What I’m afraid of, this December, are the conditions that allow hope to take hold. I’m worried that the “worst year ever” feeling is half a condition of the Internet, of the way we experience the news as delivered through social media. Everything feels too intimate, too aggressive; the interfaces that were intended to cheerfully connect us to the world have instead spawned fear and alienation. I’m worried that this sense of relentless emotional bombardment will escalate no matter what’s in the news.]]> news internet history https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:d0376c9eee26/ 2019-06-04T04:19:26+00:00 https://popula.com/2019/05/20/how-to-read-the-news/ matthewmcvickarMost of what you’ll hear about is paid for by someone; benefits someone. If there is information that might hurt the reputation of anyone in power—their exercise of that power, or their ability to make money—massive resources will be spent to conceal it from you, divert your attention, change the subject.]]> news journalism climatecrisis https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:1473d2670ae0/ 2018-10-01T23:16:44+00:00 https://theintercept.com/2018/09/29/the-unbearable-dishonesty-of-brett-kavanaugh/ matthewmcvickarImportantly, having “no recollection” of the night in question, or no “knowledge” of the alleged events is not the same as saying it didn’t happen — especially since Ford never alleged that anyone but Kavanaugh and Judge witnessed the assault. So why would a judge, someone presumably familiar with the implications of what it often means when a witness avers they “do not recall,” so grossly mischaracterize the nature of those statements?]]> politics news assault rape fucktheseguysstraighttohellforever https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:matthewmcvickar/b:04bdec28b01b/ 2012-03-08T15:03:31+00:00 http://kingsofwar.org.uk/2012/03/joseph-kony-and-crowdsourced-intervention/ matthewmcvickarJoseph Kony deserves to be put in cuffs and dragged before the ICC. Raising the profile of the heinous nature of the guy’s crimes is awesome. The idea that popular opinion can be leveraged with viral marketing to induce foreign military intervention is really, really dangerous. It is immoral to try and sell a sanitised vision of foreign intervention that neglects the fact that people will die as a result.]]> kony world news https://instapaper.com/
