What broke me and got me doing TikTok videos was every bloody piece I wrote was being read out by some fuckwit with a handheld mic who would get five million views and a million comments going 'wow so good to have proper journalism'... which was fine.... but the creator would reply 'THANKS ❤️'

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

The lesson here: if you believe a policy will deliver big and meaningful benefits then just ignore the polling and do it. Voters often don’t know what they want until they have it.

There's a small contingent of people online who get angry when you say this but: Wikipedia is unquestionably the most successful utopian project of the internet age, and its destruction would be a crime against humanity

Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity features piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, and governments www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...
