  • TBH it’s been frustrating to see how watered down the reporting has been this year.

    Listening to KQED (local NPR affiliate) I was hearing taking heads from the CATO institute and the Heritage Foundation, without any qualifications of what those orgs are.

    You can really feel the slide into milquetoast, neutered, both-sides press from every major outlet and the domestic landscape, but it’s still a head above trying to get your news from CNN/CNBC/MSNBC/WaPo.

    I can’t fathom people on this platform being offended by how left-wing the people’s Media has been though, historically, when NPR/PBS have gone out of their way to be so damned neutral and nakedly honest in their coverage, and have proceed ACTUAL journalism in even remote corners of our country.








  • My transaction sending a small amount of cash to a personal friend in Australia exited my account just fine, but failed to materialize in theirs today.

    I wonder if it’s affecting specifically Australia, because they were unable to open their own new account today for some kind of rate limiting or velocity timeout.

    Like if Wise have some microservice or compliance API calls failing for Australia markets specifically, that could explain these three failings that you’d expect headlines talking about a countrywide outage affecting that significant of a market.
