A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

Joseph McCarthy’s War on Voice of America A largely forgotten campaign of harassment and persecution from the 1950s that still echoes today.

For years, I've been pointing out the recent attacks on the Voice of America echo McCarthyism and critics of the international broadcaster wanted its coverage of the US to be pure propaganda. This article articulates my argument far better than I have done. www.cjr.org/analysis/joseph-m... #SaveVOA

Columbia Agrees to $200 Million Fine to Settle Fight With Trump

You can never bend the knee enough to appease an authoritarian bully.

This is a devastating blow to academic freedom & freedom of speech at Columbia.

Never in the history of this nation has there been an administration so intent on the utter destruction of higher education as we know it.

Wait, in February Japan announced they would invest $1 trillion. So he managed to out-negotiate himself and cut the amount in half in only 5 months.

Let me fix that headline for you... "The president was booed as he confusedly wandered the stage and thought he was part of Chelsea, and shut down Newark airport for 4 hours so he could attend."

On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7 percent, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls. That evening, however, Ms. Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8 percent, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9 percent, the documents sho

Vincent Van Gogh - Tree Roots

I had the privilege of visiting the Van Gogh Museum in #Amsterdam last week. His final painting, Tree Roots, was especially moving. Unfinished and painted the morning before he succumbed to his mental illness, it's quite an emotional experience to see it in person. #art

Testing a Fresh Look for JetBrains IDEs | The JetBrains Platform Blog Visual context is always changing – and so should the look and feel of the tools you use every day. We know how much a familiar UI matters, and we’ve heard your feedback from past updates. That’s why

I'm loving this visual refresh for the JetBrains IDEs. I've been using it for a week or two already, and I'm a big fan of Many Islands, especially in dark mode. No functional or structural changes, just a nice, clean visual update. What do you think?

Career advice for developers:

Write normal code. Just the basic good stuff. Don't be fancy, don't be clever. Don't use currying everywhere. You don't need Docker for everything. Also don't write dumb code. Please write good code. But make it normal. As unsurprising as possible.

Thank you

The United States has sent a 79-year-old man with a limited vocabulary, whose face is painted in orange pigment and hair is I-Don't-Know-What to speak to America's interests at the G-7. He will do so in incomplete or broken sentences.

He will then report back as to who liked him and who he liked.

In serious countries that are actual democracies, strong mainstream parties force members who do stuff like this to resign, & far right authoritarian parties that do this are shunned from government. Here in 🇺🇸, one of our two parties has collapsed into far right authoritarianism. So neither happens.

In 2018, Donald Trump, then in his first term as US president, let Iran out of nuclear restrictions in exchange for nothing.

Many people, very much including me, warned that he put things on a path with only two possible outcomes: large-scale war, or a nuclear-armed Iran.

And here we are.
