“But listen to me when I tell you that even if you add up all the worst things the Emerald Emperor has done and facilitated, it does not come close to what Mark Zuckerberg has already done, happily, without remorse, with full awareness of the consequences, after being repeatedly told to stop, to almost every single person with even the most basic access to the internet.” https://catvalente.substack.com/p/mark-fking-zuckerberg-is-not-your

No.

A whistleblower is someone within an organization who raised concerns and was ignored—then went public

Luft is an accuser working for GOP domestic terrorists

Oh…

And he was indicted months before he began accusing. Seems kinda big for these news outlets to omit

Language matters.

In which, after a momentary mutual acknowledgement, a #coyote and I agree to go our separate ways.

Russians built a replacement for the drowned cruiser "Moskva"

In Kerch, a ceremony was held to accept the Cyclone small missile ship into the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation. It became the first warship built at the Kerch Shipyard in 25 years.

RosSMI claims that the Cyclone is equipped with the latest air defense systems and is armed with a launcher for 8 Kalibr cruise missiles.

Looks like Harpoon or Neptune have a job.

For some reason people who say “Fight me!” never expect that first punch.

So first there was a “whistleblower” who’d bring down Biden, then they said the whistleblower had tapes, then they said the whistleblower was missing, then they said the whistleblower was dead, and now it turns out the whistleblower was a Chinese spy who’s evading arrest? Got it.

If you're not aware of the Black Game Developer Fund (I wasn't!), hey, now you are. This is rad! https://blackgamedevfund.com/apply/

Yo #GameDev folks, maybe spread this one out a bit? I know very little about the fund itself / I can't vouch for it or anything, but more options to choose from is better than less when it comes to funding.

It's not often I get personal on my Substack but I felt compelled to share with you the story of my condition.

Throughout my childhood, I endured relentless mockery due to this condition, which ultimately played a transformative role in shaping my identity today.

Wow.

Via Kyle Cheney:

! #DOJ is appealing the sentences imposed by Judge Mehta against the #OathKeepers convicted of seditious conspiracy or obstruction, including the 18-year term for Stewart Rhodes.

All of the sentences, even Rhodes’, were well below what the sentencing guidelines called for.

Appeals have so far been noticed for:

-Stewart Rhodes
-Jessica Watkins
-Roberto Minuta
-Kenneth Harrelson
-Kelly Meggs
-Joseph Hackett #legal

More likely to hit the docket

Is anyone surprised?
