  • It was a nazi rally organized by nazis where they literally marched down the street in columns at night with flaming torches shouting “blood and soil” and “the jews will not replace us,” both Nazi slogans. One of the nazis rammed his car into a crowd a anti racist protests at high speed, killling 1 and injuring dozens.

    This is the rally he replied to with “there are fine people on both sides.” He then hedged and said he didn’t support nazis, seconds after supporting nazis.

    It’s almost like the man could have flat out condemned nazis with no intentional ambiguity, but nah.




  • The IAs point is that they should not have to do that, partly because of first sale doctrine. They bought each ebook, and only lend out that copy, the exact same as libraries do now.

    1 bought copy, 1 lend. That’s a fair and simple system that mimics hundreds of years of physical book lending.

    Their other point is that the societal good of allowing anyone in the world to educate themselves for free far, far outweigh the value of monetary gain for publishers. Since copyright is intended to help society, their interpretation is the better application of it.



  • I think we should still be mad at foreign adversary nations colluding with one of our politcal parties and a not at all impartial “whistleblower” to turn the tide of a presidential election.

    The emails themselves were barely relevant at all politically. Out of some 30k of them, 3 were found to be inappropriately controlled. Thats hardly an earth shattering discovery.

    The spectacle that Assange, the GOP and Russia manufactured was the issue. It was a coordinated and targeted attack on our democracy, and he deserves to be derided for his outsized part in it.



  • Nuanced? That sounds like your HR/Management is just bad at their jobs. Why post an advert for a job that you won’t fill because it’s the wrong job, then actually interview people? That’s a huge waste of everyone’s time.

    The first step when a role is open is to have the team review and update the job for the necessary skillset. Not doing that is a buisness process failure.
