Sarah Martin, "Chief executive of collapsed crypto fund HyperVerse does not appear to exist" (Jan. 3, 2024)
"In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."
What the hell?? This is so creepy.

@OddDev Elon Musk bought Twitter with the help of multiple investors ranging from authoritarian countries (Saudi Arabia, China) and hedge funds.
Twitter, despite its many faults, had become a powerful too for people to organize and fight back against many forms of oppression (Look up the 'Arab Spring' and many other protests)
Most billionaires like Musk, and authoritarian countries like Saudi Arabia and China, do not like when regular people gain power.
They bought Twitter to destroy it.

⚠️🇺🇦Children from a football camp during the massive air attack today. They had to sleep in the hallway, following the safety rule of using two walls, which is crucial during air attacks. It's saddening that children have to go through such experiences, and it's certain that no child should have this kind of childhood.

GreenDay took the stage during ABC’s broadcast of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest and used the opportunity to call out Trump supporters by changing the lyrics to their 2004 hit “American Idiot" to "I'm not a MAGA idiot".

Social interaction that went surprisingly smoothly for me at job coaching today:
It was crowded today and most of the computers in the labs were occupied.
I couldn't concentrate, but was hoping to concentrate, so I was seated at and logged into a computer, but wasn't really using it. Glued to my phone.
A guy who looked like he was Japanese and nerdy came and asked me, politely, in English, if he could use my workstation, since I wasn't using it?
My reaction was to log out immediately and let him use it. I was only pretending to work on my task. Why take up a computer that I wasn't really using?
Younger me might've defended being there, making all sorts of excuses, but I just let him take it, because I knew I was fooling myself.

Jeffery Epstein allies had Attorney General fired for doing her job
Props to Denise George for going after Jeffery Epstein when she noticed his criminal behavior early on.
It is astounding that even after Epstein died, his defenders tried to silence the cases against his estate.
👉🏾 Attorney general going after Jeffrey Epstein’s estate says she was fired for her dogged pursuit: ‘My bar license, my integrity were more important to me’ https://fortune.com/2023/11/17/jeffrey-epstein-us-virgin-islands-jpmorgan-attorney-general-investigation-fired/
I'm really keen to follow birders, ecologists, nature people living and working around the North Sea - Denmark, Germany, Nederlands, Belgium, France, any language! Organisations too, if they are seabird-related.
Please do suggest if you can recommend anyone!
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
