“This is America, where a white, Catholic, male, Republican judge was murdered on his way to greet a Democratic, Jewish, woman member of Congress, who was his friend. Her life was saved initially by a 20-year-old, Mexican-American, gay college student, and eventually by a Korean-American combat surgeon, all eulogized by our African-American President.”

“Where Google’s services represented things I care about — discovery, curiosity, and transparency — Facebook represents that I don’t care about — narrowing, nattering, tribalism, etc. More than not caring, these are mostly things for which I have active contempt, as they represent the antithesis of curiosity and openness, things that Google (mostly) facilitates, and that Facebook (mostly) doesn’t.”
