Part of the scam is to define basic bedrock standards of decency as "left" & then, lo, you find "left bias" everywhere you look.

But that's not bias, fellas. That's just people trying to live in a society together.

Probably a good time to remind everyone that regardless of what Elon Musk, his reactionary advisors, and fake journalists want you to believe, Twitter admitted its algorithms were biased in favor of right-wing accounts just last year. theguardian.com/technology/202

Not once in this long soliloquy does Sinema offer a single concrete value or policy she believes in. She lays out no goals for Arizonans, no vision, no commitments.

It’s “no healthcare, just vibes” for Senate.

People deserve more. Grateful this race & nomination has opened up. twitter.com/kyrstensinema/stat

naturally Muskertti and MAGAs are having a normal one about this on twitter. I made a mistake of reading the replies to Elton John's farewell post.

Just a PSA for anyone who cares that CHEO, Eastern Ontario’s Children Hospital has called in the Red Cross to help with DISASTER RELIEF. Meanwhile here is Ontario’s Minister of Health Sylvia Jones walking in a Christmas Parade yesterday. I’m so angry. The Ontario Government needs to be charged with neglect. This is criminal.

got a flu shot today and got a COVID shot of Pfizer bivalent vaccine to go along with it. I didn't realize I was eligible (my last shot was in August). Ontario seems to have changed eligibility requirements for boosters recently but didn't communicate that info widely.

also, this is the kind of situation where Western artillery should be making a difference for Ukraine, if only they had enough of it.

Before you decide that should have been freed before because he was a Marine - at last look at the Navy's court record in this link below

Whelan was *courtmartialed* for attempted larceny, dereliction of duty, among other things.

To be clear, I am all for getting any American, including Whelan, unjustly jailed out of the ПИЗДЕЦ (Google it) terrorist/Fascist state that# Russia has become. We should be celebrating a small victory in getting at least Griner home.

Now let the Biden Administration continue working to get Whelan and others home, because the Trump Administration did nothing when Whelan was jailed in Russia.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say this has gotten so bad that the goal must be to reduce the cost of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and pensions.

Instead I will simply say: this is terribly immoral. Please mask in public spaces!

“In April, 79 percent of American deaths were among those 65 and older. In November, 90 percent.”

@kimzetter

It's a great post. And it raises some super interesting questions!

So I decided to dive into the details about why, at least outside of some extreme cases, tech cos aren't close to becoming direct participants in the war.

Along the way:

When do you become a "direct participant in hostilities"?

What does it mean if you do?

Does co-locating or handling mil data make you a participant?

And could it drag the US into war with Russia even if they did?

“When people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them that the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the big bang, so there is no time for god to make the universe in. It’s like asking directions to the edge of the earth; The Earth is a sphere; it doesn’t have an edge; so looking for it is a futile exercise. We are each free to believe what we want, and it’s my view that the simplest explanation is; there is no god. No one created our universe,and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization; There is probably no heaven, and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe, and for that I am extremely grateful.”
― Stephen Hawking
