Another day, another sham GOP hearing to run interference for Donald Trump. We should be focusing on policy, substance, and saving lives in our communities. As I said during the hearing—our country deserves better than this GOP clown show.

Rewatching OG Star Wars. Um. Good god. @disney can we please have access to the original version without George Lucas’s slimy (musical and “aesthetic”) edits. The new Ewok song is actually ruining what is left my childhood. Thanks.

Academics, how do you keep track of paper research? Three hole punch? Folders? Or are you just disciplined about being all digital somehow? What’s your system?

I’m working on a project that will be a mix of sources, printed documents, digital, old newspapers, and some things from museums I obviously can’t annotate and I’m already unsure how to proceed.

Exactly! The stakes are high. This, again, is why the mass surveillance provisions in the UK's Online Safety Bill must be amended. There is no such thing as a safe backdoor: if the 'good guys' can get in, so can hackers, hostile states, and those wishing to do harm.

"No way to create a backdoor that only the good guys can walk through." Signal President Meredith Whittaker says the Online Safety Bill will cause "unprecedented paradigm-shifting surveillance" - in a discussion with @cathynewman and former UK Tech minister Damian Collins.

The energy of the #tiktokban so far seems to be that we should trust congress to protect us from foreign tech when they have proven they can't protect us from domestic tech.

Really don't like the new Setting App on MacOS. Feels like it is worse in every way.

Sometimes I enjoy trolling trolls. I made a video about reparations and this was the comment.

Though I did learn from @ContraPoints the value of humor in diffusing trolls. So it isn't fully troll trolling.

@brianchristian and @HenryHolt I have exactly zero pull on twitter, but IG and TT just crossed ∑100k views together. Hope it leads to some sales for you. Thanks for all the work you do.

Printing out the pdf of the AP African American studies course that was banned in Florida's so you can talk about it on social media.

Also since no one is saying it, no you don’t need to watch any of the other episodes of #TheLastOfUsHBO to watch #TheLastOfUsEp3 with #NickOfferman and #MurrayBartlett - there aren’t even any real zombie scenes. It’s a self-contained masterpiece.
