Wonky about rules but cynical af.
Probably not partisan enough for most of your party, yet still a patriot of the people and outspoken for solid policy. Transparency good, shenanigans bad.

If the principle is basic needs, make it cover basic needs. Make those fskers go on the record voting against diapers and deodorant, and use that in every campaign they run until they retire.

It’s not all that basic. It requires post-editing unless one has an app with algos to do it, it actively discourages live streaming as somehow a specifically hostile act, and it encourages actively blocking live press coverage.

Respectfully, opsec isn’t a third party responsibility. If one truly doesn’t want to be linked to being in a public place there are A LOT of careful steps one needs to take especially around one’s cellphone.

Like, so many people think security is just about keeping active hostile actors out. And yes that’s a big part of it. But a HUGE proportion of security fails are just, stupid human shit, which is a whole-ass different thing to protect against in a system.

Interestingly the weakest link in the trio is mumps, and additional doses only seem to offer short coverages. Our immune systems just don’t seem to pick that up with quite the same oomph and if they fail at it they tend to stay failed at it. We’re talking single digit %s but still interesting var.

I feel like the all or nothing dichotomy is a false one, and that carefully considered questions that are properly verified just aren’t on the table in the hyperpartisan discourse, and that’s frustrating because doing public good and limiting public harm aren’t actually diametrically opposed.

The main reason I’m uncomfortable with the left’s approach is that a very small number of bad actors can have an outsized negative impact, like the 9 billion in COVID relief fraud (so far) that was partially enabled by reduced scrutiny
