He's outraged that it might happen to him.

Have seen this Nature piece about the effects of X's algorithm mentioned again and it bears repeating; exposure to a right wing algorithm makes you - measurably and predictably - more right wing, even after you stop using it.

“But the surveillance” is a completely invalid, stupid objection to buying Chinese cars, when this is what domestic cars are like. Corporate greed killed off one of the key competitive advantages we had around privacy. All that’s left now is an arbitrary tariff structure 🤷

Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

You can be executed in America for merely carrying a gun if you have the wrong politics now and you can bet all those 2nd amendment absolutists will be silent because their so called principles have always been a rationalization for terrorizing the perceived outgroup with impunity.
