The modern corporate obsession with data is beyond incorrect, it's obscene.
If I order a pizza, there's no universe where the social contract should include a follow-up email about a survey. IT'S A PIZZA. And moreover, I PAID FOR IT WITH MONEY. You are not entitled to 5 minutes of my time to fill out your fucking survey.
Any marketer, any data scientist, who tell you that every pizza that gets ordered should also generate a survey request email IS FULL OF SHIT and is ABUSING YOUR CUSTOMERS.
"Elon is garbage, and this place is now a white supremacist Nazi haven." So said, correctly, @badastro when he completed his exit from X, where he had 600K followers.
Phil is an amazing science explainer and nonsense debunker. Do consider giving him a follow here :-)
@MaggyWells @skykiss It's not legal. What we do about it is the question.
What do you do when half of your leaders are compromised by a foreign power?
@TruthSandwich @skykiss No wonder they got rid of McCarthy. Talks too much.
Wait … what? 🤔

@danielpunkass It sure wouldn't fly here in West Virginia. Maybe in another couple of generations, but probably not. The folks here are proud of their medieval mindset.

We kept hearing that the "moderates" were finally fed up, were rebelling against the fringe. They stopped #JimJordan , who overplayed his hand.
But *here we are*. With a fringey fringe Speaker, an election-denying Dominionist. Voted in UNANIMOUSLY by the #HouseGOP present.
There are no "moderates." There are the bomb-throwing reactionaries, and the rest who go along "reluctantly" for the ride, because of the personal cost of not doing so. Which is ... kind of how the Nazi party rose to power.
