@adamdavidson I just read this from Der Spiegel and it convinced me to leave. It's not a social network anymore it's a social experiment and we are the test subjects. I think they nailed it. Here is the link: https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/apps/elon-musk-entsperrt-donald-trump-twitter-hat-keine-nutzer-mehr-sondern-nur-noch-benutzte-a-ddc72793-1c1b-47b2-89e7-fa179760a3f5

TIL long-eared hedgehogs exist and are adorable

I spoke to Edward Jones-Imhotep, whose work is on Black androids, about the Tesla bot for @WIRED. It’s not hard to understand what Elon wants from human workers when you see the Tesla bot’s racialized and sexualized dressing, uses for menial and degrading tasks (notably, bending over), and design specifically so it can be “overpowered” by a master. And of course enslaved, and not paid or fed.

I cannot emphasize this enough, if you've ever used Twitter credentials to log into anything else you need to figure out how to get out from under that as soon as you can.

Wow!! Stunning capture by David Rojas:
The total lunar eclipse at dawn on Tues, 11/8/22. The photograph was taken from the Pacaya volcano in Guatemala, at a height of 7066" above one of the extinct cones of the volcanic complex called "Cerro Chino". In the image you can see the moon in its total phase with its characteristic red color of a lunar eclipse, above the moon the star cluster of Las Pleyades (Messier 45) and below the Fuego volcano (with lava) and Acatenango. #photography #art
