It’s Medium Day. This is what these jokers are celebrating:
UN Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming discussing how we can make our information ecosystem safer and more humane
There is a genocide going on in Palestine, with at least 200,000 women and children dead, either form direct bombing, or sniping or malnutrition.
The US elections have turned into mudslinging events, with votes cast by non-citizens and widespread ballot fraud.
The EU has turned into an unelected oligarchy of despots, who are stealing our tax revenues to turn our peaceful lands and trading zone into a “military union”.
Taiwan is being disinherited as we speak, with its billion-dollar chip factories migrated to Texas. Taiwan will no longer be a trading and manufacturing powerhouse, running positive trade deficits, but a military camp running deficits.
Women are having their faces smashed in by gold-medal winning XY chromosome boxers, while Thomas Bach the head of the IOC, mumbles in Teutonic English that it’s impossible to determine what a woman is.
Israeli athletes, many of whom are IOF members and war criminals, participate in those Olympics with no restrictions.
All of this is before turning our attention to the Southern Hemisphere and Africa.
In the middle of these issues, the best Medium’s editors and publisher can come up with is online safe spaces?*
It’s a crying shame as there are some very good writers on Medium (great, I’m not sure yet), writing about the latest themes. The annual membership at $50 is great value. Unlike Substack where one must pay for every single author individually (libertarian individualism), Medium is one payment takes all (collective, communal) and writers are rewarded by foot traffic to their articles.
One day Medium will hopefully have a publisher who cares about the world and the people in it, instead of a navel-genital-gazing twit.**
* The publisher Medium CEO Tony Stubblebine rattles on an on about making Medium a trans-positive space. Not about changing the world to reduce poverty, not about raising educational standards, not about world peace. Trans is the one issue the chubby publisher really cares about. For the moment, I can’t determine if Stubblebine (a name straight out of the Shire) is a useful fool or a paid-for-spook-fool like Keir Starmer.
** Quora is just as badly slanted in favour of nonsensical woke liberalism to a constant thump of Orwellian war drums, Facebook is worse and X is on a steep hill downhill after a few months of relative freedom.
