SCOOP: China's top 2 gay dating apps, Blued and Finka, became unavailable on app stores over the weekend. Apple confirmed to WIRED that it removed the two apps following "an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China."

@gfharper.bsky.social here is pretty okay.

Keep in mind:

This is terrorism.

Kids deserve the same psychological safety afforded to Silicon Valley software engineers.

The ivory tower recognizes systemic collapse starts with frenetic minds.

acts of violence in a classroom is a calculated military strategy as a war of attrition on education
Getting new details on this now:

As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.
Raids inside day cares had been off limits until this year, when, on his first day in office, President Donald Trump removed that protection.

The arrest reportedly took place in front of children.

Quick question for the iPhones out there:

When WhatsApp is on the island and I’m not using WhatsApp, what additional information are they inferring?

I sent a message with some photos and then was doom scrolling bluesky—

Why was the WhatsApp lingering?

I haven’t seen another app do that yet

The takeaway at the end of the article is:

Maybe a core piece of the problem is that there are gambling markets for how long our government is offline and no amount of finger pointing at normal people will fix that raw sociopathy

Same dude finds Stephen Miller to be the most poignant satirist.

Probably why he had him ghost write an opinion here.

This is pretty much verbatim what Miller said at the Kirk funeral about everyone that claimed Charlie was a victim of an inside job.
it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

No offense if I unfollowed you— I’m curated down to people I’ve met irl or have had significant interactions out of band of here

Let’s link up in person eventually make eye contact and then be friends.

The most irritating thing about me and my business is

1. Getting asked how to turn a profit
2. Being laughed at for proposing anti-war being more profitable than the current battle bro economy

The War on Clowns in essence is that stories change the narrative.

Put down the gun, put on a nose.

Maybe instead of *talking about* Nigerian Christians, we should *listen to* Nigerian Christians?

It's a moral failing to let your fear of terrorism lead you down the road to Islamaphobia, or prevent you from speaking up for Muslim children.

Tim is right.

What we’re looking at:

Africa has their own internet

Nigeria is the easiest path for tech bro Silicon Valley capitalism to attack Africa and steal their data to do to Africa what they did to America after creating China’s surveillance state since Russia self-sabotaged ethically.

Seeing a lot of commentary around bluesky composable moderation

I think we’re looking at an equivalent of likes verses dislikes

When I’m gainfully employed, my phone does not ring unless you’re in my contact list

Maybe, instead of block lists, your bluesky experience should be add lists.

Reading about the tension on bluesky between users and devs is precisely why I’m subjected to the silly torment nexus

We’re all just players in the game. Right now, I’m pretty good at the game, but there will be gamers better than me in the future.

These internet people are people, grab a shovel.

Whoops, sorry— didn’t mean for ambiguity there

What I meant was— terrorism is paramilitary forces being the reason kids can’t play outside.

More than happy to talk face to face

No takers?
Still trying to find a narrative through line where public servants covering their faces to conceal their identities are decent humans.
First they came to kidnap and Chicago said,

“Nah.”

And only truly evil people ever tried to tell a story otherwise.

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.

My favorite thing about what I’ve done

You can’t separate the art from the artist

You either like me and benefit from my work

Or I’m a thorn.

I’m not trying to be popular— I’m just committing continuous acts of science in an anti intellectual age, that also despises culture.

When it comes to the at proto and activity pub debate

There’s flame wars, but if you look closely there’s people that recognize both are insecure for different reasons.

The path forward is to just encrypt your data and only let your friends decrypt it, agnostic of protocol
