@Billyjeanbaby @paulspallone @AnoneySnufftan @byebluememory @TheeDCstan iirc some club in Portland had a poster that said "acab includes Batman"
and a lot of leftists that like batman are upset.

@RealOWLOpinions Is Stalker not the consensus for this one?

@Cap1tology @jonunderscor This is a great take

It is impossible to convince me that anyone who posts this isn't just a Jokic fan being funny

@NyanSox Truman a Dva main for sure
Id argue Brig for Reagan

@BrandonDuBois23 Yeah, it really is like the quote "If you're not paying for the product, then you are the product." They're buying info about us, and selling us products back.

@PhilipRayna @SocialDilemma_ Great quote, and definitely true. It's scary how addictive it can be. Hard to find someone nowadays that is not a daily user of some kind.

Probably the most chilling quote from this documentary: “We in the tech industry have created the tools to destabilize and erode the fabric of society… In every country… All at once… Everywhere.” Social movements are accelerating faster than ever before and this is why. (7/?)

I can definitely agree with online communication becoming the norm. In my life, I interact with clients, teachers, fellow club members, classmates, and even friends online more so than in person. (6/?) #eme4390S22

Here's a great article to learn more. https://t.co/aBWpN5nlMz

"We look to understand who a person is, based on where they’ve been and where they’re going" Elina Greenstein may sound like she's talking about a stalker in this quote, but it's really about the phone in your pocket.

I actually tried out being app-transcendent for a day as part of a class I am in. If there's one thing this article is right about, it's that that requires some serious ambition. #eme4390S22

[Troy Pool @TroyBBPPool]

"Are apps becoming a human crutch?" Title says it all. Howard Gardner and Katie Davis make some really interesting points in their article about how app-dependence differs from app-enabling and how you can make sure to limit your dependence. #eme4390S22

Its refreshing to see some positivity in terms of digital media's effect on politics. Crowdfunding and digital engagement are just two examples of things to be hopeful about that this article shows us. #eme4390S22

It was cool seeing how much of this applies to every aspect of our lives from politics to sports, and how blatantly it can make us disregard logic.

[Troy Pool @TroyBBPPool]

This week's TED Talk was almost scary with how much I found it applied to my life. We have to make an active effort to combat partisanship to have an effective democracy. #eme4390S22
