I went to early voting and my name was not on the lists. Brought ID, completed the forms, voted. But it’s really weird that I was removed from lists (we live 5 minutes’ walk from the voting station, so it’s unlikely our zone would have changed.)

Many of the bots who’ve followed me don’t feel like the usual thirst traps and clickbait. They’re ideologically neutral, with generated avatars, bland bios, and arbitrary post shares.

Just what I’d want to embed now for later use in disinformation campaigns.

It would be easy for a competitor or even an ideologically opposed nation-state to point an automated, GenAI-based water cannon of crap at a platform to slow its growth and undermine its quality.

This feels more like an arms race than opportunistic scammers.

I put “Rizzard of Oz” on my name tag at a game jam event solely to see the reaction on my daughter’s face.

Was not disappointed.
