This week on @onthemedia I'm making the case that the New York Times has become a tech company, set on occupying our every second. Plus, I went to the @Defector vs @HellGateNY softball game to learn about worker-owned media. It's a good show! Should be online in a couple hours

Sotomayor to Thomas:
"The three Justices of color on this Court graduated from elite universities and law schools with race-conscious admissions programs, and achieved successful legal careers, despite having different educational backgrounds than their peers."

At the end of the day, the Titanic Missing Billionaire Submarine story is a perfect distillation of 21st Century capitalism: A small group of very rich people assume a clearly irresponsible risk. It goes predictably wrong. Scores more in public resources are used to save them...

Adam Friedland: [America] is a fading empire…
Chris Cuomo: A fading empire? That’s what you see us as?
Friedland: We hit a jackpot off World War II, we rebuilt Europe, probably blew it in one and a half generations.

Targeting this bail fund isn't just an an attack on activism, it shows the erosion of rule of law in this country. This isn't just trying to intimidate 1 organization, but is taking aim at national movement opposed to jailing Americans without a trial.

Interesting new FTC settlement with Ring. Really damning findings that 1000s of employees/contractors had unlimited access to Ring videos and that more than 55,000 US devices were compromised because of lax security. Sadly the fine is a slap on the wrist

Do Death Stars pose a threat to the galaxy? Yes, but if we don't build it first then the rebel alliance will.
