That’ll happen when your product sucks. We didn’t want slop, bots, and heavy-handed moderation.

You roll in different lanes than I. (And that’s okay.)

A really cool story both in terms of tech and humanity, especially if you’re a history nerd like me.

I understand that ‘Guilt By Association’ is kind of a sticky concept, but it’s been a recurring theme in recent years where these public and mass shootings perpetrated by minors seem to have been directly preventable absent parental negligence or implicit support. For that reason, I’m glad to see the law beginning to recognize the problem and act.

To me, this is no different than an adult giving booze or drugs to minors, just significantly more catastrophic.

I’ll take it. Have a Happy Friday, friend.

All you can really do is not buy their shit, or if you must, buy it second-hand so EA, Nintendo, or whoever don’t profit directly.

You’re not wrong.

Fuckin’ everything is white.

Barf.

Clear your cookies and use a VPN. (And your browser probably has a setting you can enable to clear your cookies automatically every time you close out.)

At least here in the US, the only ‘we’ in this scenario is local, and you should absolutely be involved in your local politics. Nationally we’re effectively powerless, but if we get a few dozen socialists elected, that may change.

And AIPAC spent something like $60,000,000 on Stevens’ campaign.

Love seeing AIPAC fail.

And even more do when one doesn’t use the big, scary ‘S’ word, surely.

YES. GOOD.

I am so sick of these gun nut enabler parents who refuse to manage their personal WMD’s like responsible adults.

Holy crap, I wasn’t prepared to be punched in the face with cuteness.

Yup.

Brave is a better product.

YES.

I wish more people could understand that you can just… not consume something. You not liking it doesn’t make it bad and it doesn’t make other people inferior for enjoying it.

Just scroll on.

Certainly seems that way.

There’s a new bug or eminently shitty feature almost every day, or at least it seems that way.
