The Klingon narrated board game (Chancellor Martok) as a Ferengi bootleg production in the latest episode of Lower Decks was just sublime.
Kiwifarms has been stalking me, making shit up about me, attempting to dox me for more than half a decade now.
As one of their victims, I'm very happy right now. But the fight is not over. We still have to salt the earth. There is still work left to be done.

I once had a boss who'd joke his criteria for ppl going sick was "if they'd lost a litre of blood".
Always followed by a "pretending-I'm-joking" laugh.
I think of him regularly when politicians talk about reducing isolation times because ppl can "choose" the best action.

See the thing about product marketing is itβs all about positioning.
This post isnβt for the masses. It isnβt for people like you or me.
This is a positioning piece, signalling to violent extremists and abusers that Cloudflare still wants to be the company of choice for them!

Escalating threats and the potential risk for human life has compelled Cloudflare to block Kiwifarms from being accessed through our infrastructure. Complete details can be found in our latest blog post. cfl.re/3xidopV

The other challenge not addressed by this article is: tools like GPT-3 making plausible and dangerously incorrect histories/statements about people, made all the more believable by mixing in factual details.
What do you do when an AI accuses someone of child abuse, for instance?

Loving Season 3 of See.
I'm reminded again that one of the spookiest parts of the show is that Shawn Mullins' "Lullaby" has become a lullaby sung to babies in this dystopian future.
It is exhausting to simply dare to exist as a disabled person in the pandemic. Every day, without fail, everyone from friends to politicians makes it abundantly clear that their maskless holiday or birthday party is worth more than disabled people's lives.

Incitement to imminent lawless action is not protected by the 1st Amendment.
So how come @Cloudflare is happy to host (and don't get me wrong, CDN is hosting, not security) a site who's specialty is inciting imminent lawless action?

Dear , since Steve Price so fetishises the notion of being cancelled, perhaps you might indulge him by cancelling his appearances on your show?

"Tolkien would have hated this." Well yeah, he was a tweedy, pipe-smoking Oxford don born in 1892 and whose passion was translating Anglo-Saxon poetry. There is not one single thing happening in 2022 that wouldn't leave him both baffled and horrified. Who cares?

I've been covering bad parts of the internet for long time now.
For years, there was one site extremist researchers warned me not to cover because publicizing it would be dangerous.
But it's time people know KiwiFarmsβand how they're chasing political enemies around the world.
