My timeline is half leftists complaining about Gavin Newsom and half liberals complaining about Graham Platner and I'd like to propose that we launch both of them into the sun together.

Open Letter to Tech Companies: Protect Your Users From Lawless DHS EFF is calling on technology companies like Meta and Google to stand up for their users by resisting DHS lawless administrative subpoenas for user data.

Even giant tech companies are made up of individual employees who mostly want to do the right thing. Resisting lawless ICE subpoenas is an easy place to start. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

They really buried the lede on this, but I love the fact that you can query your Bases in the CLI and output JSON! This is exactly the push I needed to start using Obsidian as a database (albums, articles, etc)

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

i think the biggest issue where i split ethically in a meaningful way with people is that i have long been against intellectual property as a concept. i think IP helps disney, not small artists. a lot of people want to strengthen IP in response to ai stuff and i just don't think that's a good thing

I sincerely hope they have robust security mechanisms in place. This building will likely be a target for violent right-wing terrorism.

2025 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
