Last Monday (July 31st) we were nearly surrounded by ice, which closed in the ship on all sides, scarcely leaving her the sea-room in which she floated.

And yeah, @Sarahp has a point. The Fediverse already has lots of high profile folks using the service.

It's at the point where, if you're in the tech industry, the Fediverse is the place to be.

Fuck off Elmo!

The reason TikTok is such a threat is because it's not a Chinese platform, it's a global platform controlled by China. Theoretically at any point China could use it to drag foreign users into their sphere of influence. Twitter was a threat for the exact same reason. The difference being it's not a theoretical future problem. Its owner is already actively spreading Russian propaganda, amplifying fascists talking points, and openly admitted to manipulating the algorithm for his own personal gain. You currently have hundreds of millions of international users under the influence of a far-right pro-Russian Autocrat. If I was in charge of banning social media platforms for national security reasons I'd be watching TikTok very very closely, but I'd be holding a Defcon1 five alarm 5 meeting about banning Twitter right now.

Either they haven't thought about what they've written, or they're trying to create chaos...

@Bridgemakes My follows here are mostly a mix of #infosec people and #startrek people. It deepens my embarrassment a little every time I post one of these to think what my infosec peeps must be thinking trying to decipher these in their timelines...

The CIA watching me masturbate is the closest thing I have to a relationship.

MAGA wants SCOTUS to block $10K student loan forgiveness for low income people b/c its "unfair."

Okay, let's play that game and see where it takes us.

Black people paid taxes for pools schools & libraries they couldn’t use during Jim Crow (1865-1965)—$0 reparations

Native people had 270M acres of their land stolen via Homestead Act (1862-1987)—$0 reparations

"But that's ancient history!"—MAGA

It’s really not, but there are plenty of other examples MAGA pretends to not notice.

I sent this chart to a dear friend yesterday because I think it's important for people to understand the risks they're taking even though the message we all get is that COVID is over.

Big picture: with every infection, the risk of every complication goes up.

You have not "gotten it over with" after your first infection.

I'm tired of it. You're tired of it. But #CovidIsNotOver.

#Mastodon is a nice social network. I have less than half the followers I had on the 🐦. I also follow less people. I have 10x the interaction. I actually chat with people. I always sign off happy. What a change.
