Social Media being social media, and humans being humans, Bluesky is better than X, but not better than not being on social media. Goodnight and good luck.

MFW I am wondering why one person is dominating my skyline and how I ended up in their profile instead. I'm so not stalking you. 😩

I don’t normally get worked up about the naming threat actors thing. But the Volt & Salt Typhoon is a disaster as it’s so hard for non-specialists to tell them apart: - Salt is Snowden style espionage by China against US - Volt is a direct 🇨🇳 military threat to degrade western infrastructure 1/2

Reading the comments, it's clear people are missing the point. No one cheers the deaths after mass shootings. Social media has been flooded with posts lauding Mangione as a hero. There are calls for killing all the oligarchs. We are a seriously fucked up society. Don't shoot the messenger.

The blessing and curse of reading the news in other countries is the reality of how alike we all actually are and that there's really nowhere to go to escape whatever you're running from.

I hope he does it. And I wish we would stop killing people. It's not an effective crime deterrent, costs more than lifetime incarceration, and too often is unjustly applied. It's barbaric.

Super happy to announce that the State Democracy Index 2.0, covering 2000-2023, is done and about to be publicly posted (probably tomorrow). Hope fellow nerds find it useful.

I've lived in a 100yo house for 10 years. At what point to do you think I should remember that I can't use the microwave and the toaster oven at the same time? Dammit. 🙄
