  • Personal data is highly sensitive. There is a very real need for people to keep their data private.

    But data is also capital. And we’re locked in a very real struggle between corporate powers trying to secure ownership over our personal data and civil society trying to protect their privacy.

    I can’t stress enough just how dangerous it is, especially given current world events, that big tech seems to appropriate personal data about people’s social networks, jobs, daily commutes, shopping habits, sexual preferences, political views etc.

















  • For now, the US isn’t going anywhere. Its bogged down in an immensely unpopular war that’s keeping its naval assets tied in the Persian Gulf. I am not expecting anything to happen until November.

    And even if a peace deal somehow materializes, the US has already burned up most of its strategic reserves of interceptors and long range missiles and its naval and air assets were already overdue for maintenance at the start of the war. Not to mention its naval and air bases in the Middle East cannot be rebuilt within running logistics through NATO countries.
