When @mkapor articulated the principle that "architecture is politics" at the founding of @EFF, he was charging technologists with the moral duty to contemplate the kinds of social interactions their technological decisions would facilitate - and prohibit.

At question was nothing less than the character of the networked society. Would the vast, pluripotent, general purpose, interconnected network serve as a glorified video-on-demand service, the world's greatest pornography distribution system, a giant high-tech mall?

One of the sweetest pleasures in this life is the astoundingly funny, long-running @BBCRadio4 comedy quiz show, @ISIHAClue. It is back for a 75th (!!!) series and:

Is.

Amazing.

I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue is very hard to describe. Essentially, it's a bunch of mock competitive quiz-show "games" that are both incredibly silly and incredibly weird, and (this is the magic bit), they never get tiresome.

2/
Now, much of that is down to the amazing comedians who use these games as frameworks for hilarious sketches (and, of course, the comedy writers who back them up).

Of all the dysfunctions of the famously cursed US healthcare system, few are so obviously a total scam as "surprise billing." Here's how that works: you go to a hospital (often its ER) that is covered by your insurer, and then, despite this, you get a giant bill. Surprise!

1/ An emergency room entrance ...
How can a hospital covered by your insurer hit you - and not your insurer - with a bill? Simple. A private equity company has convinced each of the medical professionals you interact with to secede from the hospital's payroll and form an LLC.

2/
The hospital contracts with your anesthesiologist's LLC, your trauma surgeon's LLC, the radiologist's LLC - sometimes the WHOLE ER is amputated from the hospital and then grafted back on in LLC form, under contract to the hospital as a standalone independent business.
