That's what newsletters and emails from the APS - American Physical Society - keep telling me. Which I find to be a bit odd, to say the least. Just deleted the most recent email letter from the APS President. Pity, as it was too dumb for words. However, here's a sample . These bloviated exercises i...

The internet does not seem to be bringing us all together, but it does seem to be making us all the same! Maybe? https://www.wsj.com/articles/lgbt-rights-are-flashpoint-in-culture-war-dividing-europes-east-and-west-11597593600 " TUCHÓW, Poland—Last year, this small Polish town near the eastern...

The Spectator | Britain has won the biggest Brexit prize of all If impoverishing your population in the name of competitiveness is the prize the English wanted, I am very happy they got it. I wish their population luck, because luck is all they have now. Over here in the US, I've noticed a peculiar...

My impression is there is wide spread discontent among the Chinese people against the CCP. Especially among western educated in the west and primarily doctors that came to the US to get their medical degrees. Hence all of the leaks coming out of the CCP that are negative to it. This is a wild exagg...

Spenglerman reviews a recent book about China and opines on same. David Goldman | Why China is Anti-Fragile It is high time to focus on what China does right rather than what it does wrong—and undertake to do it better. Wow, Goldman has been struck by common sense for once. For people who are alrea...

Mike Judge was absolutely prescient.

Nope it started with the 1960's counter culture in Colleges and Universities Then when all the soft "Science" Types went on to teach their leftist ideology and lack of teaching critical thinking. That generation of 60's youth went on to lead US intellectual output to its zenith in all fie...

I'll take self-hatred over outward-directed hatred any day of the week and I bet you would, too.

"I found it on the Internet, it must be true!" "I read it online in the NY Times, it must be true!" That would be a lot funnier if you hadn't been posting Zero Hedge for years now :lol: Returning to the subject, what you posted is obvious nonsense to anyone who has actually foll...

There is no question the US is headed for a reckoning at some point, probably in the medium term (5-10 years out). Anecdotally (haven't checked the stats), inflation is picking up in food items, and certainly in housing, health care, and various technology goods (although these are due in large part...

Tablet Mag | Bringing the Middle East Back Home The American Orientalist Class attempts to paint a fantasy Middle Eastern landscape on the American canvas As Americans, we’ve gone from glorifying the politics of crowds, to celebrating the tribalization of American society and the elevation of the c...

"I found it on the Internet, it must be true!"

The central bank has a limited set of knobs to turn to stabilize the economy. The assumption is that the American people will do the rest by enacting legislation and crafting policies to create fair access to the nation's economic bounty. Unfortunately, the American people have lost their ability to...

Free enterprise? I think not "free enterprise for me but not for thee" is not capitalism or free enterprise Currently in the US the name of the game is crony capitalism. Not free enterprise. excessive greed on the part of extremely wealthy people in places like Sillycons Valley and New Yo...

Now that it is well known that the tech companies are biased, the govt should eliminate the platform exemption they have given the SM companies, and treat them the same as the racist restaurant owner. That's a rather poor analogy. A restaurant cannot refuse to serve you for being e.g., black or gay...

People who don't like the way google search, twitter, youtube, facebook configure and moderate-censor their service because they have a left-wing | anti-republican | trump-hating bias might consider just stop using those platforms/"publishers" and move elsewhere. There are alternatives an...

You are still unable to demonstrate how tech companies are limiting your right to free speech. You can say, publish, and communicate anything you'd like on your iPhone, your Android phone, your Windows machine, and your Mac.

I hope that Biden brings in Taiwanese or PRC consultants to fix our coronavirus response. I would be completely in favor of leasing United States governance to them for a period of 8 years. They're so much more competent than us. Well if Biden asks his boss a few months from now if he will surely t...

US hospitals, profit or not, must serve anyone who walks in regardless of ability to pay. Using the Experian service might easily be a violation of law. This is highly misleading. When most people discuss the cost of healthcare, they are referring to having their conditions treated. US hospitals wi...

I am so happy someone is keeping a list!

Numbers, especially economic numbers are hard, aren't they, Doc? Being able to interpret data is a required skill for the 21st century workplace.

On second thought, you might be onto something, Doc. One unintended benefit of gutting Section 230 would be that it would stifle all conservative speech on the Internet. We know that right wingers tend to be more violent and abusive in their dialogue, particularly online. This would open up companie...

If you don't want to be made fun of for blatantly contradicting yourself every other post, stop doing it. I'm really just looking out for you, man.

I have bolded the only important part which you are ignoring. Twitter Faceboook and Google are publishers except that the 1996 communication act, which predates all three, dictates they are not publishers for no good reason. Time to fix that They are not publishers of content that users post and th...
