We’ve got to be able to do better than ::gestures broadly::
Everything I like on the internet is because of open protocols connecting human experience and expertise.
My actual view. My actual dog.

That seems like a bit of a non-sequitur but I have benefited a lot in my career from people more senior than me learning in the open and have tried to learn openly in a way that inspires others to ask questions and be okay with openly not knowing things.

I just called all my reps using 5calls extremely helpful contact info and script. Got through to one, left a voicemail for another, and had to dig up Adam Schiff's website contact page because the voicemail was full and you're not getting rid of me that easy. You should do it too.

If you have ever received treasury payments - tax returns, student loans, financial aid, social security, etc. Call your bank, mortgage company, credit card company, university. Express concerns about the federal personal data breach. Ask how they will protect your information. Put on the pressure!

pro tip: if you want to block someone but don't want them finding it out, you should have an anonymous alt account with a blocklist that you place them on... but then you subscribe to that blocklist via your main account, thus making it "invisible" on clearsky

We as an industry need to take a hard look in the mirror.
Yes, young people think they’re invincible.
But after 15 years in tech I can say without a doubt that “move fast and break things” has had horrific consequences on accountability.

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!
