Turning the purely ratings-driven platforming of a spectacle that only helps the far-right demagogue who once before tried to abolish democracy and constitutional government as a necessary civic service to get Libs and Lefties to leave their echo chambers is utterly cynical and insulting. 1/

@MikeBon Yes, but in a less direct way than most people think. CNN CEO Chris Licht likely is doing what the parent company's most influential shareholder, John Malone, wants. The parent company, Warner/Discovery, makes so much money that Malone doesn't care whether CNN itself makes money, because putting Trump and other Republicans in power will make him FAR more money than even a highly profitable CNN will. So he wants CNN to get Trump & Republicans elected. That's where the money is.

Kind of feel that if we have to live in an age where a politician can just say anything and live in a crazy fantasy world where it's assumed true, it's such a shame that the lies are all so fascisty and boring and not like "vote for me, literally all of you will be an astronaut in my term" or something

@Pwnallthethings I'm still waiting for the jetpacks they promised us in, like, 1967.

"That was a rigged election," says Donald Trump at the top of his appearance on CNN 'Town Hall' from about , repeating previous lies. "They were stuffing ballot boxes."

For @Motherboard, I had the chance to talk to @haeckerfelix about his IKEA chair, which seems to be causing his 4K monitor to short itself … for some reason. https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgwd4d/popular-ikea-chair-turns-turns-computer-monitor-off-baffling-everyone

@suyin @ljrk @ernie @haeckerfelix Wowza. That said, I can't relate to spending $1,400 on a work chair. The only down side to working on the sofa is that occasionally it's a little too easy to nap. That said, I tend to work 12-hour days (though often spaced over 14-16 hours), so I don't feel TOO guilty.

I contributed to this new post published today by the Adam Smith Institute (@ASI) that gets into job displacement by AI and the policy response of universal basic income.

The next time someone says Adam Smith would never support UBI, try sharing this.

@Npars01 @Oxymetheus @scottsantens True, although that doesn't make UBI a bad idea.

@Npars01 @BrentInMasto @Oxymetheus @scottsantens I am not aware of anyone who is claiming that UBI would solve global warming - or that it would aggravate it, for that matter.

@brlicht Alabama's a third-world country. I remember reading that those morons gave away so much in economic incentives to Mercedes-Benz that they couldn't afford to keep their own police cars running. @Npars01 @BrentInMasto @Oxymetheus @scottsantens @danwentzel

Just say it plainly: New study shows laws are driving young + people to .

No more bullshit, no more "tolerance" for homophobia. They're murderers.

@stevesilberman Well, yes, but then so many Republican laws and policies lead to excess and/or premature deaths when followed. LGBTQ+ people, air quality, water quality, workplace safety, health insurance, and on and on and on.

    @jcrabapple I'm not real happy with it, either. Particularly the global timeline, where, when you scroll down, each post breaks in half and the two halves have switched sides.

    Okay, maybe I’m not technically a witch, but I did recite a spell in an arcane language to a hunk of magic silicon, which wirelessly enchanted another block of silicon on the other side of the world, causing it to rearrange an array of liquid crystals, revealing runes for someone else to see. So that’s pretty cool.

    @zombierustpunk Einstein said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." In context, he was cautioning that for technology to succeed, people must at least basically understand how it works, but I think you've got "basically" more than covered. As far as I'm concerned, if you want to be a witch, I see no problem with that.

    Hannah Arendt observed that the Nazis didn't lie because they believed it, or even because they expected YOU to believe it. They lied to say what would have to be true to justify what they intended to do.
