I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

weird personal story: when reCAPTCHA was acquired by google, Marissa Mayer was in charge of branding, and therefore domain names. so the question of "what URL or domain should reCAPTCHA serve from" had to get answered by our PM literally camping outside her door for hours until she had a free moment

"SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, whose company owns Starlink, accused the Ukrainian military of violating the company’s terms." what'd they do, use Starlink to post that photo of Elon with Ghislaine Maxwell

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Now that this is out in the open, I can say that a certain book I did for a certain publisher affiliated with one of these people had generative expand used on my cover art without my permission, and it wasn’t removed before publication

Had this idea in lockdown, half-built it, forgot about it, remembered it again, though might as well finish it.
