Comrade Cory Doctorow is correct as usual its tragic how absolutely capture capital and political systems are by dying generation of reactionaries whose entire political ideology is a refusal to change with the times.

QGIS for life

Crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried lost big on Tuesday despite airdropping a historic sum into a congressional race in Oregon. What was he thinking? The logic, the math, and the aftermath.
