Apparently if you are a California resident, you have the right to request Twitter to delete all personal data retained about you and your account.

Those who follow me on The Bad Place have heard me repeat this a thousand times, But once more won't hurt.

Election security is incredibly complex, full of seemingly impossible tradeoffs. But disinformation about supposed "rigged" elections is perhaps the most serious threat to election integrity today,

The best defense is to learn how elections actualy work! Becoming a poll worker is a great way to do that

Also, this National Academies study is a terrific resource:

@georgetakei Thank you, George! Appreciate your signal boost. Grateful for your voice and compassion ❤️✊🏽

Now Musk is saying if Apple and Google block Twitter on their app stores, presumably for failure to moderate hate speech and for safety, he will just create a new phone.

So it’s going well, right?

Now that we're starting to see more impersonation accounts on Mastodon, a reminder that verified websites are a thing. It's not perfect, but implementable at the individual level, and this is how we know for example which of these is the real @stephenfry - and it's not the one with the meaningless checkmark. :)

"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.

Going into the 2022 midterm elections, Ds controlled 36 state legislative chambers; Rs controlled 62. Now, Ds control 40; Rs 56. (3 remain uncalled.)

It's the first time a prez's party has picked up state leg seats in the 1st-term midterms since *1934*. https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results,_2022:_State_legislatures

If you’re going to post about a thing happening in, say, the police, or “the government”, could you make it clear what country you’re on about? Also, content warnings are nice.

It’s #FollowFriday so I hope folks utilize the hashtag to find my account here!
Give me a boost! Maybe if I can show some of the big accounts on Twitter that it’s possible to grow sizably and quickly here, too, they’ll migrate over!

"The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed.

You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.

It took leadership."

I am now receiving reports of child abuse materials (CSAM) surfacing on #Twitter as results from ordinary, nonsexual searches, and that efforts to report such materials to Twitter are either being ignored or receive "does not violate our TOS" responses. Horrific if true.

Elon's take over of Twitter will change the behavior of the digital world. 🔥

Flickr and Tumblr are thinking about intergrating ActivityPub so it will connect to the #Fediverse.

Everywhere you look, people are being laid off, but #Mastodon is growing. 📈

The world finally understands that social media can not only be fun, but also have the privacy of the user in mind. 🤝

We don't need billionaires to create a good world. ❤️
