I've been reading comments from Americans online. Some say "Iran started it." Really? Iran started it by... existing? Iran started it by... negotiating? Iran started it by... not surrendering? America and Israel have been attacking Iran for 70 years. 1953 coup. Supporting Saddam. Killing Soleimani. Bombing consulates. Assassinating scientists. And when Iran FINALLY fights back, YOU say Iran started it? Your ignorance is deadly. Educate yourself. #HistoryLesson #USEmpire #IsraelTerrorState #IranD

William Jay, a #Congregationalist minister in England, cuts straight to the point: piety without benevolence is hypocrisy.

Let go of StackOverflow; communities must take ownership

Despite the title this is less a directive and more a description of what has already happened, and how I came to realize it. Still, there are many who remember StackOverflow as a revelation in the mid-2010s and think some vestige of those times remain. They think if they make an effort to distill their confusion into a question and post it there they will be rewarded. Perhaps some scarce few will, but a better way exists.
