One year later, I’m gladder than ever I left Twitter - Fast Company
I have seen the future of social networking, and it’s way better without Elon Musk at the controls.

Full disclosure: My name was on at the top of Vladimir Putin's list of blacklisted Canadians. Maybe it's because my name begins with A.
Nonetheless, I have felt the need to earn that distinction.
Fuck you, Putin, your troll machine and your gangster regime.

The convoy crew held the people of Ottawa hostage and tried to divide people with rage politics.
No wonder they are freaked out by Canadian solidarity and goodwill.

I am aware that Musk would not have personally been involved in setting up this server. But it reminds me that I’m still unclear on whether he basically knows anything about software, like, at all.
DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation.
This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

I am hearing from gov employees who got the OPM email but won't open it because it seems so shady. Things are going great.

Folks CRISPR is not used for designer human embryos (yet).
It happened one time that we know of, it was an enormous scandal, and the researcher went to jail for 3 yrs.
If Elon did do it, it would be on the front page of every publication and you wouldn’t stop hearing about it.
That post is fake.

When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the use of Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines last December — a year after the coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China — it was a dramatic piece of good news after one of the most disruptive years the country has ever experienced.

RCMP press releases in P.E.I. and New Brunswick come with a specific communication officer's name, so someone is publicly responsible for the message. In Nova Scotia, where the RCMP promised accountability, transparency, and improved communications, the press releases are now anonymous.
