This is enormously fucked up.

Per NBC4 NY reporter Sarah Wallace on the bird site: A mom was kicked out of Christmas Rockettes show at MSG-owned Radio City after being tagged by *facial recognition* technology, which identified her as someone who works a law firm involved in a suit against a restaurant now owned by MSG.

"I don’t practice in New York. I’m not an attorney that works on any cases against MSG," she said.

"Can I have a belly rub - like now? Pleeeeeaaase?"

Today is my 1 month anniversary of signing up for Mastodon. A few observations—after spending 13+ years on Twitter:

•The Mastodon community is kinder & more focused on lifting one another up than tearing down.

•Mastodon is learning from Twitter's mistakes by including accessibility options, incorporating an edit button, & not centralizing everything

•Engagement is not dependent on clickbait or outrage, but genuine positive content.

None of the above are absolutes, but overall, glad I'm here.

As a human rights lawyer I've worked on religious discrimination issues for decades—including how nations normalize violence against minorities via silence against their dehumanization.

GOP silence at Trump hosting a literal Nazi is devastating for American Jews & US democracy.
