It’s amazing how much more money Steve Ballmer has made off Satya Nadella than Nadella himself has made — CEO as victim of capitalist exploitation. https://t.co/4i1fQUdL61

I think the stories reporting good news on the subversion front tend to get overlooked, but it's important to pay attention comprehensively.

The progressive tax on ads proposal from @paulmromer strikes me as far and away the most compelling policy response to the dueling concerns about misinformation & censorship in digital media.

The idea that we’re going to solve vaccine resistance by being more emphatic that mainstream medical and media figures are strongly pro-vax doesn’t withstand even cursory scrutiny — need to either come up with better ideas or learn to live with the vaccination rate we have.

Count on it.
