Until the pandemic you had to file complaints on paper in E.D. Pa. I think we were the last district in the country with that rule.
Dear Elon:
1. Only a wanker would call a lawsuit “thermonuclear”
2. Only a twat would rush to file a complicated lawsuit.
3. Lawsuits are e-filed and you don’t have to wait for court to be open, you huge git.

That’s just to start.

But I don't think this is about data, or even real experience. The intensity is coming from people who want the narrative of runaway inflation, and don't want to give it up 3/

Which vendor did Elmo "forget" to pay this week? (TBH, this wouldn't be a bad time for the X'd out service to take a long weekend.)

Veterans of the 1990s war on rap music and violent video games.
Yes, the what-about-the-children hand-wringers and the crazed-right-wing-anti-LGBT-fascists can embrace and agree on something.
Notice how the generically anti-tech line of the NYT is easily leveraged into support for online censorship that will affect marginalized groups first and foremost.

So, look, Musk is an idiot and has put in place policies that definitely encourage disinfo on exTwitter, but @thierrybreton.bsky.social sending smug "censor or else!" letters is garbage.

EU taking pages from the Chinese censorship playbook is a problem.

Sure, There’s Disinfo On ExTwitter, But The EU Should Not Be Demanding Censorship
Some of us have been warning about the dangers of the Digital Services Act (DSA) in the EU for quite some time, and pointed out that Elon Musk was effectively endorsing censorship in May of 2022 (a…

I'm not similarly situated, but the enshittification has gotten to the point that its very difficult to bypass, the basic features are degrading *and* interesting activity is dropping as informed people depart and the bozos take over. This last piece is likely what will kill that platform entirely.

1) To be clear: her now-deleted tweet did not say it was a "strategic error." It said it was a DELIBERATE decision FOR THE PRUPOSE of making sure the drag ban was *upheld.* That is enormously different.

Free speech is when they get to say the n-word. Defamation is when someone calls them racist for saying the n-word.

I peeked in on Mastodon and everyone is talking about Bluesky. Then I peeked in on Twitter and everyone is talking about Bluesky. Then I opened Bluesky and everyone is talking about cock.
