Remember that being "neutral/balanced", and being "objective" are two very different things. Presenting both parties as equal in merit when they clearly aren't is still a form of bias.

Liberal Feminist win! This corporation that just poisoned the only water source for a small Nicaraguan village has a board of directors that's 80% female!

Rando: the leftists have taken over the universities!

University adjuncts: we do not even have job security

C was a mistake. Even in the 70s there were better programming languages. But, the outsized influence of AT&T and the popularity of Unix meant that they C won out. For four decades buffer overruns have reigned.

The industry is finally pulling itself out of the Dark Age of C. All major new languages are embracing strong safety guarantees and powerful type systems. The one exception is Go.

Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, both formerly of Bell Labs, are back with a new terrible programming language. Go has a pathetic type system, an astounding disregard for safety, and the backing of a massive tech company. It will ruin the next 40 years. 👿

Why Anti-Imperialists Should Support Trans Soldiers

– '...American culture prioritizes its military over civilians, which is anathema to the anti-imperialist worldview. It should not be so. But regardless, in an imperialist nation, the military represents what that nation feels is its truest self. Removing trans people from the military works to remold America’s conception of gender in general. It creates the terrain on which it becomes straightforward to erase us everywhere else. If we are banished from our country’s most revered institutions, we can easily be banished from its bathrooms...'
