Too little, too late: The cynical calculus of banning Donald Trump
The math is a little different for Apple and Amazon, but the calculus is similar. Apple’s primary business is in hardware and subscriptions, but it also makes money from payments through its app store. The more companies they can take money from, the better. So while booting the Trump-friendly social network Parler had no impact on Apple’s bottom line, the last thing Apple wants is to set a precedent where it’s playing moderator for any app that might host harmful content. The more open the internet, the more open the app store, the more money Apple makes. The same holds true for Amazon Web Services, which also dumped Parler: Jeff Bezos wants to make money, not court controversy. … [Read more...] about Too little, too late: The cynical calculus of banning Donald Trump
It’s time to start treating Trump like a fringe cult leader

The signs depicting Trump’s cozy relationship with Vladimir Putin marked the extreme fishiness of Team Trump’s many varied meetings with Russian officials throughout the election, and anticipated years of overblown hype for the woefully wishy-washy but still misrepresented Mueller Report. The Black Lives Matter signs alluded to Trump’s inflaming of white grievance, starting with a five-year embrace of the racist Birther conspiracy against President Obama, and they foreshadowed four years of white supremacists having a champion in the White House—and Black voters playing a pivotal role in removing him from office. … [Read more...] about What looking back at Trump’s inauguration tells us about Biden’s presidency
Why the Hot Dog Costume Guy meme perfectly captures the downfall of Trump
Hot Dog Costume Guy is actually Tim Robinson, cocreator and star of the Netflix sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave. Debuting in the spring of 2019, the show quickly earned a massive cult following for its all-killer-no-filler first season that clocked in at a lean 90 minutes. Within weeks of its release, ITYSL spawned an entire repertoire of catchphrases for comedy nerds, along with one ubiquitous meme, the Focus Group Guy. Over time, however, fan attention online has migrated more toward another sketch, one that has recently become eminently relevant. … [Read more...] about Why the Hot Dog Costume Guy meme perfectly captures the downfall of Trump
