Es ist doch einigermaßen erstaunlich, wie ein komplett haltloser Vorwurf eines angeblichen Plagiats den Ruf und die Karriere einer Richterin bedroht, während ein ehemaliger Gesundheitsminister, der Milliarden versenkt, völlig unbeschädigt weitermacht, obwohl es Belege und heftigen Widerstand gibt.

Weil der Peter Thiel Podcast grade so abgefeiert wird: Ja, der ist gut produziert. Aber: Er hat nicht nur Schwächen, sondern enthält mMn auch ziemlich problematische Aussagen. Here we go: Direkt in der Einleitung heißt es: "Er [Thiel] war schon antiwoke, bevor es das Wort woke überhaupt gab."

Considering the degree to which zoomers grew up online I feel like this divide really illustrates how social media was more of a progressive force in society up until it was forcibly weaponized into a fascist radicalization pipeline a few years later

I want to talk about this Associated Press article:
apnews.com/article/hegs...
Specifically, this sentence.
I don't like this sentence!
The wording implies Signal has known vulnerabilities. That's untrue. I think more people should use Signal, & don't want reporting to discourage people from it.

Transphobia is a rare and fringe belief.
Deeply held transphobia is a belief of only the most pathetic and desperate.
The mainstreaming of transphobia requires them to be loud, everywhere. It requires there be no space where trans pple are seen as "normal"

I think it’s interesting how Singal is expending great effort to “normalize” Bluesky. What effort has he put into normalizing Truth Social, which has a FAR greater market cap and a userbase that includes the literal U.S. president?
Why is it only the trans-friendly site that needs his attention? 🤔

One of the best things I learned reading about the Civil Rights Movement is that all movements are imperfect and that those expecting perfection (in strategy, from activists, or in actions) are not only opposed to the movement but often too cowardly to admit it.
