@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.

They have a point, they do fit the requirements well.
So of course they don’t want the job.

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.

@enbrown Geez.
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.

As @mmasnick pointed out, if the CCP wanted American citizen's data, there's a ton of other places they could get it besides TikTok. It's all performative nonsense.

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

Little FYI, I will NOT sell mstdn.social, masto.ai or mastodon.coffee NO MATTER WHAT.

I don't give a sh*t about money. Paying the bills is okay but that's it.

This place is much more important and no money in the world can buy that away from me

A promise I made over and over and again this time ❤️

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. nytimes.com/2022/12/20/us/henr #history
