The way mainstream news outlets will drool over fascists makes me sick.

January 6 committee found that Twitter and other social media companies gave Republicans preferential treatment on social media out of fear of criticism/reprisal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/17/jan6-committee-report-social-media/

Can't be that hard to go over to r/onejoke and copy/paste the latest iteration of said "one joke."

@anildash Good dude woodworking dude alert: (Doesn't help with the "narrow cultural slice," obviously, but Nick Offerman being really into woodworking has always been kind of neat https://offermanwoodshop.com/

Latest edition of my newsletter is out https://www.readtpa.com/p/flooding-the-zone-with-narrative

Decided to stop tweeting to see if anyone seems to notice that I'm not tweeting, and the answer seems to be... nope.

Things really suck in the world right now and I don't picture them getting any better for as long as any of us are alive. It's just going to keep getting worse and worse for those of us the world decided weren't valid enough to care about.

People really just clinging to the "omg, Andrew Tate was brought down by a pizza box!" narrative even though there isn't a single reputable source that's made the claim. ??♀️

Twitter is now banning links to Mastodon, Post, Facebook, Instagram, and banning other linktree type links https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy

This is just sad and pathetic, tbh, lol

I combined photos of Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, and Mark Zuckerberg in FaceApp. The result: John Mastodon, CEO of Mastodon

I've always found Elon Musk to be annoying, obnoxious, and awful; now I'm pretty sure he's just straight-up evil (not that there are a whole bunch of non-evil billionaires out there).

What he's doing over on Twitter right now targeting Yoel Roth is just disgusting. Just QAnon/Pizzagate/Satanic Panic shit, and he knows it. I worry this won't end well.

Spent about an hour today talking with @adamdavidson, the creator one one of the mods over at journa.host.

It was a very good, very productive conversation that I'm very glad to have had. I want to clarify a few things related to the drama over there:

1. Obviously, admins of different instances can make their own calls, but I'm suggesting that people take a beat before blocking all of journa.host. I believe the people over there are coming from a good place, 1/4

mean well, and are doing the best they can. I urge people to give them a bit of time, to judge them on their actions moving forward rather than actions of the past.

2. I did break the rules in how I lashed out at both Mike Pesca and at the journa.host mods (especially Evan Urquhart, who is a kind and talented man). Name-calling and swearing was out of bounds on my part, and I want to make it perfectly clear that I understand and acknowledge why they suspended me. 2/4

I'm struggling.
