This is too funny 😆

Before Twitter was acquired by Elon Musk, they were suing Elon Musk for reneging on the acquisition agreement.

For their efforts, they hired experts to help them along.

But now that Elon Musk has acquired Twitter, Twitter isn't paying them 🙃

What does Twitter allegedly owe them? $2.19 million.

So now they're suing Twitter 🤣

This is genius Albert Einstein who refused to speak at white colleges and at the end of his life spoke exclusively at black universities.

He said: "The separation of races is not a disease of colored people but a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it."

Have you always wanted to work at an organization that puts people and freedom at its center? The FSF is seeking a full-time deputy director: u.fsf.org/3vp

When it comes to social media, people are less enthused about 3D graphics and buying virtual properties.

They're more enthused about network persistence, personalizing their space, and interacting on *their* terms.

As a security researcher, I can assure you that idiots have been writing malware for quite some time.

Most Internet users are totally oblivious to the fact that a case before the U.S. Supreme Court right now, other cases to come, and an array of politically-inspired regulatory efforts, stand a good chance of decimating UGC (User Generated Content) on the Web. This will be true even if the current Supreme Court case doesn't end badly.

Politicians and governments around the world, including in the U.S., are rushing to turn the Internet into a politically controlled, uber-censored version of China's Internet, complete with forcing everyone to be fully identified with government ID for access to most sites (using "protecting children" as the talking point).

It's coming boys and girls, and what's even scarier is Big Tech like Google seems to not fully understand what's at risk and how best to push back. Timid approaches won't suffice -- this is a war, with government pushing to turn the Internet into a tool for total control of their populations.

It is estimated that nearly 55,000 more Ohioans will have health insurance because of President Biden's #InflationReductionAct.

This will improve health outcomes, access to healthcare, and financial security for the people in #OH11.

Portland Public Schools says unequal student discipline is call to action

koin.com/news/education/portla

"PPS data show Black students are disciplined at more than thrice the rate of white students. Native students are given referrals, suspension or expulsion two and a half times more often. Students with disabilities, including those who may have high levels of emotional dysregulation, face twice the number of disciplinary actions as their non-disabled peers."

#OmniumGatherum #culture

"What’s most troubling about our data is that we know from research that there are strong links between school discipline, likelihood of dropping out and eventual arrest and possible incarceration … I believe these data are an urgent call for change in action and we are working hard to make a difference."

My friend is at an American football game with his German exchange student pals, who are Bavarian. The opposite team is called CSU, meaning the crowd chants "FUCK CSU! FUCK CSU! FUCK CSU!" all the time. To the Germans, this was a dream - the CSU is Bavaria's Christian right-wing party. So they gleefully joined in with the chanting, and sent videos of it back home with the caption "even the Americans hate CSU". Heartwarming moment.

Some friends and I were discussing why we do free software even though it often means doing tons of work for little or no money.

I think for me some major factors are the personal agency you have over the work (independent from employers/investors) and the potential for longevity that comes with having your work be part of the commons (projects can't be acquired and killed).

That kind of unalienated relationship to your creative output is very rare outside of maybe fine arts or entertainment.

Internet prick, borderline noncery

This idiot needs to be stopped, he has a huge influence on teen boys, so they will see his behaviour and copy, if he gets away with it, they will know they can copy and get away with it too.

What I would like to know is what the hell are these platform moderators doing tp allow him to fester for so long with this, oh yea nothing as he generates huge profits.

When the bosses say there's a "labor shortage," it is a lie.

The truth, as @RBReich@twitter.com outlines, is this: We face a shortage of good, permanent jobs where workers are fully valued for their work with strong union protections, and safe and healthy workplaces!
