If I boost something, it’s not always because I agree with it. Sometimes it’s because I find it thought-provoking even though I don’t agree with some or even all of it, and sometimes it’s because I think others will find it useful or interesting.

This is not macrophotography. This is a scale model of a wood ant (Formica lugubris) made by Julia Stoess. It is 100cm long and I want to spend the rest of my life looking at it.

If only it could have little motors in it so it could walk around... and do things....

Rebecca Crosby and Judd Legum offer a list of 50 prominent corporations that have donated $23,273,400 to campaigns and PACs of election deniers since January 6, 2021. "Some of the largest contributors to election deniers are also some of the country's leading companies, including AT&T, Comcast, Walmart, and Microsoft."

@wdlindsy It includes all three major US mobile carriers, but AT&T is by far the worst

@wdlindsy And it looks like that’s not the only reason to avoid using AT&T: https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/03/30/if-you-have-an-iphone-with-att-your-info-has-probably-been-stolen

Just finished listening to @pluralistic reading his book The Internet Con. it’s very good. Should be mandatory reading in school and higher education.

And now ai really want the tech industry to take a 10 year sabbatical.

Or just f***k right off.
