Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

"I've told the story of Akromiya for 20 years. I’m telling it again now, because today is No King’s Day, and I am afraid that 'Antifa' is the American Akromiya: a fabricated entity made by state propagandists to persecute anyone who opposes the government."

Inventing Antifa

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

Getting ready to speak at the No Kings rally in DC today, the rally for democracy and freedom, alongside Bill Nye, Bernie Sanders and many other great speakers. Could be the biggest protest in modern American history.

Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

Victoria’s Police Commissioner has made the centre of the city a “designated area” where people can’t wear masks. Say these police. Re hiding identity? So we can’t protect our lungs from pepper spray that they plan to deploy? This is a rotten infringement of our protest rights/health #auspol

As we discussed
the pandemic’s early days
a friend said
he misses when people
were baking sourdough,
and another friend said
she misses when people
could work from home,
and another friend said
they miss when people
were still trying
to take care of each other.

No ever was. ID questions need to be unrelated to actual ID and change regularly - but that takes some actual work and engagement. Why bother when you can get away with doing nothing and the user wears all the consequences?
