The deeper I get into my Twitter dissertation chapter the stronger my conviction gets that we need to stop entertaining this perfect-Twitter fantasy as if someday the tech geniuses will finally tinker with it long enough that they do indeed produce the automatic rational discourse machine. 1/4

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Since apparently this isn't making it beyond UK news yet, Rockstar petitioned a British court to section an 18 year old autistic kid under the mental health act for hacking their server and leaking a short GTA 6 clip a couple of years ago. No trial, no term of sentence, just locked up in hospital.

Locking up an autistic kid in a mental hospital for life for leaking a clip of a game is bullshit. Guess I'm never playing a Rockstar game again.

Patreon & YouTube supporters: I’ve had to delay this month’s bonus content. I came down with some nasty tonsillitis the other week so my ability to record VO kinda got torpedoed. Mostly recovered now but it’s messed the schedule up a bit! (So - one bonus vid next month, then another in August)
