I'm not a follow back guy. For one thing, I don't post much so I don't give all that much of a damn if you follow me. For another, I like keeping my feed filtered to people who've already passed a vibe check.
My social batteries have limited capacity. I save that charge for where I know it's good.

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Maybe I oversold it with "mix." Ended up going with just knock-off Baileys on the rocks.
In my defense, it's still just 9-ish in this timezone.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Article doesn't say they kicked the gov't ads off the platform. In fact, it kinda sounds like the gov't simply ended that ad campaign as planned because Spotify was happy to accept their money and not intervene.
There's nothing to reward them for doing here.

has a domain they can print those lies on themselves. You don't bring a single fucking scrap of value to the table by reprinting them verbatim with no assessment of their validity.
I encourage everyone to join me. Make them fix their newsrooms or go broke.

Sorry if you're not a decision maker at one of these orgs and you feel called out, but I *fully fucking decline* to contribute to the bottom line of any news org that can't manage basic journalistic integrity.

They're specifically sold as tools that synthesize information to produce informative results.
IMO it shouldn't really matter that they aren't actually capable of that. The companies marketing them claim them as such, and lead consumers to treat their output *as* speech.

I'm not sure "the market segment would cease to be viable due to legal risk over harmful output" really goes in the cons column here. This is a very narrowly defined subsegment of posts, not a broad attack on things protected by 230.
