Pursuant to the new moral stricture promulgated this week by the NYT & CNN -- that Mount Rushmore is a shameful monument to racism and white supremacy -- both CNN and Bernie Sanders ought to repent for this praise they jointly heaped on it in 2016: https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1279211368525320194 #Trump #Bernie #Greenwald #Sanders

DuckDuckGo burned a truckload of goodwill with me today
Their DDG-branded web browser for Android has a feature which [it doesn't matter what it does by design], but as a side effect it sends every URL you visited to DuckDuckGo's servers. That is the single worst thing they could do as a "privacy" focused web browser.
When this was pointed out to them, they doubled down. For a year. It took an HN front page (in the comments section they doubled down *again*) and 10 hours of arguing with them before the CEO stepped in and agreed to remove the feature.
Explain to me how it went from we just need to “flatten the curve” to “everybody needs to stay home until no one ever gets sick again, while our country crumbles all around us?” https://twitter.com/iheartmindy/status/1278479776764682240
