This is what we call a hot take

Laughable that as the article begins to talk about publishers the Atlantic paywall shows up. Definitely not another reason why the web is dying.

This is literally because the US does not officially recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. If they were to call it Palestine, they would be undermining the government’s stance. That doesn’t mean they agree with it, in fact her slipping on it could be a sign she personally disagrees with the government’s stance. However the feds have never formally recognized it as a state and for them to do so publicly would put their jobs in jeopardy.

Not agreeing with any of it, just wanted to make sure the reason this is happening is clear.

$90 trillion great wealth transfer. As if that money is going into the hands of people who aren’t already obscenely wealthy to begin with.

Hey, if you understand Python it makes sense. If you’ve used the PIL before it makes even more sense. If you don’t understand Python, you should probably start by understanding Python.

The article doesn’t implicate cars as the main reason, or even necessarily indirectly, it does mention climate change which can be linked with cars but I think it’s secondary to the abundant use of pesticides and general attempts to reduce bug populations than cars themselves.

That being said, fuck cars.

Is Wired owned by Advance? The answer is yes. Condé Nast is a subsidiary of Advance. Advance has a 30 percent stake in Reddit.

This is why they call it “the Internet’s Greatest Authenticity Machine” because we know there’s nothing authentic about that cesspool. There’s even less authenticity behind a biased news article framing itself as disconnected from the subject. Not once do I see mention of Wired’s relationship to Reddit, if your owner has a 30% stake you should disclose that.

Edit: even more important is that Condé Nast itself acquired Reddit in 2006, which is where Advance’s significant stake comes from. Is that supposed to be inferred or understood prior to this article? News media needs to be accountable for this kind of reporting.

What’s the 2020s without constant reminders of our immune systems being under siege?

This isn’t even aggressive, they’re literally showing they won’t work for the company if the company isn’t willing to work for them. All the unions in the US have to play politics with the government and corporations in order to keep things flowing smoothly, one false move and the corporations have the upper hand. With that kind of advantage, it’s the corporations who are aggressive here.

“Why are you destroying your yard with an abundance of bees and butterflies? This isn’t fantasy land we need nothing but grass here to look nice”

They’re under active litigation, why would they comment about something that they are being sued over? It’s obviously a huge legal issue. Not saying they should just stick to their narrative because they’re obviously wrong, but what are we supposed to expect? They’re not going to give up evidence by publicly releasing details.

This “someone” sounds an awful lot like a nation-state actor.
