Got the COVID booster today. The pharmacy leaflet even came with the full ingredients list! Contrary to what conspiracy theorists would tell you it all seems to check out. More recent ones even have a change so that it stings less than the older ones, I barely even felt it.

1000 years after Star Wars episode VI, the dark side has been defeated. There is no dark side. The lack of balance leads to pervasive light side hegemony - an invisible empire. #starwars 1/2

Google used to have the motto "don't be evil" - today they make AI weapon systems: www.wired.com/story/google...
Netflix used to brag about not having ads, now you can pay with ads!
Facebook was "bringing people closer together" - including Myanmar genociders and their victims.

Fun fact: OpenAI of all companies started as a "non profit" before restructuring to allow profit generation.
They took in optimistic technologists, told them they'd do good and built support before turning it around and slapping them in the face.
Now they're profiting from art theft.

#VEday is bitter sweet moreso this year than ever. The Nazis enacted Action T4, as they believed those who were too sick to work - too disabled to contribute to the state - were not worthy of life. So they had them killed.
At great cost, that evil ideology was defeated by our ancestors. 1/2

A fun fact about the tech industry is they like to use NDAs.
Social media sites have been documented to pay high follower accounts to join their platform.
Why has Bsky grown so much faster than mastodon? Those who know may not be allowed to tell us, but are happy for it. 💰

Sometimes we say things and most people don't get it, or disagree, or find it cringe or whatever. But I figure if salmon can swim against the current and get away with it then why not?

Video of a student in my town who wrote a political op-ed being grabbed off the street by government agents bsky.app/profile/pale...
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
