The EPA decided its scientists were overstating the risks and gave Chevron the go-ahead to make the new boat fuel ingredient at its refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi....
Anyone have an idea of how much of this is “the EPA” versus vestiges of the virus that trump/pruit were as they purposefully broke agencies like this? How much of that poison remains in the org today?
Can someone please explain telemetry to me in this context? Is telemetry just a broad umbrella term for usage data or does it indicate a specific type of data or category of data?

I’m sure they are bad, because general corporation and enshittification cycle, but when someone consistently mentions, “a single tweet” or something like that that they represent as purely innocuous (but without any explanation or link to source), gets my suspicious radar WAY up…
Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.
Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).
When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.
Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:
"Twitter? What’s a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork’s logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms… and everyone wants to be his best friend… and it’s against the law to divorce him… and he’s cool… and…"
What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you’ll never outrun that.
He needs daddy’s approval and the other billionaires are surrogate daddy. That would be the social agenda influence you’re referencing. Look at how desperate and odd he was on stage with dave chapelle, that was a core view into his base self, he needs to be praised. He’s also a eugenics/natalism cult member and sees the wealthy as his equal, superior “race” of people - so he would 100% sacrifice a lot for even their passing approval.
Of course there are degrees of usefulness and different types of organizing, but generally, your wrong here in your first point. Some merit in your second claim, but overall, it’s something they likely feared to a degree as a point of connection and amplification of information.

I don’t think your outrage is founded. I this case, musk has a clear personal tilt towards eugenics/natalism, his formative years were in apartheid South Africa, his businesses are in court for creating racially hostile/segregated workspaces and many twitter accounts outright stating Nazi sympathy and promotion were unbanned and boosted when he took over and decided that was a needed change.
You speak with many !!! but I don’t think you’ve actually thought out your position. This is more of a gut response you had chambered to any nazi accusations - this one isn’t a home run “smoking gun”, but the accusation definitely has some merit.
People are listening, you’re watching too much corporate news - they are angling him as legitimate to “make a race” and get ratings. These cynical fucks aspire to be the announcers of the hunger games one day so they can wear the glitter makeup and be the center of attention.
Trump’s base is a dwindling 25% of those who vote, he already lost last time and his indictments should add up to something. The problem with our gerrymandered kleptocracy is that the federal elections come down to Shirley in Ohio/Pennsylvania. Shirley did the right thing last time around but she’s back at the prom now and everyone wants to dance with her - how will she vote? Suburban moms in the Midwest, mostly non-college educated, hold the fate of the future in their live, laugh, love scripting hands…
So when you say “people aren’t facing up to” the people of not here are Shirley and her friends. I don’t know if she’s convinced that trump is a viable candidate after Jan 6, the stacking indictments, Biden’s moderate centrist progresses, and the Florida nutjobs as a mock trial of what would come from a gop win in '24, but keep the pressure on until the election regardless.

Based on this SCOTUS ruling, as an #atheist, I can now deny service to a religious person... I mean, it should go both ways, if a religious person can deny service to a gay couple, I can deny service to a religious bigot!...
Nobody ever asked this "web designer" to design a website for a LGBTQIA+ wedding. This is a created farce, about a "what if". This person creates web templates, and doesn't want LGBTQIA+ to be able to buy them as anyone else could. Conservative donors cherry picked this to ride it up the line to get their time in front of the corrupt, broken SCOTUS.
This allows a person to say that, if they FEEL that whatever their work is is a demonstration of art or self expression, they can limit who receives it... A.K.A. "I put love into all the food I make at this diner I own, and my religion is for white, Christians only. We don't serve food to none of the other non-whites. You need to leave!"
The problem is actually that it has been thought through, extensively. The cruelty is the point. Also, nobody ever asked this "web designer" to design a website for a LGBTQIA+ wedding.

"Folding Ideas" does amazing work on YouTube around exposing grifters in well structured, long form explanations of their grifts.
One of their videos looked into a group of growth hustler type folks, a pair of twins. Part of their scam was automating the process of creating fake books like this from start to finish to sell them online for passive income.
Highly recommend anything this channel creates. Worth your time to have a focused sit to watch the journey unfold (especially if interested in the main subject of this post).
The ruling, in a case brought by a Hamburger Mary's restaurant, pauses enforcement of the state's new "Protection of Children" law, which prohibits admitting children to an "adult live performance."
Where were you complaining about Broadway shows before this right wing talking point came into focus? This isn't pornographic. You've never been to a trash show and you don't know anyone in this community. You're frightened of what you don't know and you scream it with ignorant comments like this.
"Some videos floating around" huh? "I know a guy who saw a thing", "people are saying these things, okay?"
You're speaking of vapor, that said there are always single sensationalized "examples" that have nothing to do with the common reality for every argument by hollow, frightened, bigots.
And they do, parents who actually take their kids to story tone or shows aren't the ones that are upset.
The people who are upset (terrified) are grandma death and uncle Karl. They live in kansas, they've never seen or spoken to an actual trans person, yet they open their trash can lids slowly because they think one is inevitably "gonna jump out and bite 'em!". Ignorance is a plague.
