Immediately scrolling to the bottom of Terms & Agreements and clicking OK is known as American Acceptionalism

People said they were OK with this, when they agreed to the TOS that told them everything they upload belongs to Faceborg.

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Peter Beinart is absolutely right. One of the biggest reasons the political left is weak in the US is that many of us on the left choose to tear away at each other across lines that divide us, rather than making common cause and turning our critical focus towards those who really deserve that focus, those setting us against each other from the top of the economic ladder.

The lack of solidarity of many on the left in US, and the insistence on purism tests: so politically dumb.

And the original deal was, they stay out of politics, and we don't tax them. They broke the deal, but we're still holding up our end. That needs to stop.

Your regular reminder that if you have a β€œno politics” rule, what you really have is a community that is only welcoming to straight white cis men

@DaveMWilburn It infuriates me just seeing people refer to Russia-Ukraine War as β€œcrisis” or β€œconflict”. It’s hard to view it as anything other than a transparent attempt to downplay the deaths and suffering of tens of thousands.

come on down to the stop n shop in salem tomorrow between 10 and 12, where I’ll be autographing copies of my new self-published book, β€œMusk: Ascent of a Man”

I DON'T NETFLIX AND CHILL, I BETAMAX AND RUN AMOK.

They have to, because both sides. I mean, sure Empty G is a fascist, but Kathy Griffin held up a plastic head, so they're basically the same.

I propose that all major #tech companies stop developing new software features & new hardware for a full year. And then spend that year fixing the shit they’ve already released so it actually works properly.

Aw. So sad to read this happening to one of Putin's cheerleaders.

@rudepundit

That would have been too pedestrian for the mafioso mastermind he imagines himself to be.

If Trump had just delivered a briefcase full of cash to Stormy Daniels, I'm pretty sure the whole thing would have disappeared. Just weird and dumb and cheap that he didn't do it that way.

Pro tip: Soldering a jumper wire to replace a lifted wirebond will not work. Don't attempt this.

Mornin’.

Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so what follows is a quick series of toots to explain what they’re up to. Please #boost as every #queen bumblebee that survives means a new colony that gets to exist and produce new queen bees for next year! 1/8
