A newly-formed Tesla union was shadowbanned on Twitter.

Hmmm... Elon Musk is both the CEO of Tesla and Twitter 🤔

What an odd coincidence.

There cannot be a conflict of interest here!

Or can there?

😰Another day, another…

A 3-year-old boy in Florida died after #shooting himself with a gun he found in his parents nightstand.

The gun belonged to the boy's father, who is a #Florida corrections officer. Whether or not the parents face charges is ultimately up to the Florida Attorney's Office.

Seriously hilarious that Fox "news" is accusing Dominion of using "cherry-picked quotes stripped of key context" in its legal filings. Irony just packed its bags and said, "Fuck all of you." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/business/media/fox-dominion-lawsuit.html?unlocked_article_code=lZsNhUUqXsbzr1Pdo4XnKyhnGDPxbnCOoSS6jCz7ygh1RwHUnlq9tUdvRIkYKJ59Sgk-jR8JpVAOaushEqR6cRrMWzM5mB9wlC2FVlL_vPN6FXL7e1jepSE0e1ud2DMpYLAOFIMMfUbafZruwQa0nfWL7nyvnJNB9y7KxKBNbDt1CKza_SV5YqKogHzIHL6BEFcqbtRDcYYQleuona_C5QU6adNTCGAMLat05egh8YybRVEszS_A3eHrv02f4gz4bsmZEFEhSTiBsMAEtcBsjzChnml2EOwtqUVpsBdnaY-tXA3u5PGQr6x1DVujQAgfCTNxGLKvF9aN_suRX7cflid-4ts&smid=url-share

Hoping for a nice sunset tonight as the clouds roll in. This one was from the end January.

So weird how Mastodon just seems to go eerily quiet at night. Almost as if the accounts are owned and operated by individuals who do human things, like sleep

The programmerly urge to put off for days a task that will take 15 minutes, because there should way to be automate it.

I simply cannot. I submitted a ticket about how UCLA Health's IT ticketing system was leaking a list of all users, emails, and who was currently active...

and then in their RESPONSE EMAIL to the ticket they included a link to their internal ticketing system which has a MUCH MORE DETAILED database of all employees, including all changes to their account, all classes, certifications, etc. they have had...

I can't even include a screenshot because there is so much sensitive personal information here. 118,037 rows of it.

A man tells a woman to “cover up” while feeding her child.

So she does.

I like this woman.

people dont realise what food insecurity does to your psyche for the rest of your fucking life like the amount of mental load that comes from non stop inventory and assessment of what you have & like trying to stretch out not eating even when you have enough

The FBI infiltrated a major ransomware group called Hive and obtained its decryption keys.

.... The FBI’s work helped affected parties avoid paying $130 million. Afterward American law enforcement worked with international partners to seize Hive’s servers and take down its website.

In this whole thread, I haven't even talked about how many openly racist police officers there are. I haven't even addressed qualified immunity, civil asset forfeiture, corruption, genocidally violent tactics, racist sentencing laws, or any of that.

I just talked about one way a "non-racist" person who becomes a police officer is incentivized to contribute to violent racism that destroys Black lives at a horrific scale.

@maniajack Start with talkingpointsmemo.com -- and there are a number of good commentators at even the Big Journalism orgs that don't do excellent coverage.

Those who follow the NY Times' relentlessly woeful political reporting are used to case studies in normalizing extremists and false balance. They are surely unsurprised to learn that the author of this "analysis" (read: opinion) is one of the orgs' most reliable normalizers and false balancers. Most of this piece does the latter, with some hedge language proving the writer knows better.
