    Also, if you rent in Los Angeles: Get involved with your local ! The energy and solidarity in LATU zoom meetings have been one of the few bright spots of this whole thing.

    "It is very unhappy, but too late to be helped, the discovery we have made, that we exist." Ralph Waldo Emerson just fucked me up.

    This is spot on. Read the whole thread:

    LA locked down for months to save lives. But then we hastily reopened -- and now our outbreak is exploding. We're seeing record hospitalizations. The most since April. But unlike back then, businesses are open. And workers are in danger. (thread)

    More than funds, I think it needs to have real roots in a broader movement for social justice, like the alternative media that came up in the 1960s, and not tech people trying to fix a problem created by other tech people

    I feel like every couple years a viable non profit alternative pops up. But the infrastructure required needs deep deep funds

    it is sad to me that the idea of alternative social media has become totally monoplized by reactionary free speech warriors (ie gab) while liberals and leftists continue to delude themselves into thinking we can beg or bully Big Tech into doing better.

    We need an independent, non-profit social media platform aimed at decommodifying speech and online identity, stat.

    still on track for this imo

    After reading the CDC coronavirus report (1) and this widely-cited paper suggesting suppression will have to last until a vaccine (2) I'm mentally preparing myself for 18 months of this. Anything less is a happy surprise: 1) 2)

    just as striking is that our national government seems to prefer sowing chaos & disorder to taking full advantage of the clear opportunities for emergency powers, mass surveillance, and control of physical movement. contradictions of revanchism + neoliberalism!

    Everyone talks about Jeremy Bentham's weird prison. But the Panopticon chapter starts out with a really fascinating section on plague-fighting measures in the end of the seventeenth century.

    I have learned that this is a Joe Biden proposal, which makes me regret shooting so low. (I am congenitally moderate.) Actually, dismantle capitalism.
