some really bad laws were passed in reaction to the 9/11 attack:
"Section 702 allows the government to collect — from U.S. firms like Google and without a warrant — the communications of targeted foreigners. That authority, which grew out of the Bush administration’s post-Sept. 11 warrantless surveillance program, will expire at the end of December unless lawmakers extend the law.
Congress previously reauthorized the law in 2012 and 2018. But it faces an uncertain fate this cycle. A faction of hard-right Republicans are opposing it in alignment with former President Donald J. Trump’s hostility to the “deep state,” joining forces with liberal-leaning civil liberties advocates who have long had concerns about how Section 702 allows the government to scoop up some communications of Americans without a warrant and make it available to intelligence and law-enforcement officials."

"The Republican-led House voted on Wednesday to reduce the salary of Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III to $1, as right-wing lawmakers tried to transform a Pentagon spending bill and a series of other funding measures into weapons to take aim at President Biden, his agenda and his top officials."

There's a whole industry which is working with the web platform. Oddly, only few care about #HTML
It's trivialized into the void.
Some even deny it is a programming language you can (should?) learn.
That's why I created the HHTML meetup in #Hamburg ⚓
Happening tomorrow. 💜

oh, ouch: "Mr. Kise said in court that the ruling could oust the sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, from their New York homes, which he said are owned through the types of limited liability companies that Justice Engoron dissolved. Mr. Kise also asked whether the ruling meant that Mr. Trump would have to sell assets including Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street, a downtown commercial property, or whether they could be managed by an independent receiver who the judge said would oversee the dissolution of the canceled companies.
Justice Engoron did not provide a clear response. "

Regarding a prior boost[1]: One thing I learned about Luddites reading that comic that I didn't know before was that they were operating in a context where trade unions and collective bargaining had been made illegal.

The more I learn about Luddites, the harder it is for me to hold my tongue when I encounter people using the term in the modern sense. 😆
