It is grotesque that media repeats the political language of "Americans who want to leave," when "Americans who don't want to leave" is being used to categorize those who WANT to leave, but are being refused permission to take their Afghan families.
They can't just abandon them.

Because everything with McAfee is complicated, it turns out he was still born American after all -- he was merely born outside the United States. I regret regretting the error.

If you want to see Microsoft have a heart attack, talk about defining legal liability for bad code in a commercial product. To give Facebook nightmares, talk about making it legally liable for leaks of their unnecessarily collected personal records. edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/ns-oh-god-ho…

"Fine, whatever — I just don't like the bastard," admits another, "Assange deserves to suffer."
The arbitrary punishment of those unlike you for the crime of being unlike you is the very heart of the fascism you claim to oppose.
Free societies are founded on tolerance.

.@elonmusk really shouldn't be fighting #Nostr, since it's just about the only thing that can save his business.
The fate of the old platform model over the next decade is clear. (cf. Daniel 5:5)

I struggle to understand why you would invest an incomprehensible fortune to produce something so sanitized and boring that the mere thought of visiting it makes people want to log off.

Censorship is on the rise, often led by companies that shape the very direction of our lives. Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) and I discussed the new contest for control of our attention as an instrument of power, which you can watch freely here: greenwald.substack.com/p/video-interv…

Since 2004, Facebook has never cared about the law or "social equities." Don't fall for it.
Zuckerberg suggests Congressional action now only because he is confident the result will serve him—modestly burdening the affluent Facebook, but totally crushing its upstart competitors. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

If you're in media, you should be following this. The number of violent attacks on journalists by police we've seen during the #GeorgeFloyd protests is unprecedented in the history of our work. twitter.com/uspresstracker…

It's impossible to replace a default @Windows installation with a Linux distro without feeling better about yourself.

@elonmusk There are many other names, too. Did you know Daniel Hale is still in prison for revealing 9 out of 10 drone casualties were bystanders rather than targets? He did a remarkable and heroic thing.
When did you last hear his name on TV? It's a real problem.

The world's major press protection groups sent a joint letter to Biden's DOJ demanding an end to reckless case against Julian Assange--a case that criminalizes the sort of journalism you read every week in the newspaper. twitter.com/FreedomofPress…
