@godpod I think I heard a pastor say you sent Musk to destroy Twitter and himself to save us from the horrors of furry porn and bad political takes.
Yeah, with that logic I think the Holy Spirit influencing that pastor was Maker's Mark mixed with paint thinner.
Elon Musk is Still Silencing the Journalists he Banned from Twitter.
It looks like our accounts have been reinstated, but it's an illusion: We're actually locked out and can't post anything without deleting specific tweets the billionaire doesn't like.

try to become the computer scientist and optimize my code.
My interview with @blaine, who was there at the very beginning of Twitter; now he's focused on building #fediverse infrastructure that will help #Mastodon scale. https://thenewstack.io/why-a-twitter-founding-engineer-is-now-all-in-on-mastodon/

I personally don't like Tiktok, but mostly in the same sense that I don't like rockabilly music or well-done steaks: I just find it tacky. It's very sketchy in terms of data collection, but so is every other for-profit social media site or app of note.

I wonder if there's a chance this could raise constitutional issues.

Within the next 24 hours Russian losses in #Ukraine will cross the 100,000 mark.
An absolutely insane waste of human life.
Henrietta Lacks was a poor, Black, young mother diagnosed w cervical cancer in 1951. When her cells were collected w/o consent, scientists saw they multiplied remarkably fast.
“HeLa” cells changed #science. They’re used globally to study viruses, drugs, hormones, genes, diseases & develop vaccines. Lacks passed away at 31 w no recognition.
Rebecca Skloot’s beautiful book about her life & legacy is changing that. Now her statue will replace Robert E. Lee in NC. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/20/us/henrietta-lacks-statue-roanoke-virginia.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare #history
