A Proud Boy kept his job as a Pentagon intelligence analyst after he joined the Jan 6 mob storming the Capitol, even as he amassed a huge arsenal of weapons and began to think about kidnapping Jewish leaders and others he considered an existential threat. https://theintercept.com/2023/03/13/january-6-military-intelligence-hatchet-speed/

The FBI used an undercover cop with pink hair to spy on activists and manufacture crimes.The pink-haired woman calling herself "Chelsie" began hanging out at Chinook Center, a community space for left-wing activists in Colorado Springs. Chelise hinted that she was a sex worker - but her identity was as fake as her long pink hair. The young woman, whose real name is April Rogers, is a detective at the Colorado Springs Police Department. The FBI enlisted her to infiltrate and spy on racial justice groups during the summer of 2020. https://theintercept.com/2023/03/21/fbi-colorado-springs-surveillance/

When a nazi who claimed to identify as nonbinary shot up Club Q, the right wing disinfosphere obsessed over the shooter's gender identity and ignored the fact that the shooter is a nazi who posted homage to Breivik. They became the "nonbinary mass shooter".When a right-wing extremist who happened to be a furry was apparently inspired by Andy Ngo to carry out a mass shooting of protestors, the right-wing dubbed him the "furry mass shooter".When nazis who happened to listen to heavy metal and dressed differently carried out the Columbine mass shooting, the media dubbed them "the trenchoat mafia" and obsessed over heavy metal, they bever never mentioned their nazi beliefs.

Violent right-wing extremist Andy Ngo has been locked out of Twitter after apparently violating the site's Terms of Service prohibiting violent speech. At least two of Andy Ngo's tweets were ruled to be violations.The lockout comes after a nearly 24-hour relentless barrage of anti-trans propaganda from Ngo, which also saw Ngo's network of fellow propagandists spreading transphobic hoaxes lifted straight from 4chan.Andy Ngo has been suspended or locked out of Twitter multiple times for various violations including hate speech and doxxing.

From the leopards-eating-faces department: In 48 hours, Matt Taibbi went from Elon Musk's hand-picked propagandist to being unfollowed by Musk, completely de-boosted in the Twitter feed, and announcing his departure from Twitter after Musk rendered Substack links completely inaccessible from the bird app.Incredible and yet somehow predictable turn of events here catalogued by @mmasnick, who writes "The refrain to remember with Twitter under Elon Musk: it can always get dumber". https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/10/after-matt-taibbi-leaves-twitter-elon-musk-shadow-bans-all-of-taibbis-tweets-including-the-twitter-files/

“This lawsuit is a political stunt. It’s a desperation play,” Loy said. “And as a practical matter, there’s nothing a court can do. You cannot scrub the internet of everything.”City of Los Angeles sues journalists and activist group over LAPD officer photos released to the public. Great writeup by @micahflee https://theintercept.com/2023/04/11/los-angeles-lawsuit-lapd-headshots/

I've been disgusted by the lack of professional solidarity among journalists ever since Musk bought Twitter. As Musk bans journalists one-by-one, their colleagues stay on Twitter, tweeting out their work, hoping that they'll survive the next round.

Some early observations about Bluesky:• People are having fun. People clearly missed using Twitter to shitpost.• There are no norms yet. Nobody uses content warnings, nor is there a built-in feature for content warnings.• Nobody uses alt text. Nobody gets scolded for not using alt text. Right now, Bluesky seems like a nightmare for blind and low-vision people.• It's eery to see known abusers on Bluesky who I've had blocked for years, without the ability to block them.• It's only a matter of days before violent right-wing accounts like A*dy Ng* show up on Bluesky. They WILL be allowed on, and they WILL build large followings, and the content moderation and privacy tools of Bluesky are not yet up to the task.

@objectinspace @changeling @Natanael_L They should be paying you for your accessibioity testing. @caseynewton @mmasnick It's worth an early analysis of Bluesky from an accessibility perspective, because right now they are making accessibility an afterthought.

@anarchosynthism A lot of people got scolded for shitposting on Mastodon when they first came over from Twitter. That and it's harder to find people on here. Mastodon has a seriousness or earnestness to it, that's for sure.

Twitter shut itself down on the first day of Q3 and we're supposed to believe that this is about anything other than a free cash flow crunch?Anyone check whether Google Cloud finally cut Elon off due to nonpayment?
