Just give Biden 20 years on Gaza. He's been wrong about every major issue at the time (Vietnam, crime bill, Iraq, etc) but usually comes around within a few decades.

@BillAckman @NeriOxman @MIT Complete inability to take responsibility. Your wife, who took money from Jeffrey Epstein to fund her lab, repeatedly copied and pasted other people's work and passed it off as her own. Plagiarism. Apparently a lot of people do it. You should look into it!

The millionaire and billionaire tech execs, VCs, and financiers promoting RFK Jr. are doing it to ratfuck Dems. Many of them are vocal DeSantis supporters -- David Sacks is basically part of his campaign. Whether you like RFK Jr or Biden or whomever, their motives are very clear.

I'll be repeating this until I die: tech isn't neutral. It has built-in capacities, intended use cases. It's informed by the sociopolitical and economic conditions under which it's produced and deployed (and commercialized, as the case may be). A nuke isn't neutral, nor is crypto

Technology innovations do not threaten anyone. They are neutral. Anyone can adopt them. If anyone feels threatened, it's probably because they are mismanaged. In other words, their own mismanagement are threatening themselves.

"as Hamas shifts position on cease-fire" They could just write that Hamas accepted the cease-fire proposal but that would be clear, succinct, and accurate.
