important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

[9] There is a balletic form to his surrealism that suggests a subconscious deeply involved with unravelling his psychic vision. The Wall (1948), The Dancer (1948), The Angel with the Fish (1948) & the Captive (1948)

🧵 Edgar Ende (1901-65) was a German Surrealist who is barely known outside that country, but unlike many of the surrealists actually painted from his subconscious - rather than carefully creating fabricated imaginings. Thus his work has authenticity & is mesmerising [1]

Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in urgent need of help right now--she lost her father recently, suffered damages to her home from the recent rains, & her mother's now in hospital. They have no insurance. She's a freelancer, & really needs help. Please share & donate.

Help Archita and Her Mom Rebuild Their Lives After Unforeseen Medical Expenses.

I'm a writer and editor, based out of Kolkata (India). Barely two months ago, my father passed away from cancer. My mother is presently very ill and hospitalized. The recent flooding and heavy rainfall also damaged a portion of our house. We don't have any insurance. I freelance full-time but sadly it doesn't pay enough, and I urgently need money for our healthcare, home repairs and to stay alive. Please circulate and donate if you can. No amount is too small. Thank you. UPI: archita.666-1@oksbi

Of all the things that could smash a car’s windshield in Saskatchewan, a fish that fell from the sky is pretty low on the list of likely suspects. But that’s what happened to Marie Ahlstrom when she w...

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

Wrote about All About Eve for its 75th anniversary this week!

It's been 75 years since All About Eve and its feminism is still sadly extraordinary

The only film to ever earn four female acting Oscar noms, All About Eve remains an insightful look at how pop culture treats its women.

Old enough to remember when kids being anti-semitic was the basis for a federal government assault on higher education

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.
