#Critics of #Google are unhappy with the remedies ruling in the #DoJ’s #antitrust case against the company. They believe the remedies, which include sharing search data with competitors but not breaking up Google or ending its default search deals, don’t go far enough to address Google’s dominance and restore competition. https://www.theverge.com/news/769738/google-doj-antitrust-remedies-ruling-critics?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Dear Sir:

Thou eunuch of language; thou Englishman, who never was south the Tweed; thou servile echo of fashionable barbarisms; thou quack, vending the nostrums of empirical elocution…

—Robert Burns, Letter to a critic

I love Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory. It's an amazing economic simulation with huge ambitions. And yet, it rarely comes to the table. The reason is simple. It takes about half an hour to set up. You have to separate card decks, shuffle them, put a number of different components into different locations and do various other things before you can start playing. While Hegemony is a heavy game, it's not its complexity that is the problem. It's the effort of setting it up. That made me think about whether a critical board game review should consider this or if this is more the remit of a product review.

„The focus on air drops into Gaza is a "grotesque distraction" that will not reverse the territory's deepening #starvationcrisis, aid agency leaders have warned. (…)
Ciarán Donnelly, of the International Rescue Committee, said aid drops could "never deliver the volume or the quality" of aid needed, however.“

#JDVance has threatened his #critics with #deportation via a GIF image. One #Republican congressman even suggested that an undocumented immigrant be thrown out of a helicopter, Pinochet style. Faced with criticism over one such taunting post, Kaelan Dorr, a White House propagandist, announced: “The arrests will continue. The memes will continue.”
