The healthiest thing we can do for the internet is get as many regular users as possible running their own websites. You could buy a domain and such, but a super easy starting point is to get a free subdomain of neocities.org, which is like geocities but existing now.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

There’s this thing I like to call LinkedIn writing where people describe some normal ass daily experience as if they’re telling a grand parable that always has to end with how this experience is actually good for the business grindset mindset

I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just…
In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

It’s even worse than that, because there are multiple dudes from Wisconsin named Benjamin Erickson, and they’re all innocent.
When your “exclusive” lasts all of 7 hours, because you publicly named a guy who was never charged with a crime, and who now is being hounded by trolls, and will have this show up in internet searches for the rest of his life.

Absolute bravery and impeccable self-control after a literal fight for his life to not shoot the newly unarmed attacker with his own gun. To hit the brakes after a "him or me" kind of confrontation like that is a skill I'd wish more law enforcement would learn.
Many of us would, I’m sure, like to think we’d be brave (and smart) enough to do something like this in an absolutely terrifying moment like that. But I can only imagine the mental and physical effects you have to overcome
Intense respect for this man, Ahmed Al Ahmed. An honest to goodness hero.

Independent video (verified by the NYTimes) shows a local Bondi Beach unarmed bystander sneaking up behind one of the gunman today and tackling him to disarm him.

You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵
