Point of order from an American: Politico is a wholly owned subsidiary of German multinational Axel Springer.

I know it's easy to be cynical, but isn't all this coming out specifically because the FTC under the Biden Administration sued to stop this merger? Credit where credit is due for that.

After the Civil Rights Act was signed by LBJ, there was a massive party realignment, and the Republican Party of Eisenhower's time died

I live in Texas, and can confidently tell you the people writing these laws have no fundamental concept of what the internet is or how to implement or enforce such a law for consistent adherence.

I can also tell you with confidence this law will be wielded with impunity against specific companies/sites our corrupt, petulant AG decides to go after. Fuck Ken Paxton.

As far as users in Texas, this is nothing a VPN can't fix.

My man, if Obama or Biden had free reign, we'd be living in a very different world right now. The feet you need to hold to the fire are in Congress

Reading this full article, omg lay off the random survey stats. Whoever wrote this probably confused themselves. Also it should be noted 29-36 year olds are still Millennials for fuck's sake. We spent our entire youths getting shat on by rags like Fortune, but I guess they're ready to suck Gen Z's dick now that their business model has been completely broken

If you took a look at geologic time and understood it, you would be frightened with how quickly average temperatures worldwide have been increasing, which is how I know you're full of shit and know nothing about geologic time

I should have clarified 15°C, which would be a shift of 27°F. It's hard to overstate how devastating that would be to the ecology of Northern Europe, potentially sending Ireland near permafrost territory and ending agriculture and pastoralism as they know it
