Ana Rodrigues: In defense of unpolished personal websites. “My imperfect and unpolished code on my personal website isn’t the full reflection on my technical abilities or knowledge of web development standards.

Timothy Snyder: Unfreedom at the Washington Post: How an editorial line fosters #authoritarianism

"Jeff Bezos, who owns Washington Post, has announced its #editorial line: 'We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.' The use of these terms in this way demeans the concept of #freedom and pushes the country in the direction of #tyranny."

A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky

"Let’s be clear. There is only one force in the world that can bring peace unilaterally, at any moment: Russia. Putin can order his troops to leave Ukraine and end the war any minute he wants. But Putin doesn’t want peace, he wants Ukraine."

The Kyiv Independent · Editorial: A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t ZelenskyBy The Kyiv Independent

As the climate crisis accelerates -- more intense rain, more damaging hurricanes, damaging droughts, catastrophic, city destroying wildfires --- what you want to do is bolster and improve your weather forecasting and warning systems, improve your disaster response, help prepare communities to reduce impacts from disasters, invest in better firefighting. That means more investment, and more people helping to keep all of us safe. It's clear (it has been clear for a long time) the folks in charge here now don't care about anyone but themselves, and really don't care if you die. #editorial #wx

sailing-dulce.nl/home/article- #nature #editorial #assaultonscience #jeffbezos #TheWashingtonPost #Congo #COVID19 Donderdag 27-02-2025 Van de week publiceerde het gezaghebbende wetenschappelijk tijdschrift Nature een editorial, waarvan de kop hierboven staat. 'It is hard to put into words the extent of the damage being done to the US research enterprise, which is of almost incalculable value to both the nation itself and the wider world'. De inhoud is glashelder: de Amerikaanse president en zijn dom..

That’s it: #Bezos has now taken personal control over WaPo’s #editorial position. I’m out. Cancelled my #WaPo sub, which I’ve had for about five years now.

The #LATimes is next on the block. It’s the only major Southern California paper in existence at this point, but no news may indeed be preferable to fucked-up, #fascism-serving, #billionaire-hugging alternative “news”.

Artificial Intelligence is profiting from human creativity – creators deserve their fair share

The Independent · Artificial Intelligence is profiting from human creativity – creators deserve their fair shareBy Editorial

Local press accuses city officials of secrecy. Officials sue, to silence local press, not feeling ironic at all. Judge sides with the fascists! Orders paper to remove editorial! Paper will appeal. Wowza.
