like, I've covered telecom for two decades and I genuinely can't remember the last time I saw folks who advocated for the dismantling of the FCC or unchecked merger mania EVER face any sort of reputational consequence. doesn't exist. just memory holed.

if you're a libertarian or republican who spent the last thirty years advocating for a complete dismantling of the regulatory state and mindless consolidation, you'll never, ever be forced to own the repercussion of that very unpopular policy position because the mainstream press genuinely couldn't care less when it comes to spelling it out to readership

If I’ve learn one thing while being here is that Mastodon users are obsessed with smooth scrolling.

JFC. the GOP's PRIMARY policy position for literally FIFTY YEARS has been a frontal assault on ALL meaningful corporate oversight, environmental regulations, and consumer protections. It's documented. It's proven. It's not subtle.

feckless "both sides" "view from nowhere" reporting is going to drive me to an early grave

I wrote (yet again) about the "protect the children" moral panic regarding the internet, and how we should focus on raising kids to be safe in the real world, rather than trying to force the internet to be perfectly safe. Reality is that not everyone is great. Pretending that everything is safe does not prepare people for real life. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/24/rather-than-making-the-internet-safe-for-kids-make-your-kids-safe-for-the-real-world/

To be clear, I’m a huge VR proponent, and own a Vive VR rig. I spent a lot of time in Second Life back in the day, and look forward to a really good meta-verse being developed for VR.

It's the NFT thing I take issue with. Making that part of your product tells me you are chasing fads and buzzwords, and not thoughtfully considering the world's best interests.

What does this week's NLRB decision mean for the people who already signed such non-disparagement clauses but deeply want to disparage their terrible former bosses? The answer is unclear, almost chaotically so.
