Get me to God's country

Excellent work by new NYT headline writer Werner Herzog

stop right there, don't need to know more, already looking forward to it 🙏

The fact that he has respond to this BS. 🤡

Reading what Jeffrey Goldberg was quoted as saying in response to #SignalGate made me laugh-cry: “This isn’t The Matrix. Phone numbers don’t just get sucked into other phones. I don’t know what he’s talking about there…" 🫠 I don't know about The Matrix, maybe more like Black Mirror/Twilight Zone.

When we laugh about Tesla’s stock price crashing, that’s evil. But when Elon Musk guts the US government, opposes his workers’ attempts to unionize, sexually harasses his employees, backs neo-Nazi parties, and says his trans daughter is dead, that’s just normal cool guy stuff.

People are angry, and 100% justifiably so

🪧 You are more than your #data and you *should* delete data whenever it is stuck in limbo and you have no idea what's going to happen to it. 🥸 If and when your data is up for sale, hit that delete button, so it doesn't go to the wrong/evil hands.

Terrible and terrifying news. 😔 If you haven't watched No Other Land yet, you should.

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

Anyone working on a new #opendata #opengov project we should know about? Join our Implementation Working Group meeting next week and share with us your findings/work! 🥰

My politics is the abolition of the economic system that created these two broken men

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Less talking, more walking.

Elon Musk's anti-remote work crusade is so funny to me this is the guy with the vision for the future? he wants to go to Mars, why? so you can sit in an office cubicle from 9 to 5 but you're doing it on the Red Planet? lol

Everything is exciting again. Counting down the days with some songs. We begin with The Sundays because the reason why it's my #1 from last year is my band covered it and I tried my best to memorise the lyrics open.spotify.com/track/5gSHlT...

Paused my fictional reading streak to read @naomiaklein.bsky.social's Doppelganger. ✨ But this is freaky stuff. I was just saying that The Velvet Underground and Nico's "I'll Be Your Mirror" was a fav song. 👻 It's haunting now as I read your book and learn about these mirror worlds. #BlackMirror

Down to the final four. Don’t forget to cast your vote!

as Bluesky grows, bad actors take notice Beware the fake accounts new from me in @mashableofficial.bsky.social mashable.com/article/blue...

escaping twitter (rip), but haven't quite deleted my page yet for work reasons. 🫠 here's an older piece of writing for fellows here looking to getting to know me and my mind. the newer entries on my blog are private. hell yes, i am writing again. www.catc0r.com/a-total-ecli...

Bluesky is making social media fun again, so it’s no wonder it seems to have momentum as a new wave of people flee Twitter. I’m not getting my hopes up it will solve social media’s ills, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts — and hope it lasts a long time.

silence is the master of the discussion

Putting on a movie from before the early 2000s you imagine you’ll be entering some simpler long-lost world untouched by smart phones and social media and all that but instead you find you’re in a suffocating dystopia where everyone is chain smoking, indoors, constantly
