Brexit? This election is about something much bigger than that.

It is about who the UK exists for — the rich alone, or everyone in Britain.

Do you really want a world where every line you've ever uttered, every joke you've ever made, can be dug up, stripped of context, flipped in meaning, and used as evidence against you, in an instant trial with no appeal?

The latest fashion in planet-roasting politics: recognize the causes of global heating, but delay real action until decades from now when it will be too late.

The native life of the Farallon Islands can be protected from introduced mice by eradicating them.

Mice are not endangered, so I think we should proceed with the eradication. It will take work to protect vulnerable species (though gulls are not worth the trouble of saving), but this work will be needed just once. If we succeed in eradicating the mice from any of the Farallon Islands, the native species there will be safe indefinitely from mice; with any luck, the operation will never have to be repeated.

Evgeny Morozov: the idea of protecting privacy by "breaking up" big tech companies is misguided: what matters is not the size of companies that collect personal data, but who controls those systems.

I partly agree, but I would say that what is important is what personal data they collect, and whether it is feasible to stop them from collecting anything about you.

Meanwhile, breaking up the companies would at least reduce their power to block and ignore regulations.
