1923: Hitler’s failed coup.

No real consequences.
No fundamental changes.

1933: Hitler takes power.

I wish I could implant this into everyone’s brain.

Reminder: Many of the same corporations putting out July 4th tweets today also pay nothing in federal income taxes.

This MF wants *me* to pay *him* $18 a month for the "chance" to write awesome tweets for him to sell, and sit there and watch ads that he gets paid for... and then tells me I can only look at 1000 tweets a day?

Why isn't everyone gone from that place yet?

Fascinated that the owners of social media sites see API usage and web scraping as "data pillaging" -- immoral theft! Stealing! and yet, if you or I say that we should be paid for the content we create on social media the idea is laughed out of the room.

Social media is worthless without people and all the things we create do and say.

It's so valuable that these boys are trying to lock it in a vault.

Where do the bad rainbows go?

Prism.

Yevgeny #Prigozhin is not a hero for going after #Putin. This is one corrupt hoodlum going after another in a spat. This would be one sad example of gang warfare if it weren’t for the fact that someone has nuclear codes. Remember, #Wagner has been just fine acting as a surrogate for the Russians since th invasion. If he were so concerned that this invasion was under false pretenses, why was he so happy to take Putin’s money for so long? #kleptocracy #Russia (edit: typo)
Normalize saying “I have absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on”
A turning point. Mastodon is a far better source of information on the Russian situation now than Twitter. Follow the Russia and Ukraine hashtags.

"Reddit is a Dying Mall" (by me!)

I predict that what will happen to #Reddit is the same thing that is happening to Twitter and has already happened to Facebook and frankly, actual shopping malls. The business side of things will churn along divorced from the content which will become ever more generic and culturally irrelevant.

Reddit is a Dying Mall

Why it'll only get worse from here.
