But just because lots of thoughtful, empathetic, responsible, kind-hearted people are scaling up their coordination game today doesn’t mean people on the other end of the human decency spectrum won’t figure out how to use the same coordination tools for purposes less noble.
@AricToler@trbrtc@johnismay@ajcardia@LeanneFaybraham@AzmatZahra The headline attributes the action to an inanimate object rather than to the humans who selected targets, authorized the strikes, and launched the weapons. Does anyone other than the U.S. plausibly have access to that same missile whose ID is is disputed only by the U.S.?
@AricToler@trbrtc@johnismay@ajcardia@LeanneFaybraham@AzmatZahra But missiles aren't agents. They don't act; they're fired. The grammatically and logically natural subject "implicated" here would be the U.S. military, or the U.S. government, or specific decision-makers.
Karoline Leavitt: "Some of the previous leaders are now no longer on planet Earth because they lied to the United States and they strung us along in negotiations, and that was unacceptable to the president, which is why many of the previous leaders were killed"
@IAPolls2022 What do you mean by "have" and "valid"?
Have, as in having been issued/granted by some authority? Or have, as in have available to present at the time of voting?
Valid, as determined by whom and for what purpose?

I've used Matter since private beta. Can't express to you how disappointing this enshittification is.

Join my @CIPolicy colleagues @NegarMortazavi and @SinaToossi for this discussion, which could not be more timely as reports of an imminent U.S. attack on Iran circulate.
@hanni_abu@owocki@devanshmehta ensuring a reliable pot of funding for public goods is a more immediate concern to me than deciding how to allocate what we don't yet have
@devanshmehta@owocki@hanni_abu yeah, i feel like the pgf carve-out needs to be hard-coded at the base level — as you say, optional tax doesn't work
deciding what public goods to fund strikes me as a nice-to-have problem after we've already solved for ensuring a steady stream of revenue
