Finding The Right Words On Gaza

"Wang Yi, the foreign minister of China, has found the right words to describe the ongoing genocide in Gaza:
Chinese foreign minister calls war in Gaza a 'disgrace for civilisation' - AFP / Le Monde, Mar 3 2023China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday, March 7, called Israel's war in Gaza a "disgrace for civilization" and reiterated Beijing's calls for an "immediate ceasefire."

Wang Yi, speaking to the media during the annual meeting of China's legislature, also said that relations with the US have improved since Xi Jinping and Joe Biden met in November, but that America has not fulfilled its promises.Le Monde with AFP (Le Monde)
This should be a viral national story in #US. After this team unanimously unionized, Google refused to come to the bargaining table.
A resolution supporting the workers was brought to the city council. The day the workers showed up to testify on the resolution, Google laid off the entire team.
This was the precise instant when YouTube Music employees became aware that we had lost our jobs, as we were addressing the City Council.
Finally some refreshing honesty from US Republicans!
It is great when they finally outline their election platform:

In the upcoming #US #presidential #election, Biden and Trump are on the #ballot. Both may have cognitive limitations, but let's not beat around the bush β some question Trump's mental sharpness too. So, let's play a round of "Top #Trumps" to compare who's more fit for the job.
Well, maybe we should measure it by who has fewer limitations, senility-wise?
So draw a card and let's compare:
Senility:
Biden 40, Trump 60
Erectile dysfunction:
Biden 40, Trump 60
Biden is leading for now, but what's the next card, and who will be the better #seniorcitizen?
It's not just about memory lapses; it's about leadership and vision. So, who's got the edge?

No, given #Trump's score, no, I don't think they do....

Decentralization is the only way to systemically fight social media disinformation
#Russia 's information warfare in the #US didn't stop after Trump was elected. And US social network giants have failed to address it in the last 4 years. Partly because they directly benefit from content engagement, partly because as centralized platforms with billions of users, they naturally offer a bigger incentive to spread misinformation than any effort they are willing to mount to fight it.
The real solution, of course, is breaking the system into human-sized parts, through #decentralization. Even the biggest english-speaking #Fediverse instance has only 400,000 users, which makes it a mediocre target for misinformation with no opportunity for paid reach towards the nearly 3 million #Fediverse users.
You too can join the Fediverse and reduce paid agitators' incentive: https://fediverse.party/en/fediverse/
