Here in NYC my daughter’s high school’s LGBQT club gave out these bracelets yesterday. She wore these home on her arm. While walking down 1st Ave in Manhattan a normally dressed white dude shouted at her “You fagg*ts are what’s wrong with America! Can’t wait to put you back in your place.”

My daughter is straight but wearing them in solidarity. And she’s a tough New Yorker who brushed off the dumbasses comments. But these assholes are everywhere and think they’re tough yelling at 13yr olds.

A friend just pointed out:

"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

Let’s do this.

Insightful essay from Bruce #Schneier and Barath Raghavan - using James C. Scott's "Seeing like a State" and showing how abstraction of socio-technical systems now lets us "See like a Data Structure".

Worth a read for anyone into #STS, #data and #sociology.

Where it left me wanting was solutions - how do we stop seeing like a data structure, and embrace nuance, complexity, richness and diversity?

It reminds me very much of the work "Re-wilding the internet" by Maria Farrell and Robin Berjon.

I, a total stranger, was thinking of befriending your kid, but before I did, I thought I'd ask you, are they a boring, selfish jerk?

It's fine if they are, I'm just really trying to find quality people to be friends with, so I thought I'd ask you, is your kid a dick?

Wait, don't get offended! How are people supposed to know whether to hang out with your kid if you can't answer a simple question?!

Fake Polish Press Agency reports on Poland sending troops to Ukraine blamed on Russian hackers

Two false dispatches reporting that Poland was calling up 200,000 for military service and sending them to Ukraine appeared on the website of the Polish Press Agency (PAP) on Friday afternoon. Senior officials, including Prime Minister Donald Tusk, have blamed the incident on Russian hackers.

For any of you who still don't think sex work is real work, a sex worker just took down the leader of facism in the U.S., and that took some fucking work.

Look, I get it. Jack wants the freedom to sport that godawful beard and Twitter is genuinely the only place where wannabe billionaire simps won't roast him for having facial hair that somehow screams "white supremacist billy goat".
