There's an argument to be made that common boilerplate terms are more overreaching than they need to be but this is just bad reading skills. https://twitter.com/ashleygjovik/status/1651686218319425570
Seeing everyone having babies reminds me that I'm a decade older than a bunch of my circle here.
(If you don't know what I'm parodying, consider yourself lucky.)
There are several reasons for grouping them together as a single “bundle” of ideologies. First, all trace their lineage back to the first-wave Anglo-American eugenics tradition.
Second, they're all full of my enemies.
Where did “ADVIL” come from? Answer: a paper that I coauthored with a machine elf I met while high, which is currently under review. It stands for “Atheists, Democrats, Villains, Independents, and Lesbians.”

Defending myself against Nanni's copper slander: what really happened🧵 (1/78)
Me: The water came down here, so I went upstairs to ask what they were doing, but the lady doesn't speak English very well and didn't understand what I was asking.
Maintenance Guy: Let me be racist at you for two minutes.
Me: I shall <um> noncommittally and hope this ends soon.

You may ask yourself: is this my circus?
You may ask yourself: are these my monkeys?
The worst ting is making a thread and blowing the character limit on a couple of the posts so that you have to click through to read them.
If you're going to do that, just make a mega-long post. A thread where I have to click each post to read the last word is just annoying.

Competition is just a click (and $45b) away

> #Google pays $45 billion a year for contracts to lock out rivals, signing deals with “Apple, LG, Motorola, and Samsung; major U.S. wireless carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon; and browser developers such as Mozilla, Opera, and UCWeb— to secure default status for its general search engine and, in many cases, to specifically prohibit Google’s counterparties from dealing with Google’s competitors.”

It is utterly hilarious to me that the scourge of valorant is e-daters.
Alice: Bob, I need your help.
Bob: hmm?
Alice: I'm making mead and I bottled it too early while it's still fermenting. Now I need someone to drink it before the pressure builds up and breaks the bottle.
Bob: I shall fling myself upon this grenade to protect you.
It's funny to me that the bluecheck is going to transition from implying that the wearer is a disconnected clueless buffoon to implying the same thing but with a different political valence, without ever stopping at normal, but wanted the extra features.
I have an incident I want to recast as an Alice and Bob sketch, but I'm not sure who should be Alice and who should be Bob.

I've only recommended one VPN service, ever (and no, I don't have any financial relationship to them): Mullvad. They have always seemed to be one of the few entities that practices the mantra, "You don't have to protect what you don't collect."
This is quite a press release:
"Mullvad VPN was subject to a search warrant. Customer data not compromised
20 April 2023 NEWS
On April 18 at least six police officers from the National Operations Department (NOA) of the Swedish Police visited the Mullvad VPN office in Gothenburg with a search warrant.
They intended to seize computers with customer data.
In line with our policies such customer data did not exist. We argued they had no reason to expect to find what they were looking for and any seizures would therefore be illegal under Swedish law. After demonstrating that this is indeed how our service works and them consulting the prosecutor they left without taking anything and without any customer information.
If they had taken something that would not have given them access to any customer information.
Mullvad has been operating our VPN service for over 14 years. This is the first time our offices have been visited with a search warrant."
