Up until now, I have mostly felt insulated from the increase in disinfo over on Twitter. Mostly because I follow lists of curated accounts from The Old Days. But today even hardened OSINT people were struggling to deal with the firehose of fake postings. That place is nearly done.

Okay, I really want to sing the praises of the game "I Was A Teenage Exocolonist". Five stars, do recommend. Available on Steam, GOG, Itch and maybe other places.

TLDR: What looks like a cozy time-waster is actually a surprisingly compelling RPG story with moments of emotional wallop.

@TheKarlWLewis Love of a tough guy talking tough (Authoritarianism) always has a hard core of popularity pretty much everywhere.

Erm, at the moment from what I can tell via polling, the vast majority of Republicans are just fine with the crazy far right. Not all of them (I happen to know one old school big business country club R myself), but most of them.

This morning I had physical therapy very early, so I made an effort to slip out quietly and let my wife sleep in. In this quest I succeeded. However...

Basically, EVERYONE is paying off Clarence Thomas. Surely some of it must be, you know, actually illegal?

@th3j35t3r I remember when I was afraid Lindell and his crew would come up with something that looked flashy and attractive. That was quite a while back. They can't even lie effectively.

@EnochianEntropy It's less weird given the historical context, but it is a situation that should be fixed ASAP.

@kay_dub I haven't foggiest idea how the thing works if you don't subscribe to newsletters. I assumed I could see and post because I was a paying subscriber to a couple.

And a former Usenet person! Wow. Don't run into a lot of those.

@ECNC This Verge article came out and the section on moderation is...something. And has set off a discussion on the site itself.

@XaoslordErie I need to read this whole interview, but the bit where the guy just refuses to say they would cut out blatantly racists posts was...something.

Wow, Substack's new Notes feature is barely 72(?) hours old and it's already about to become a shitshow over content moderation. Impressive.

I hope we aren't shooting down potentially benevolent aliens. We could use some right about now.

@mcfate I'd like to know WTF the rules actually are, to start. For example, today I am here while connected to the VPN. No problems at all. And like other people, I like using a VPN because I'm tired of being the product. I can't avoid it all the time, but I've no intention of making it easy for ISPs. I pay for my connection, after all.
