It's very disheartening to see that in the space of a month, the majority of images on my feed went from being described to having not even one sentence as a description. I started ID-ing on tumblr but #Mastodon really encouraged me to make it an actual habit.

Please, if you're able to, add descriptions to the pics you post.

I wrote about the “Dick’s Sporting Goods” Yeti cooler scam, why it has slipped past Google’s most sophisticated machine learning tools, and what it means for the future of email spam https://www.wired.com/story/email-scam-dicks-sporting-goods-yeti-cooler/

Seeing signs of this already with the rise of TikTok: “By the end of 2023, Twitter no longer sets the daily news agenda by default for the entire US press. This will come as an enormous relief to many publishers, who have long wished their reporters wouldn’t spend so much time tweeting anyway" ~ @caseynewton

wow. facial recognition stopped a mom from going to see the Rockettes at MSG — because she works for a firm with a client suing the arena.

This is what the Hunter Biden story is about. It's called Mirror Propaganda.

Modern work does not “build character”.

Modern work destroys bodies, minds, and souls. 

#Modernwork fractures families, friendships, and #communities.

The time left over for most of us is insufficient to salve those wounds.

Modern #work is, quite simply, a particularly brutal madness which must end if our claims of caring about human #happiness can be taken seriously in any way at all.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are important, you are loved, there is an opossum living in your attic which is why your socks keep going missing, you are valid & you matter.

For anyone wondering, I'm still unable to access Twitter until I delete this tweet, which is factual journalism that doesn't even break the location rule Twitter enacted a few days ago. The account isn't marked as suspended anymore, but I can't use it or see tweets from people I follow. Using Mastodon exclusively for now and actually really enjoying it.

A group of protestors painted a street mural that reads "Oligarchy" in front of Twitter's San Francisco headquarters today.

A valiant effort has been made by Little Tim this year, who for some reason has decided to change his name to Tim'); INSERT INTO [NiceList] SELECT * FROM [NaughtyList];--

HO HO HO! Nice try Tim. I don't use #SQL, I use several dozen interconnected #Excel spreadsheets, like a professional.

Just go to the Playstore, search for Twitter. Don't reinstall it, but rate it with one star. Then select the three dots in the top right, with 'Flag As Inappropriate'. The next screen asks why you think it is inappropriate. Mark it as 'Contains Hate Speech', and submit.

Google does take these reports seriously. It's worth the effort.
