I hear Elon Musk has announced his intention to vote Republican. (Surprise, surprise.) Trump 2.0… coming soon.

@EU_Commission "Don't be afraid to show your true colours -- we already know from your communication anyway"

#chatcontrol

@EU_Commission How can we not be afraid when you threaten to send our private communications to anti-queer authoritarians? Don’t tell us to not be afraid, just stop #chatcontrol

The #WMO State of the Global Climate in 2021 report:
Four key #ClimateChange indicators break records in 2021

Four key #climate change indicators – #GreenhouseGas concentrations, #SeaLevelRise, #OceanHeat and ocean #acidification – set new records in 2021. This is yet another clear sign that human activities are causing planetary scale changes on land, in the ocean, and in the atmosphere

@EU_Commission @EDPS the endless stream of well-founded criticism should've made very clear a long time ago: This #ChatControl regulation is a crazy bad idea!

It's incomprehensible that it found its way this far through the #EUParliament and #EUCommission and only serves to seriously undermine the #Trust citizens have in the #EU.

Does it show incompetence with MEP's? Malice? Power abuse? Taking the easy road and just surveill everything? Likely a combination of all that.

#StopThisCrazyThing ⛔

The @EU_Commission gets good interaction on their toots, even though they are merely Twitter crossposts.

Like the highly controversial and insanely bad proposed legislation around #ChatControl. See the @Chartodon chart and this thread:

Now compare to the Musk'O Bird site where they have 1.6 million followers..

And just a handful of responses

The more I read about the new #chatcontrol #MassSurveillance and how politicians love it, the more hatred I have to hold back. HOW CAN THEY BE SO DUMB? THAT'S WHY WE READ '1984' AND 'Brave new World' IN SCHOOL FOR FUCKS SAKE!

Especially in Germany I have ZERO tolerance for this fucking bullshit. We first had the Gestapo, then there was the Stasi inside the DDR. Now we get the EU Protective Services or whatever. I'm PISSED.

@EU_Commission Stop #ChatControl! Stop mass surveillance!

our love & solidarity to those mourning the recent racist terrorist shootings in the USA

freedom isn't about how many guns you can have, it's about going grocery shopping without being murdered by one

none of us are free until we're all free

White people have race
Cis men have gender
Straight people have sexuality
Abled people have access needs.

It's just that theirs are dominant and unquestioned in a way that refuses coexistence with difference, always elbowing others out while denying they do it.

If you would be so kind I'm looking for good/your favourite resources describing mechanisms and criticisms of how funding for scientific work shapes technological possibility and political discourse about technology.

Have you noticed some extremely normal ads from extremely normal "grassroots activists" who are really, really worried that if we break up Facebook, China will *destroy America* and that is why Congress must absolutely stop trying to regulate America's tech giants, the bristling colossi that stand guard to defend us from the menace across the ocean?
