Whether it was a good decision or not (and it might be, given the pendulum that swings between need-to-build-custom-to-meet-needs to now-custom-is-a-commodity), Vox *did* decide to move off/discontinue Chorus and then to Wordpress...

One might think that a Bezos-owned company migt have gone super hard at Doing A Software Right, or even spinning out the Enterprise CRM part by now. (I mean this is regardless of the entirely shit market for enterprise CRM for news organizations, I think?)

Tbf I also like posting stuff without having to write out content warnings for things like “eye contact” and “clouds.”

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

"“How is society going to cope with structural unemployment and the envy, hatred and the social warfare?” he said. “We are destroying the middle classes at this stage and it will affect us. It’s unfair. So that’s what keeps me awake at night.”

I devoted a decent chunk of my life to the 18th century and have long said that Americans basically overstate the powers of George III, he wasn't fucking Louis XIV, and the presidency still retains a lot of George III powers. Except the US president is now Louis XIV.

Autocorrect is fucking horrible, you go type someone's name properly and when you're not looking it gets changed to some other person's name. (I'd originally typed Whitmer and it got autocorrected to Whittaker)

Presidents have always been above the law in practice, but it was a self-regulating system among the ruling class. Trump got greedy and they were forced to write it down in black and white.

I spent a summer in Beijing a couple of years after Tiananmen. Most of the people I interacted with seemed fairly happy. Also, they held a mass execution in a soccer stadium and who the hell knows if they were guilty or just pissed off the wrong people.

Of all the things people are saying the Democrats/Biden should do to make sure he wins in November, the least controversial is to talk about abortion rights over and over and over and over... Appeals to abstract notions of democracy are great but abortion access is how we maintain democracy.

Feels like a sliver of a silver lining here is people maybe figuring out they like a king LESS than they like Trump, and that voting for Trump is voting for a Shit King

Gotta say, even my largely politics-is-not-for-me relatives on Facebook are having a fucking conniption over the SCOTUS ruling. My uncle posted "We left England because we don't want a King. Charles is an inbred." I'm not sure what one has to do with the other, but he's right.

"That the public interest might also be served, perhaps, by using the criminal courts to hold the president accountable for attempting a coup, is absent from this opinion."

In that same ed board:

"And yet we know that Mr. Trump’s speech and tweets led to a violent insurrection. Now that Mr. Trump knows he could get away with that, how much worse would things get in a second term?" weird you'd expect for them to call on him to drop out

NYT ed board "In a stunning finale to its term on Monday morning, the Supreme Court delivered a gift of inestimable worth to Donald Trump and all future presidents who intend to violate the law and their oaths to the Constitution" yet weirdly not saying any justice should step down huh

Indeed, American Black people HAVE had very recent, living memory experience of being subject to an authoritarian US regime. It would be wise to listen to them.

PSA: if you're talking about doing actual political violence on social media in public, you are a dangerously ignorant twerp who lacks the situational awareness required to do anything useful for anyone.

For historians, the retrospective legitimation of essentially every criminal act Nixon committed while in office is quite mind-boggling. Ford’s pardon was utterly unnecessary.

In these times, this is a tremendous signal of what human skill, talent, and creativity are worth. When you publish a price list like this you are communicating to a much larger audience than likely buyers and resetting a lot of expectations that generating art is "free".
