Everytime I hit a paywall on some respected journalism site and then simply don't read the article rather than subscrining, I think about how Fox, Breitbart, The Daily Mail, et al. never ever ever paywall their content. I think about this constantly.

The road to fascism is paved with people telling you that you're overreacting.

I won’t be attending re:invent after all. 🙁 Nor have I done a good job of responding to DMs or following up on commitments for ages. I’ve been having an extremely bad time this year and I am checking into a psych hospital and changing meds. So hopefully 2023 will be better.

You still don't seem to get it. Twitter's users are not the customers. We are the product. The advertisers are the customers. Charging journalists for a security feature (at a price no one will pay) will make this site less reputable and less attractive for your ACTUAL customers.

Hey @elonmusk, I am not paying $240 a year to stay verified. No one will. It's not a status symbol, it's a security feature. Making it a paid service will hurt a ton of journalists and make fake news spread more easily.

Another reminder: Twitter wouldn't even be this deep in the red if not for Musk's deal to buy it in the first place. It's effectively an LBO, and one he couldn't even afford and tried to get out of. Dumb billionaire does dumb thing on impulse and tries more dumb stuff to fix it.

One of the takeaway from Brazil's election should be that cops set up over 500 roadblocks to prevent Lula supporters from voting. Cops were also disproportionately represented among the January 6th rioters. It's past time folks realize that police are fascists.

My neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats so I asked how many cats he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new cat afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding shelter cats to coyotes and then his daughter started crying.

You can tell it's getting tight out here, even for tech people. When hardcore open source people have to get salaried jobs. No offense to anyone involved here. I'm not judging anybody. I just wanna call out that these things are almost always driven by economics.

Gamergate was v1.0 of a type of online information warfare, extremely effective at weaponing white male rage and radicalizing them into digital soldiers for fringe causes. We still talk about it because the playbook is being used by far more dangerous actors at greater scale.

If every account followed by @verified subscribes b/c of this shakedown, that's $26M/year. Musk owes $1B/year in interest. Not sure this is the magical solution. (And the risk of chasing verified users off the platform and confusing everyone seems.... not worth $26M/year.)

This should really mark the end of the “benevolent billionaire” myth. Not only did Musk pay $44 billion for Twitter when he could’ve ended starvation globally with that money, he also has already literally backed out of a $6 billion promise to the UN to help solve world hunger.
