@freemo That's [Aral Balkan](https://ar.al/). He's a #freesoftware advocate and a fierce critic of #surveillance, and I follow him and often agree with him about those matters. We seem to disagree _a lot_ about politics and economics, though. He's quite opinionated and blunt in his commentary. That said, I have _not_ seen him engage in name-calling, abuse, or any other objectionable actions of that sort. But who knows. 🤷‍♂️

This is just the kind of nuanced and balanced commentary that really helps move discussions forward 😏

Al paso que cambia la noticia, el titular de mañana o de pasado, fijo:

In the 🇺🇸 #US, in 2021, #men represent only ~41% of #college students ([source](https://collegenews.org/women-outnumber-men-in-us-colleges-nearly-60-of-students-in-2020-21-were-women/)). #Women have been the majority of four-year college graduates ever since 1982.

Yet what is the debate and the media reaction (if any)? To denounce that **“men with college degrees have become so cocky that they’re ruining romance for their female counterparts”**.

(When in university, it was less than 20% females at my college, yet somehow at the time I missed all the headlines about those arrogant women playing hard to get…)

Famous #people I admire and I have seen live — or even chatted, shared a meal, or taken a selfie with:

* Antonio Escohotado 🎤×2
* Bryan Caplan 🎤 🗣️ 🖼️ 🍴
* Juan Ramón Rallo 🎤×4
* Miguel de Icaza 🎤
* Pedro Duque 🎤
* Richard Stallman 🎤×3
* Scott Alexander 🗣️
* Tim Berners-Lee 🎤×n 🗣️×n 🖼️
* Vinton Cerf 🎤 🗣️ 🖼️

Plus, I once attended a talk by **Al Gore** and events by **Kevin Rose** and **Boris Johnson**.

Can't come up with a memorable new acronym to replace #GAFA/#GAFAM, because to be meaningful I want it to include a **T** for Twitter, and **A** instead of **G** for Alphabet and **M** instead of **F** for #Meta…

🤬

@trinsec It may be! I'm just saying the plot isn't all that original.
