“The latest revelations mark the beginning of the end for the House of Zuckerberg. The Observer’s investigations into Facebook in 2018 exposed a toxic culture. But still the business thrived.” This may seem like déjà vu, but the outcome looks set to drastically differ from the last slap on the wrist, especially if a new legal suit succeeds in proving Facebook “lied to investors.”

“There’s a sense of déjà vu to the new grief in our community over the collapse of… a 12-story building packed with residents, Surfside’s Champlain Towers South Condo…. Just as the FIU bridge collapse taught us many lessons about ignoring cracks on new construction, and about raising structures while people are driving underneath it, this condo collapse must also come under the most rigorous of investigations.” Today’s horror, “should serve as an urgent alert that older Florida structures need auditing and stricter oversight by the government.”

“It’s déjà vu all over again in the Middle East as another round of Israeli-Palestinian combat follows a tragic and familiar path: another spasm of violence, another media firestorm over civilian casualties, another wave of demonstrations around the world, another diplomatic kerfuffle as would-be mediators jostle, and another donnybrook in American politics over how Washington should respond.”
