       A graphic I knocked up for the comment section over on Ars Technica, but I'm starting to think this film needs to be made.

       @stux America's 2A stopped serving a useful function 50-100 years ago, and now does *vastly* more harm than good. Time to put it to bed.When the leading cause of death in children is firearms, there's a problem.

       This weekend - sometime tomorrow, probably, once I have my archive - I will be deleting my Twitter account. I effectively shuttered it back in April when Musk removed protection for trans people, but I kept the account active because (a) there are still a few people there who I like and who aren't on either Mastodon or Bluesky, and (b) the best view of a trainwreck is from inside the train.

       But Twitter's new ToS say basically that any content you post there becomes Twitter's. They own it, you don't. They can sell it to others, who can in turn sell it to others.Oh, and they want to start collecting your biometric data.Fuck that.I won't lie: I'm a bit sad to lose that account. I've *liked* Twitter (pre-Musk). I've been there since April 2008. That's 15 years. 15 years of me being me, for better or worse. 15 years of conversations, chats, shitposting, etc.

       And it'll be gone because a right-wing, white-supremacist billionaire is a shitty, shitty person.

       @grammargirl feels a bit like a type of ‘Rubber Ducking’.

       @grammargirl very old programming technique when you need to understand a problem - explain it to someone. If there’s no one present, a pet, pot plant or rubber duck will do nicely 🙂My cocker spaniels seem unimpressed, and are rarely directly helpful 😂👍

       @grammargirl I suspect - as a dog owner - that cats are far better for this than dogs. Cats have the right “I’m waiting to be impressed” attitude 🙂

       @grammargirl by the way - my apologies if my comment came over a little mansplain-y. Wasn’t my intent, but re-reading it I thought “Ummm.”
