I just finished Extremely Online by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social Really good take on social media history. Fascinating the dichotomy between the understanding and experience of platforms when viewed from the perspective of its most popular users vs what it’s like from the people building it.

Get yourself some gas masks and learn how to deal with pepper spray. When you get home. Strip, use liquid dishwashing detergent. Wash it all off. Throw the clothes in the washer. Rinse and repeat tomorrow.

I’m mean fuck Musk but billionaires and people controlling major social media platforms have a lot of power. If you like everyone you’re working with it’s a team not a coalition.

The B416 campaign is so great at social media they don't realize they didn't register the right domain name! We got B416.nz but they link to our site form their instagram account.

This poll is exactly the same as the last poll, any variation is within the margin of error. Anyone saying otherwise is simply spinning a story which isn’t reflected in the data.

We need to have fundamental rights on social media. It’s about so much more than just privacy or your data. I sat down with @pennydaflos.bsky.social at WebSummit to talk about the need for a social media bill of rights. youtu.be/nzlc3bnaoJI?...

This RNZ headline is wrong... they're fast tracking BECAUSE OF THE DONATIONS. In other words, they took the bribes and the bribes are working. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Whoohoo, NZ government announces plans to put $100M in to their state run VC fund in 3 years.... that's a microfund... $65M USD, in three years. First, the government shouldn't be running a fund, instead they should be an LP & secondly that's so little money anyway. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The NZ Government proposal to ban social media for people under 16 is a terrible idea, won't help youth, and will lead to massive privacy violations for all new zealanders. This government comes up with one shit idea after another. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-...

What we’ve launched today is the first step for how we’re going to evolve verification. The initial set of trusted verifiers includes news orgs who’ve agreed to take on the task of verification for their journalists. In the future, this set will expand, as well as how apps can choose to use them.

We need an urgent plan, a grand coalition to defend democracy. If we mean it by #NeverAgain, now is the time to act. I think a targeted alliance—uniting centrist Dems and moderate Republicans from swing ag-districts—could flip the House, stopping Trump’s authoritarianism.
