The videos included DOGE members unable or unwilling to define DEI; discussing how they used ChatGPT and terms such as “black” and “homosexual” to flag grants for termination but not “white” or “caucasian.”

I love my ad-blockers 🥰

Proton¹ VPN blocks most of the ads I get served, and the ones that get through are caught by AdNauseam² (which silently clicks ads in the background, costing marketing $ and poisoning metrics).

I've wasted $800+ of marketing budget³ in the last few months—for ads I never saw.

Fuck you in particular, Amazon.

Edit:

Reply-guy credentials: I've been the CDO and head of business analytics at several tech companies, and I have at least some idea how my job works.

¹ Yes, Proton has some serious issues, but I still think it works better than most other solutions when you factor in the ease of setup & operation across multiple products.

² Ad Nauseam uses uBlock Origin.

³ It wastes the company's marketing budget (high- click-through, zero sales), which lowers how much advertising platforms can charge for their services, which hurts those platforms too in the long run.

★ If your reply boils down to "it's useless to do anything, because ____", then 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don't know what to fucking tell ya; roll over.

Reddit seems to have deleted a post with 7400 upvotes and the title:

"I traced $2B in grants and 45 states' lobbying behind age‑verification bills"

.... US Corpos do not want us to see this but luckily we still have this github repo.

Here the relevant reddit post that was removed:

i really dug this paragraph in @pluralistic 's latest treatise on AI:

"There's a different advantage to confining your concerns to imaginary things: imaginary things don't exist, so they don't contest your public statements about them, nor do they make demands on you. Think of how the right concerns itself with imaginary children (unborn babies, children in Wayfair furniture; children in nonexistent pizza parlor basements, children undergoing gender confirmation surgery). These are very convenient children to advocate for, since, unlike real children (hungry children, children killed in the Gaza genocide, children whose parents have been kidnapped by ICE, children whom Matt Goetz and Donald Trump trafficked for sex, children in cages at the US border, trans kids driven to self-harm and suicide after being denied care), nonexistent children don't want anything from you and they never make public pronouncements about whether you have their best interests at heart."

“Okay, get the screwdriver in under the boot¹ release button. There’s a clip on each side—you gotta push in while prying down. Good, now the other side.”

“Got it. There’s four wires stopping it coming off.”

“It’s the wires we want; that’s the CAN bus. Clip one of these on to each wire”

“Which ones, the colours don’t match?”

“Hang on, looking it up…Westinghouse Model Y 2028. Red probe on orange wire, black probe on green. Other two will auto swap if you get them wrong.”

“What now?”

“Load the app, let it scan for the motor control unit.”

“Found it!”

“Right, now drag that power limit slider way down. Five hundred watts oughta do it.”

“Hahaha done.”

“Sweet; unclip and put the latch back. We’ll see how you fuckers like your new safety limit. Shit, cops! On your bike, ride casual. If they light up, we split.”

“I know, and if they catch me it’s shut the fuck up Thursday”
