The moving parts of this ongoing story are important. Andy Ngô, a fascist propagandist once aptly described as 'America's Most Dangerous Grifter' (and personal enemy of mine) has gained the ear of Musk, as have other well-known neo-nazis and white nationalists.

They are brazenly conducting these conversations in the open, indifferent to the outrage. That place literally belongs to Musk, now, and he is toxic masculine insecurity in the flesh. Ngô himself has much in common with Musk. I think he is even imitating Musk's accent these days.

Wrapped on the first block of shooting from my new feature doc "Adrianne & the Castle"!
Why #cop27 is not occurring via a webconference? May be a hybrid that requires people to meet in dozens of cities but overall preventing the use of planes, expensive hotels, and waste? Why is ir designed still as a sort of festival or outing rather than a working participatory meeting where more could meet and exchange ideas? #ClimateJustice #climateadaptation #ClimateEmergency
I'm really enjoying Mastodon since I joined last week. One thing I miss a lot about #Twitter is that my timeline was much more #diverse. That's one of the main reasons I still have a foot in the door there. I follow many #BlackTwitter and #IndigenousTwitter accounts. Thoughts about making Mastodon a more inviting place for diverse communities to migrate to?

Hi again all! I'm Matt, a researcher and lecturer, fighting #facialrecognition and other #carceral #tech by day at Amnesty Tech, teaching #sociology at #Cambridge and writing on digital urban infrastructures as new frontiers for #racial #capitalism and #migration #control by night. Bouldering and hiking to escape the demands of capital. Drink coffee to survive them.

Any other #CriticalRace and #STS folks out there?

Waah its so unfair to be an incompetent billionaire making horrible decisions and ruining many people's lives. Those activists are so unfair making me loose revenue. Waah.
