Twitter is actively blocking all links to any article that names Hans Kristian Graebener as the infamous neo-Nazi comic artist Stonetoss. Several Twitter accounts have been suspended for simply tweeting Graebener's name.

Interesting post from the man who fired the teams that investigate foreign intelligence services using his platform to run this playbook. 🥴

With all of these Apple Watches and other wearables with pulse-ox sensors, shouldn't we have collectively lots of data on what fentanyl overdoses look like to a wearable?

I wonder fentanyl OD looks distinctive enough to a wearable to enable a safety feature or an app to alert friends?

You do not have to be on Twitter. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Twitter shut itself down on the first day of Q3 and we're supposed to believe that this is about anything other than a free cash flow crunch?

Anyone check whether Google Cloud finally cut Elon off due to nonpayment?

I don't know about y'all, but I think organizations laying off accessibility teams and drivers to be a big warning flag that they don't actually prioritize accessibility.

And I'm tired of it.

Tucker Carlson sent racist text rooting for an "antifa kid" to be lynched to death.

“A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington,” Tucker Carlson texted a producer. “A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living s**t out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/03/media/tucker-carlson-text-message/index.html

Some early observations about Bluesky:

• People are having fun. People clearly missed using Twitter to shitpost.
• There are no norms yet. Nobody uses content warnings, nor is there a built-in feature for content warnings.
• Nobody uses alt text. Nobody gets scolded for not using alt text. Right now, Bluesky seems like a nightmare for blind and low-vision people.
• It's eery to see known abusers on Bluesky who I've had blocked for years, without the ability to block them.
• It's only a matter of days before violent right-wing accounts like Ady Ng show up on Bluesky. They WILL be allowed on, and they WILL build large followings, and the content moderation and privacy tools of Bluesky are not yet up to the task.
