I think WP Engine has a meritful claim of extortion, with Matt giving them a two-day ultimatum out of the blue that demanded them agree to hand over 8% of revenue. I also think Matt is wrong about the trademark thing and that WP Engine’s use should fall under nominative fair use. However, I agree that “underdog” is quite the mischaracterization; despite WordPress.com’s extreme and widespread usage, they’re probably close to 2nd-most used.

All this suggests that Mangione may prove to be a figure out of a Dostoyevsky novel — Raskolnikov with a silver spoon. It’s a familiar type. Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, better known as Carlos the Jackal, was a lawyer’s son whose mother moved him to London before he went on to become an international terrorist. Osama bin Laden came from immense wealth. Angry rich kids jacked up on radical, nihilistic philosophies can cause a lot of harm, not least to the working-class folks whose interests they pretend to champion.

Congratulations, you just identified pretty much the only subclass of people who have led successful working-class revolutions.

That’s capital for ya.

The article mentions it… TL;DR: War on Drugs

Hospital drug testing of pregnant women, which began in the 1980s and spread rapidly during the opioid epidemic, was intended in part to help identify babies who might experience withdrawal symptoms and need extra medical care. Federal law requires hospitals to alert child welfare agencies anytime such babies are born. But a previous investigation by The Marshall Project and Reveal found that the relatively inexpensive, pee-in-a-cup tests favored by many hospitals are highly susceptible to false positives, errors and misinterpretation — and many hospitals have failed to put in place safeguards that would protect patients from being reported over faulty test results.

A 2022 study by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital found that 91% of women given fentanyl in their epidurals tested positive for it afterward.

wait but what about the 9%?
