Apple has their heads so far up their asses. “Success hides a multitude of failures” applies completely to Apple. It’s so easy selling iPhones that their failure on so many other fronts hasn’t been as noticed as it should be.

Libertarians always think they’re the smartest people in the room, but never are. It’s an ideology for the naive.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

All these non-white right-wingers convince themselves that they’re part of the in-crowd, but they’ll always just be “brown” to that crowd. They’re nothing but useful idiots.
