“Tomahawk cruise missiles are currently only in the arsenals of the US and Britain. The weapon launches from ships and submarines and can strike targets precisely from 1,000 miles away (some 1,600 kilometers), even in heavily defended airspace.”

‘Anti-government activists in Belarus have claimed responsibility for an attack on a Russian Beriev A-50 surveillance aircraft at an airfield near Minsk.
They said the clandestine operation was carried out by a drone.
Alexander Azarau, the leader of the ByPol opposition organization, told Poland-based exile media channel Belsat the Machulishchi attack was conducted by Belarusians who have fled the country and were "in good hands."’

“Throughout the South, white southerners turned to violence, mass lynchings, and lawlessness in order to suppress and intimidate Black voters who were seeking to express themselves lawfully at the ballot box.”

“By the time of Mr. Menard’s election in 1868, in 10 of the 11 former Confederate states, approximately 80% of eligible Black men were registered voters. Consequently, many Black officials, particularly in the South where Black populations were much larger, were elected into public office. These officials faced fierce opposition and backlash from white people desperate to maintain a racial hierarchy.”

“During the debate, Mr. Menard became the first Black man to speak on the floor of the House of Representatives… Mr. Hunt did not even show up to testify and presented no evidence supporting his claims. However Congress refused to seat Mr. Menard by a vote of 130 to 57, because he was a Black man.”

- Panel 1: The welcome Inkling and Nibford give should be a large title font. Inkling and Nibford (smiling): Welcome to the Cartoonist Cooperative! Panel 2: Nibford looks unsure. Nibford: Wait…what does a Cartoonist Cooperative actually do? Inkling: Oh, that’s easy! Panel 3: Inkling and Nibford dressed in smoking jacket/robes sitting and reading comics in a private library? Inkling: It’s a curated, searchable database of comics, from minis to graphic novels, new and old! Nibford: Ooh, to make everyone’s work easy to find in one place? Inkling: Yes! Panel 4: Inkling and Nibford walking across a series of hands held out in front of them. Nibford: I see! And what’s the cooperative part? Inkling: The co-op’s members contribute to a mutual marketing effort of each other’s work based on a communal release schedule! (remote)
- Panel 5: Inkling and Nibford work at tables drawing comics. Around them are other drawing utensils (an eraser, a ruler, a pencil) who are also drawing comics. Inkling: Members can also work and learn in community with other cartoonists, exchange skills, industry information, gain mentorship and more! Panel 6: Inkling flexes his tiny arm. Nibford: What does it cost to join? Inkling: Nothing but sweat! If the co-op helps you in some way, we expect you to return the favor to some of your fellow members. Panel 7: Nibford looks skeptical. Nibford: Why shouldn’t I just do this on my own? Inkling: Making comics is a lot of hard work and we don't always get treated fairly… …but together, we can make comics work better for everyone! Panel 8: Inkling and Nibford walk towards a door floating in empty space. Above it, says https://cartoonist.coop/submit Nibford: I like the sound of that! Where do I sign-up? Inkling: Right this way!

“the AAR has paid for dozens of sponsored articles in the Washington Post and Politico, two publications widely read by the “policymakers and opinion elites” who the group targets with its messages of innovation and self-regulation. Under headlines such as “No need to fix a freight rail system that is thriving” and “How America’s freight railroads became great again,” the AAR touts its members’ impact on the US economy and warns of the consequences of new regulations.”

Nobody is asking for Safari or Chrome to go away, or to be less good, or even to lose share.
All anyone on the side of competition -- and not some petty, local agenda -- cares about is an even playing field.
Noting the bad outcomes from a lack of competition, to users, developers, and to competing teams and their engineers, is not beyond the pale. It's sunlight.
It's sad that it's so unusual that for some it's blinding. But we must not waver, competition matters.
