       @dangillmor When he first became a vampire, I think Dracula called drinking blood an experiment.

       @eff @davidgreene @theintercept Criminalizing dissent. An addiction that holds Trump and Miller in its grasp.

       @vwestlife Couldn't happen to a nicer company. Subaru's seemingly Detroit-minded choices about turning the Outback into a garden variety macho man SUV deserve derision.

       @dangillmor When Donald Trump controls both sides of the transaction, he's not "in talks with the IRS." He's telling the DoJ and IRS what he wants done. Anyone who wants to keep their job does what he wants.Nor is Trump "resolving" his bogus $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS. He and Todd Blanche will be strategizing about how much Trump can steal from the federal govt before anyone looks too closely at the transaction.

       @dangillmor FFS. Take Waymos off the road for systematically refusing to obey traffic laws.How long would a UK pub owner keep his license, if he insisted on selling beer after hours, "because his customers wanted it?"

       @eff The GUARD Act is not about protecting minors or anyone else. It's about populating a massive new database and making billions from it. It's about registering every user of every computer, matching them together, and building a new surveillance-and-control industry.

       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon LOL. That picture of Donald Trump in a library, seriously reading a book that's longer than five pages and has no pictures is a wilder fantasy than Donald Trump in a Superman or Jesus costume.

       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon That Elvis-on-velvet-like caricature of Donald Trump intensely reading in a library is a bigger lie than Donald Trump as Jesus Christ.

       @dangillmor Trump's Reflecting Pool scandal is a good illustration of his willingness to falsely accuse people of a crime to protect his insanely fragile ego.

       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Sociopaths are not hard to find. This Texas father of a dead daughter, who died of preventable measles, should be tried for neglect or child endangerment. In Texas and under Trump, though, he'll be lauded for making a tough choice to defend his family's FREEDOM!

       @dangillmor In Republican circles, a MAGA influencer soliciting money for a charity but keeping most of it himself is called Wednesday.

       @eff @defcon @Tarah Always check to see if there's a genuine Jackson Pollock underneath your dogs playing poker print.

       @stux Automated floor vacuums are designed to map rooms and listen in. Vacuuming up dirt is a byproduct.

       @dangillmor Ditto with spam phone calls that leave a text that says, "Dial 9 if you want these to stop." LOL.I have no clue what dialing 9 would do, but since I voluntarily did it, I'm on the hook for it, at least in the interim. I'll never dial 9 unless I know and have done business with the caller.

       @dangillmor Who knew that gargantuan amount of power for Meta - the ability to dictate de facto access to the Internet - could come about through a single court case?One would think regulators should object.

       @gutenberg_org Novel, early 20th century findings of a 24-yr-old woman graduate astronomy student, Cecilia Payne, turned out to be correct: stars are composed overwhelmingly of hydrogen and helium?Then senior astronomer, Henry Norris Russell, castigated her work as "clearly impossible," once again proving that progress in science often proceeds, "one funeral at a time." That is, it takes the death of a dominant figure to free a discipline from their egotistical grip.

       @dangillmor Republicans' war on the USPS is larger than its chronic attacks on mail-in voting. They hate it as much as they hate Social Security. They hate a govt service that's provided at cost, which connects communities and their govt. It competes with the private sector. They want its real estate at fire sale value. They want to gut its strong labor unions, the pay and benefits they provide, and to stop it from offering strong stable careers, especially for women and people of color.

       @dangillmor Seems like the Kennedy Center's board, including Donald Trump as its head, are well into the realm of criminal contempt, for intentionally destroying a national monument, because of Trump's hurt fee fees.

       @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon Pretty sure Frigidaire Mitch could not now pass the dementia test that Donald Trump claims he passes with flying colors. He's no longer there, which makes him an organic bot.

       @dangillmor AI tech bros panic over AI is not about how it can be abused and endanger the quality of human life or its existence. For starters, the abuse is built into the system by tech bros themselves.It's about regulatory capture and building into the system blanket immunity for what they do
