Also I'm pretty sure the range of 5G is less than 20km.

How do they prevent that thing from drifting off?

Sowas in der Welt zu schreiben ist allerdings schon der blanke Hohn.

Gilt auch in Personalunion?

Ich wollte das erst später posten. Doch die Meldungen der letzten Tage zu nahen Kippvorgängen im Erdsystem nebst globaler Abkehr von einst etablierter Rationalität gibt nun tragischen Anlass. Ab 7.5. ist im Kino zu sehen, wie drei Akteure aus den Wissenschaften mit alldem umgehen.

Vaguely recall how Biden admin emails to Twitter were the biggest attack on free speech ever. There was a whole twitter files thing about that.

Curious where are Elon, Taibbi, Bari and crew on this?

One of my favourite literary images is from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
It's about a guy building an insane asylum. But he built it in such a way, that the outer sides of the walls were facing inside.

Muss immer an diesen alten Witz denken wo ein Unternehmen einen Berater beauftragt Einsparpotential zu finden.

Here are the top findings:

Entnehme dem "Economist":

Es gibt in den USA inzwischen eine dreistellige Zahl an Gesetzen, die den Universitäten vorschreiben, was (nicht) unterrichtet werden darf.

Rats are highly social animals. So yes. Very unfair.

Of course they're not surprised.
But it's a convenient escape hatch from responsibility.

New York Times headline: Libertarians: We Told You So With an image of a big black boot stomping a snake

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

An underrated good the next Democratic administration could do with virtually zero actual political blowback from voters would be to come in with anti-trust laws like a wrecking ball and break up media and tech companies. It would fuck up The Other Side, too.

Noch schlimmer finde ich ja für was man sich heutzutage nicht entschuldigen muss.
