Dunking on Feinstein for flying a confederate flag 50 years ago is silly when you can dunk on literally everything she did for the last 20 years. You don't have to dig deep, she was awful.

The truth about US immigration law is that the US economy relies on immigration, and making migrants legally powerless benefits employers, so nothing is done to crack down on employers and everything is done to leave migrants even more scared and powerless. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/01/magazine/economy-illegal-immigration.html

Warning: if you are operating a 30 year old cellphone it has greater value as an antique.

Entering 2024 with ".eth" attached to your name is a sign that you simply haven't been paying attention to recent events.

I wonder if a century or two from now people will look at our civilization and microplastics the way we look at Rome and lead pipes.

I don't know why I have to tell people "don't use the browser which is also a crypto scam and run by a famous homophobe" but apparently I do. Don't use Brave. https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/111447997418108806

My husband is watching a movie called "It's A Wonderful Knife" which is like "It's A Wonderful Life" except there's a serial killer.

Your periodic reminder that chiropractors are not doctors and the founder of chiropractic said he learned it from the ghost of a doctor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic

Always remember that any corporation telling you moderation is hard is lying. It's not hard, it's totally manageable, it's just really really expensive to do it the right way. Every corporation that says "we value free speech" means "we do not want to spend money on this". https://www.platformer.news/p/why-substack-is-at-a-crossroads

Every corporation -- every single one -- that hosts content of any kind has technology and people in place to take down child sexual abuse material. EVERY platform has a way to get rid of that stuff. When they say moderation is hard what they mean is "that's the only thing we're willing to bother with".

You do not need to engage in long philosophical arguments about whose job it is to moderate speech because 100% of platforms are already doing it, without exception. They know it's their job. They just want to be cheap about it.

I made my first donation to the Biden campaign today because the options are depressing but one is clearly worse than the other and that's how it goes.
