Survivor of Twitter Order 66.

Aussie. Leftie. Apanthropist. I post a lot about COVID, get angry at politicians, worry for my children's future, and have a cat.

Really missing Apollo (third-party Reddit app). It was the only way I accessed Reddit via mobile. Surely usage stats are down on that site now with the destruction of third-party apps?
(The official app is horrible)

ppl think adelaide is a politically sleepy city... last time it woke up, it scared the politicians soooo bad

they moved all the poor folks to the outskirts of the city, so we couldnt get to the houses of power in the CBD

Have to really start using here more, since Elon is doing his very best to kill the bird site.

Over on the bird site, Ubaka Ogbogu, Canadian Law Professor, shared their forthcoming paper, "Pandemic Necropolitics: Vulnerability, Resilience, and the Crisis of Marginalization in the Liberal Democratic State."

"The central claim made is that vulnerability and marginalization are products of a covert and intentional politics of death."

โ€œA good day to re-up this forthcoming paper, where I argue that pandemic policies in many jurisdictions including Alberta are designed to purposefully kill the vulnerable and marginalized. https://t.co/uty7OccKXkโ€

The episode was another window into Elon Muskโ€™s improvisational approach to rewriting Twitterโ€™s rules. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/musk-elon-twitter-ella-irwin-trans-video-what-is-a-woman-stream-rcna87429

Did you ... ?
Of course there's also COVID. No, I don't have it. But it exists. And it curtails my life outside of my house and my direct family.
I'm a man in my early 50s. Is this what the supposed "mid-life crisis" feels like? I thought I'd done that.
