The solution to climate change is to dismantle what causes it, and that’s the exploitation of developing countries by wealthier ones; and the exploitation of our resources to make line go up
Once Ms Thunberg moved on from “climate change is bad and we should do something” to “climate change is bad and THIS is what we should be doing”, suddenly the media isn’t a big fan of activism

Ya know, I think it’s interesting that as soon as Greta Thunberg started espousing anti-capitalist and anti-colonial sentiment, the media coverage of her deeds dropped sharply.

soundmoji was my intern project, and the feature is now out to 20% of users! thanks to the team for picking it up and continuing development after summer. I’m excited for users to get to try them and I hope you have fun with them!

In the haze between wake and sleep I dreamt of a Disco Elysium style Touhou game. It would require some amazing writing but I think there's good potential in there.

While recording/photographing law enforcement is protected by the 1st Amendment, there have been cases where folks were brought to court for doing it. Some states also have their own confusing laws to discourage people from recording.

Try practicing mnemonic devices for situations where it's not safe to pull out your phone. The SALUTE acronym is an example.
It's a good skill to practice regardless, as witness statements are notoriously unreliable. Humans are wired to "zoom in" on immediate threats (such as a weapon), so details are missed when recalling the incident later. You have to train your brain to take in the information you want instead of forming a purely emotional memory.

A friend informed me that alerts about ICE and other dangerous groups should use the SALUTE system to prevent bad actors from spreading unnecessary fear.

I am serious, this would be an interesting research project. Ping all the accounts you suspect of being ChatGPT-powered, and see if they respond.

I was at a protest once, marching through the street. These two white dudes with short hair and combat boots (not doing a great job to match the vibes) kept trying to direct the crowd down a path.
I started saying we should change direction, pointed at these dudes and said, they want us to keep going straight and I don't trust them. I don't care which direction we go, I just don't think their direction is a good one.
They were cops. They left the group right after some other people decided to turn. And we saw them talking to some cops when we got back to the park where we sorta were based.
