3 steps to reduce the exorbitant power of Big Tech:
#Break up dominant tech firms
Require (more) #interoperability
#Tax dominant tech firms
3 steps to foster public-interest alternatives:
Build up public digital #infrastructure including #commons and #FOSS
Use public #procurement as a lever for alternatives

Almost Everything in “Dr. #Strangelove” Movie Was True
Half a century after Kubrick’s mad general, Jack D. #Ripper, launched a #nuclear strike on the #Soviets to defend the #purity of “our precious bodily fluids” from #Communist subversion, #American officers did indeed have the ability to start a Third World War on their own. Despite the #safeguards since then, the risk of an #accidental or #unauthorized nuclear detonation hasn’t been completely eliminated.

Trump to Bring Back Spoils System
As toxic as #American #democracy has become, it’s more functional today than it was the 1800s when the shadowy bosses of political machines vied for power and profit
Until recently, modern politics has been comparatively civilized due to laws & institutions that reduced #corruption & promoted democracy
History reminds of the importance of #safeguards for functioning of democracy & danger of Trump’s plan to destroy them

The #IDF denies any involvement in the hospital bombardment, & says it has #evidence that the #IslamicJihad was responsible for a failed rocket launch which hit the #AlAhli #hospital.

Late Tuesday, a #fake account on #X (#Twitter) purporting to be the #IDF tweeted in Arabic that the army was taking blame for the #hospital attack.
The tweet got >1M views — a massive number in a country w/ a population of ~9M.
It’s the latest example of the #uncontrolled #misinformation that has spread virally during the #war, complicating the public’s (in)ability to determine what’s real.
