Just a PSA, if you are a neck-veiny conservative white man just absolutely raring to do right-wing terrorism right now because you made a blithering cretinous fuckwit your messiah because of how poignantly his racism spoke to you and he turned out to be a pretty incompetent criminal and not enough of a dictator to get away with it, please be sure to yell about it on your standard Dogpatch Fascist Yayhoo social medium that I am sure is in no way being monitored by the feds because of how much smarter you are than them. #TrumpIndictment #RedneckTet

As #indictments loom against #DonaldTrump for willful violations of the Espionage Act and attempting to overthrow the republic, let's try to remember that, for millions of Americans, he provided a loud, if unnuanced, voice articulating their heartfelt concerns that they felt had long gone unheard, and those concerns were "why doesn't everyone think exactly like me?" and "not enough people hate the people I feel need to be hated" and "miscegenation of the races is leading to a loss of proper American identity" and "being a stupid, venal piece of shit who has never bothered to feel empathy or learn anything about the country or government one seeks to rule with an iron fist is virtuous" and those people being sad is good because they are awful fucking people who wittingly did and continue to do their utmost to make the country a vastly shittier, meaner place.

When people complain that ubiquitous smartphone and earphone use in public places is isolating us from each other, what I hear is, “HEY! YOU, STRANGER WHO DOESN’T KNOW ME! I’M MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!” My time and attention doesn’t become part of the commons just because I happen to be passing through the commons. (Bringing this up apropos of nothing, including of any major product announcements that may or may not have been made this week.)

More predictions from the guy who said Elon Musk would save Twitter RT @jack@twitter.com There are only three truly censorship resistant technologies at scale today: tor, bitcoin, and nostr. All are currently niche…showing most of the world doesn’t actually care about censorship. Granted, these technologies aren’t yet accessible or easy to use. But…they will be! 🐦🔗: /jack/status/1666076985242836993
