EA has been doing this for more than a decade already; they just weren’t promoting the ad sales pipeline publicly.

I refuse to believe that anyone using the internet to get smarter doesn’t know who Technology Connections is…

Water, fire, air and dirt; fucking magnets, how do they work?

You get ethically and sustainably raised organic chicken. Make whatever sandwich you want with that.

None of the things listed should be run by private corporations at all.

We don’t need competition and innovation in these spaces. We don’t need 35 different kinds of chicken sandwich. We don’t need “options” for gas and electric rates.

We need safe, abundant, high quality, environmentally conscious essential goods and services, delivered AT OR BELOW the cost required to produce and deliver them at scale.

Make it all public ownership.

Three-card monte has many different names too.

“The only thing that can stop a bad dog with a gun is a good dog with a gun.”

It still seems like letting people off the hook for media literacy is a knee jerk reaction. Since the dawn of Google, the VAST majority of people who use it have just treated the first result as gospel. I don’t know if scraping that same content and putting it in the same place with the word “Summary” above it is materially that different.

The core problem here is still individuals not taking accountability for their own education. I would actually argue that holding Google to the standard of somehow being “arbiters of truth” is even more dangerous. No one should trust any information presented to them by an entity that has vested financial interests in influencing consumer behavior.

The Dream and Magic were the beginning of an era!
