Meta employees publish an open letter to management (see below) to show how meta has promoted the genocide. This is how the suppression happens

Lavender should be viewed as a systematization of genocide. It creates the system by which mass murder is enabled and accomplished, and is the Auschwitz of this war.

To put the intercept article in broader context:
- Israel pushed lies about sexual violence
- NYT editors demanded an article to supprt it

Time to talk more about Dark (darklang.com), and making coding 100x easier.
Our aim with Dark is to make it 100x easier to code, for existing developers. (Side quest: making it 100x easier to code will _also_ make it easier for way more people to learn to code).

I’m being asked a lot why I haven’t named the VC firm whose party it was. Well, a bunch of reasons. (thread)
