We generate content for Twitter. They sell it to advertisers. We are their bread & butter.

RW makes Twitter filthy. Still Twitter favours them. They do nothing abt the threats & abuses by RW. Instead they suspend & throttle our side.

We deserve a better place. #Move

I think a lot about how Armistice Day, a day about the end of WW1 that was supposed to make us think about how shitty and pointless war is, became troops rule and war is good day

I've seen "this is a distraction from class struggle" going around, and that's true in some ways, but you know what? They spent years killing their own undesirables to a degree that it *is* a class struggle in the US. And look at those death figures from austerity in the UK.

How many queer people over 50 do you know? How many people who became anti-imperialist after witnessing what it does to other countries? How many PoC who were scooped up by Project 100,000? How does that add up versus pissy old Fox viewers who won't shut up about pronouns?

If they didn't want to hear "OK boomer" then maybe they shouldn't have let all the ones we'd like die of AIDS or on the streets after sending them to Vietnam on a big lie. Just a thought.

Cyronics is the good kind of consumer fraud because it's exclusively hustling rich people who think they deserve to live forever.

You've heard of Long Island iced tea. Now try Three Mile Island iced tea, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.

It's especially funny cuz they'll also say women are in biology/ecology/medicine because they're more emotional or people-oriented, but those fields actually do the opposite of tech; it's all about reducing organisms to a system of parts and quantifying those parts in statistical analysis. Also if you do research on animals there's a big chance your job will be spent killing them. A lot.

Tech bro gender essentialists in Silicon Valley like to defend the gender gap in their industry by claiming men are more "hardwired" for tech work due to lack of human interaction or emotional work, yet almost every problem coming out of that field is related to its negative impacts on people, failure to recognize how their customers interact with their products, etc.
