The dude that knows the location of every user of his products, is upset people know his location.

It’s almost like his companies do bad things with that data… talk about telling on yourself.

"Georgia election officials, supported by the Republican Party, tried to prevent 70,050 citizens from voting [on Saturday, Nov. 26]...while Republicans didn’t get away with it, the fact that they tried should be a national outrage."

They had it totally wrong.

Because FB, Twitter and wing-nut billionarires came to own your information age.

Prove them wrong. You're on Mastodon and the Fediverse now. Do it right, and you can make this cover real.

Holy shit this is nuts. Twitter undeleted a ton of my old posts that I deleted when I quit using Twitter. A ton of them. What a piece of shit move.

Elon Musk is whining about how his private jet is being tracked and banning journalists who cover it, claiming they're evading his no doxxing rule.

Musk claims it's about protecting private information.

But this past weekend, he met with fringe epidemiologist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and the Hoover Institution, who tweeted out my phone number to his hundreds of thousands of followers. Musk apparently promised him "access" to Twiter...

What a charlatan.

Hi, I'm Steve. @marmel here and on the hellsite.

I figure it's only a matter of time before either I'm booted or it all falls to crap.

Use this as a list: The people that follow me here - I think - also followed me there.

Tag someone you enjoyed, were inspired by, that made you laugh or think in the comments below.

Let's widen the circle.

Who are you and who do you think I/we should follow?

Comment, boost, toot... whatever you wanna do to say hi.

Time to make this my community.

Found this great #meme on post.news, linked to it on BirdChan as a test (it worked; EM apparently doesn't feel threatened by this new site yet, in contrast to his panic over Mastodon) - and someone fed it into #ChatGPT: https://twitter.com/Tom_Ruen/status/1603626671877365760

Man this academic quarter has been an absolute rollercoaster. I’ve had some big wins, moments of pride and joy from ideas set in motion years ago, great people on this journey together.

And then some days that feel like absolute trash, where I’m sure I can’t continue and want out so badly.

Serving with someone who might be attracted to people of the same sex: enormous threat to unit cohesion, would destroy the military. Serving next to someone who is unnecessarily risking spreading and getting seriously ill from a respiratory virus: no big deal. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/us/politics/defense-bill-vaccine-mandate-senate.html

If this doesn't become a wake up call to every single agency in the country, outage is further warranted.

Update on my #Twitter feed.

I assume Elon is now going to disable ALL location tracking features in the #Twitter app, and permanently delete all location data that Twitter has collected to this point. Right? RIGHT???

For the Black folks who just joined -

Every Friday we have a tradition on Mastodon where we make posts related to Black Joy under the caption #BlackFriday. Please feel free to join in!

@noahshachtman In the past hour, he’s shifted to suspending large-account liberal activists too.
