@markrvickers you’re not overthinking. but if the internet has eroded privacy for just about everyone, why should a rich fuck be exempt? I get that celebrities pay a terrible privacy price for the fame they acquire but it doesn’t help society to exempt them from that price.
as for #elonmusk in particular, he’s about to release location data of twitter users to advertisers unless they pay for blue. @elonjet is way less intrusive than that

@Blank how did it go?
per your control comment, maybe it’s something you want to change, but I bet it’s often served you well too. maybe even makes it easier to roll with the punches when you need to

@dyutichakravarty congratulations doctor!

@JamesWaterhouse yes! more insight & conversation, less blast. got an intimate dinner party vibe going rather than #twitter rager (fun in a different way!) with cops about to shut down
#TwitterMigration

mixed feelings for #twitterdown. pretty sad it could actually be the end of an era #riptwitter

I think this is probably the first time #elonmusk has come up against the power of workers over a company. in every other case he has been able to assert his will to keep them in line. but here he has a different workforce, the kind you hire management consultants to create. empowered and fiercely passionate. and his power play 5pm email spectacularly backfired.

@Felipe_B ugh

@Myphatself seriously! you just reminded me that the game monopoly was made to show that it always ends up as a monopoly in real life!

anything we want (skiing, music, books) or need (healthcare) ends up with someone in the middle making money and eventually controlling the price

@mehdihasan great segment.

checks and balances aren’t working. we have radically unbalanced representation because the checks, the #courts and particularly #scotus, have started making irrational decisions.

from what I remember, the only reason #gerrymandering had not been curbed by #scotus was because there was not a mathematical way to determine bad #redistricting. now there’s no plausible deniability that they’re even trying to be fair

this fiasco with #taylorswift and #ticketmaster after the #zlibrary takedown brings up this enraging question: why does the average #artist make so little money?

society clearly values artistic output. writers, musicians, comics, etc create content that is voraciously consumed. why does the staggering amount of money spent on things like books and music (a damn fortune by me!) end up in the hands of middlemen?

publishers and #ticketmaster and #livenation making bank gaming the market sucks

GodDAMN that was awesome!!!! this makes my chest tight. so proud of what humanity can accomplish @Colarusso

#NASA #Artemis #moon #space

huh. pleasantly surprised it was apparently boring

so I’m making a personal vow not to look at my phone for the rest of this day because I have a rage problem and #trump announcement will rage me up and I’m told not to be ragey before going to sleep. better I rage in the morning when it’s my work that will be affected instead #politics #elections #election2024

@Pwnallthethings well this is actually quite comforting. appreciate there’s a step in #NATO that’s ‘let’s talk about shit’ that’s between ‘ignore’ and ‘war’. regardless, it must be scary AF in #Poland right now

@lawprofblawg hey! I love both my Christmas movies equally! how dare you try and make me choose

#democrats hold the senate! Perfect start to a lazy #sunday and worth all the stress of the last week.

#Midterms2022 #election2022 #politics #bluewave2022

@molly ouch. been there!

@molly same. time for water so I can keep drinking 🥂

Hell yeah! Growth mindset the way to be @brianokken

Hey folks. I’m a nerd and bird refugee who hopes for a better world one day soon. Was just looking for a place to park but this place was an awesome surprise! Love the vibe here #followbackfriday #followfriday
