I know Twitter is going down the sewer but I am astounded at just how much, in the week I have been on holiday, it has turned into a shit storm of racism, violence and misogyny. It’s sickening. This time I won’t be back.
Privacy is not about hiding things, or keeping secrets, or getting away with things; it's about the ability to be vulnerable without getting exploited or humiliated or killed.
@LostArcNZ Universality is the way forward, ideally a UBI, coupled with wealth or land tax. Income testing doesn’t work because it’s complex, expensive and doesn’t gather important data (i.e. wealth) about who is not actually needy
I guess that answers the question “What’s happening with the Christchurch Call now the entire Twitter team dealing with it has been fired?” Thanks Elon. Thanks a bunch.
In view of the content that is now allowed to stream in this place, we should all leave right now. I'll have one last go at getting my archive (broken 2FA stopping me) then I'm gone. Thanks everyone, it's been real
I’m sad to hear today of the passing of Wilko Johnson, the Dr Feelgood guitarist and singer/songwriter.
I saw Wilko perform at Koko in Camden in May 2013 and the atmosphere was electric. This show was originally billed as his farewell tour
What is meant by "the economy" is the ongoing income streams and wealth accretion of the already wealthy. The majority of us are going to be made to do it hard(er) in order to maintain these things. Sounds reasonable.
