Khanna: They’re saying this technology is going to be bigger than nuclear, bigger than electricity, bigger than aviation. Last I checked, we have an FAA for aviation, nuclear energy is regulated, and electricity is regulated.  So you’re telling me on one hand that this is going to be bigger, and then you’re saying you don’t want any regulation. I mean, it makes no sense.

1. If approved by the Court, this class action settlement with John Deere will be a catastrophe for farmers and for the broader right-to-repair movement. It will sacrifice the legal rights of hundreds of thousands of farmers for a pittance in damages and a mandate for John Deere to provide repair materials that is riddled with loopholes and, I believe, will ultimately accomplish nothing. For starters, let’s talk about the damages. The repair restrictions by John Deere have been estimated to cost farmers $4.2 billion per year. This lawsuit priginally sought damages suffered by farmers as a result of John Deere’s illegal conduct over the FIVE years before the date of suit. That’s an estimated $21 billion in damages. This settlement gets farmers just $99 million — before attorneys fees are taken out. You do the math. But what makes this settlement truly abhorrent is that it purports to solve the right-to-repair problem, when in reality it gives John Deere MULTIPLE LOOPHOLES through which to keep infringing on farmers’ rights to repair their own equipment and profit from that infringement *at the exact same scale* it’s doing so right now. Let’s talk about it. Here are just five of those loopholes.🧵

John Deere has to pay farmers $99 million to resolve a class action right-to-repair lawsuit. The company will also provide farmers with access to repair materials for 10 years.

@LukewSavage Kant says that we experience the sublime when we are confronted with someone so awesome it overwhelms, yet through reason we can consider even infinity as a whole thus overcome it. Surely this the feeling a young person moving the First Contact box in and out of the light.

Imagine building an entire media bias rating system and then giving Jacobin the same score as The New York Times opinion section and MSNBC.

@d_h_sanders Umm... OK? I am happy to admit that the Trump administration is not doing anything to protect anti-war protestors. It is not using any powers coercive or suggestive to support these protestors.

Paths of Glory, Barry Lyndon, and Full Metal Jacket all remarkable too. Lolita easily a notch or two below. People putting the Killing in their top 4 are lying to themselves.
