@imanibarbarin.bsky.social predicted this a couple of years back — that pandemics lead to a resurgence of eugenics, body-policing, and white-supremacy. It’s been sobering to watch her predictions play out in real time.

Honestly already better dressed than most dudes.

The craziest part of it, for me, is that they’re basing all this on a non-deterministic algorithm! So even if it does work sometimes, they definitionally can’t prove that it will work again.

I have spent 3 decades listening to hardcore infosec nerds explaining that the only safe information is information that isn't recorded anywhere. If it's stored, it can be accessed.
