  1. When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live.

  2. Meanwhile in the "You gotta be f**king kidding?" department:

    WTF kind of people scrape an academic site to turn old papers into podcasts, and then try to charge the author to access the audio?
    Fork that shirt!
    (The paper, btw, is probably as relevant now as then. As she writes: "sought to debunk the widespread belief that the internet was an inherently democratizing force")

  3. I just tried searching for #SarahKendzior on #Instagram, and found the #Meta #AI response odd. I I know she has no account there; to compare, I searched a couple of names of dead SilentGen people I knew who’d show zero results. The AI response was generic AI fake personality “I’m sorry give me more info” instead. Have I just not seen this kind of “issue” msg before, or have they flagged particular #searches? Wondering if this is the new #shadowbanning.

  4. @rgulick I agree Ray. I would say that #MerrickGarland, the #J6Committee, and the #media are complicit in creating an info vacuum around this critically important story. People are left to create theories, which in the current environment appear to be outside the mainstream. It's the Overton Window in action. #SarahKendzior covers this brilliantly in her latest book, #TheyKnew. And #60Minutes had an obligation to investigate this. #EdwardRMurrow is turning in his grave. #Disgusting. #Cowards.

    Impossible to pick seven books that “explain who I am” but these are all books I have read or re-read in recent times which I think about often and changed the way I see the world.
