"I don't care about privacy because I have nothing to hide" always misses the point.

Privacy is about being able to decide for yourself what others know about you and what they're allowed to do with what they know.

Privacy is about setting boundaries to technology and those who are building it.

Privacy is about having a say in who should get to shape our future.

A handful of billionaires (and an especially vile trillionaire)?

Or us?

Ashton Kutcher has invested millions into companies that were supposed to take the place of the DoD’s “Totall Awareness Information Program”, including Twitter.

Ashton Kutcher is the guy who has been using child sex trafficking as a cover to turn everything ―from mobile phones to toys to internet of shit― into vectors of the spyware his companies produce.

Ashton Kutcher is basically a Peter Thiel wannabe, without the gay and better hair plugs.

Trump tried to pass sending troops into cities like Memphis as a crime-fighting measure—even though crime was already declining. But it was never about public safety. The deployments were a way to intimidate his opponents and expand federal power over cities with Democratic leadership.

Now a young man is dead.

Our defense made sooo many mistakes tonight, and you can’t do that against a better team and expect to win.

The Spain/Belgium game will be a good one. #WorldCup2026

Donald Trump governs like a mob boss, and mob bosses never tell people what to do. They don't have to. They just express the outcome they would like to see, and trust that the person they're describing it to would rather make them happy than unhappy

Now it’s even worse. If the USA went on a miraculous run and somehow won the #WorldCup it will now be forever tainted because everything that #Trump touches gets covered in slime and corruption. He’s like Midas only what he touches turns to shit.

Seriously, if #Trump will #cheat at #football / #soccer, his #midterms shenanigans are a gonna be #criminal.

Good for #Norway! So long Brazil. #WorldCup

I’m glad Balugan can play, but I think overturning a red card, even one as misapplied as that one was, is a bad precedent and I can understand why #Belgium is mad. #worldcup

Adorable.

Is this maybe an Old-Man-of-the-Woods? Found in Tennessee under tall trees in pine needles. There were a few of them, but this was the largest, most emerged from the needles. #mushrooms #mycology

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

Stock trades by President.

The blatant corruption is just staggering

Because of the existence of pregnant people, the average number of skeletons in a human body is more than one.

The future of privacy may come down to a very awkward sentence:

“Yes, I do mind. Please turn it the fuck off.”
