproportionately likely to use the subway?

Hundreds of thousands of working class people use the L to get to work every day.

Let’s be clear, though - the Sanders people have been much better at supporting down-ballot candidates than the HRC campaign.

That is not an argument; it’s without content. A no-fly zone is the actual debate at hand. That’s what’s being discussed, by both parties, in America’s Syrian policy. If you’re not informed about the basic dynamics of the debate, don’t get mad at me about it.
