Scripting News: Wednesday, March 5, 2025

We need a new kind of social network designed to run an effective response to fascism. So far all we have are profit centers for billionaires and would-be billionaires.#
When I ask a personal question on one of the AI bots, all of a sudden on Facebook I'm getting ads about what I asked about. It could be a coincidence, but it's happened a few times, on more than one system. And I'm a paying customer on all of them. #
People who criticize Dems for weak opposition at the SOTU are not hypocrites only if they said before the event what they would do. I was glad not to have to choose. I think in the end they did what made sense to each one individually. The range of response by the Dems was much broader than the Repubs. We should be thankful they haven't capitulated, as so many have, esp in what we used to think of as journalism.#
One thing to be grateful for, Trump didn't invite any of the Jan 6 rioters back to the Capitol for his speech.#
Watch out for people who celebrate your freedom while profiting from your enslavement.#

You may think the Dems looked weak with their signs last night, but I think at least they were representing their voters' interests, unlike the Repubs. If I were there I would have held a sign too. Too much Monday Morning Quarterbacking. They did something — that's a start. reuters.com

The format is very similar to Clean Components Toolkit: Pattern overview — an in-depth explanation of the pattern, including edge cases, variations, and common pitfalls. Real-world example — an example using the pattern that goes beyond toy demos that don't really show you much.

And btw in Russia, the non-government-owned news people had to leave, to go into exile. The journalists are playing with fire not just for us, but for themselves too. It's not ridiculous to ring the bells really loud about this because we've already lived through this nightmare once. # Surely there must be people inside the NYT that find this as exhausting as we do. How can we set up a receptacle for leaks from inside the NYT and WP so we can get the truth about who's selling us out to Trump and Putin inside those supposedly great public-serving news orgs? # I don't like Twitter/X -- it's stupid, it already had a perfectly good name. It is what it is. I use Twitter, I don't imagine stopping, certainly not as some kind of demonstration. But it isn't X or Twitter/X. It's just stupid old fucke...
