Can you imagine Mastodon raising 100 MILLION dollars from a crypto VC fund and failing to disclose it... for a full year? No I can't either.

Who'd have thought that a bill to constrain corporate donations to political parties in the UK contains many loopholes that would make it largely ineffective.... I wonder why that is?

Birds have figured out they can use them in their nests to repel insect parasites

The original intention of nicotine

Weird!

Marc Andreessen was right about web browsers.

But he has since been wrong about a great many things.

And he is entirely wrong about introspection.
