🧵Last night a federal court granted Apple's request to force me to delete my public speech about Apple using their employee's bodies like lab rats & gagged me from talking about it going forward with no end date. No hearing or findings; and Apple decides what I can & can't say....

RALLY: Thursday 4/2 at NOON 450 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco Phillip Burton Federal Building with LaborMedia, Whistleblowers United, CA Coalition for Workers Memorial Day, WorkWeek, UFCLP

Incredible new interactive map out from More Than Just Parks to show threatened public lands and ways to take action. Click any marker to see the full story -- what is threatened, who is responsible, and exactly what you can do about it. Every location includes a call script for Congress.

I'm really starting to get extra appreciation for the voice of the computer in Star Trek.

It wasn't pretending to be anyone's friend. It doesn't even try to call itself an "assistant".

Just the facts-- actual facts, as from a calculator. Coolly straightforward, to the point. Pleasantly impersonal. Aloof. Not trying to manipulate anyone with mimicry of emotions it doesn't feel.

None of this cloying encouragement, the pocket sycophant ever so earnestly babytalking to a fragile ego, buttering us up with eager attentiveness, confidence, reassurance, and utterly unselfconscious lies.

No humanlike apologies-- even when it's telling you the self-destruct sequence is still active.

Unless you're in a holosuite and you specifically signed up for THAT kind of simulation, it's not going to try to lick your balls.

SO MUCH LESS CREEPY THAT WAY.

Hey folks, Apple's finally giving in & letting me do depositions for the retaliation lawsuit, but they left me with only two weeks & its going to be very expensive (at least ~$1k/each).

Want to see Employee Retaliations. Workplace Violence, or my crappy bosses deposed about Apple harassing, retaliating, suspending, & firing me?
