Well that's definitely not good.

Of course in 1985 it was well known that gas stoves created pollutants indoors and should be avoided.

Now very clear, the Ford govt is going to move devastatingly fast on #healthcare #privatization.

Even though it wasn't in their election platform & they've hidden their mandates since elected, they now know exactly what they're doing and who they're doing it for.

All the pieces were put in place behind the smoke screen of a pandemic and an inattentive electorate. Which companies stand to benefit, and what their individual relationships are with Ford are moot points at this stage.

@paul I wonder if the selective crippling of some (but not all) third-party apps was not simply about forcing all Twitter users to watch ads, but was actually punitive. In other words, maybe doing it this way with no notice or chance to respond was a deliberate "fuck you" to businesses like Tapbots that were "fraternizing with the enemy" by building clients for competing platforms.

Musk is a petty and vindictive man. It's not like this wouldn't be on-brand for him.

Almost 24 hours later and still no official/unofficial info from inside Twitter. I'm going to continue as if this was all done on purpose.

What now? Ivory goes into hyper mode with just the absolute minimum 3-4 things that have to be done finished up and then off to Apple. Probably going to be a bunch of things I'm not super happy with but I guess we'll fix it in post.

Hopefully everyone knows what we're capable of and can live with some, hopefully not long lived, rough edges/missing features.

13 January 1943 | Three transports of Jews arrived at Auschwitz. Out of 1,210 people from Berlin 127 men were registered. The remaining 1,083 people were sent to gas chambers.

In Science Magazine today, peer-reviewed research showed Exxon scientists predicted global warming with incredible accuracy as early as 1977.

Also #ExxonKnew the ‘carbon budget’ for holding warming below 2°C.

They chose to deliberately spread disinformation and climate denial to continue making massive profits instead of inform the public of the danger.

This should make the lawsuits easier.

Once again, make-shift morgues are being used to store dead bodies across the UK as hospital morgues reach capacity due to a surge in deaths caused by the #COVID #pandemic.

It seems what he has in mind is to expand the current criminalization of anti-war speech. So, I guess it would mean even more police monitoring of social media. (He’s very upset about emigres continuing to earn rental income on homes they still own back in Russia.)

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has proposed confiscating the property of the “lowlife” Russians who emigrated after the Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. He wants to take their stuff as “compensation” for the damage they’ve inflicted on the Motherland. https://t.me/vv_volodin/594

Cervical cancer rates dropped 65% from 2012 to 2019 among women in their early 20s after a generation of young women were vaccinated against human papillomavirus, or HPV, for the first time. Now if the boys would get vaccinated, too, maybe we could start to talk about elimination....
