Laying off engineers based on lines of code written is great! I’d be towards a “very definitive fire” side, eg my net contribution to Unity was about negative million LoC ;) x.com/MattOben/status/158861…

So @elonmusk is buying into the "censorship" fable. Well, par for the course for people fallen into the right wing bizarro reality. So his attack on free speech as actually *defending* it. Conservative manipulation campaigns must flow freely for free speech to be achieved.

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.
Community note
Multiple advertisers have confirmed they are pausing spending while they see what direction Elon Musk takes with the platform. "The growing exodus of advertisers comes amid concerns Musk will scale back misinformation and security protections on the platform." theguardian.com/technology/202…

Lovely. Looks like this @elonmusk dude is completely caught up in the right's outrage machine. Fires people combating misinformation, then gets played via cheap smears to repeat misinformation like the rest of the rabble that's being used to destroy free society.

Here it is: Twitter engineers were told today to *print out* their last 30 to 60 days of code, so they could show it to Elon Musk himself. Then they were told wait, no, actually, please shred all that code you just printed out. Subscribe to read ➡️ platformer.news/p/elon-takes…

Gestern mit #scientistrebellion die Straße vor dem bayerischen Justizministerium blockiert, weil wir nur noch 2-3 Jahre Zeit haben um eine vollumfängliche sozial-ökologische Wende zu vollziehen. Zwei einfache erste Schritte hierzu: #Tempolimit 100 auf Autobahnen #9EuroTicket
Back to the streets of Munich. This time in the Karlsplatz (Stachus), in front of the German Ministry of Justice. Parallel to the CSU party conference, we stand with Christian religious figures in civil resistance. #UniteAgainstClimateFailure #HumanRights #Christian

My big takeaway from today's hearing is that everyone and their dog in Washington DC fully knows Trump started a coup almost 2 years ago...and that it's still underway, with most of the GOP gambling on a win in next month's elections to pick up where they left off.

I loved this summary and insights from the public Elon texts
30 Sep 2022
Wrote about the Musk texts. What I found illuminating about the messages is just how unimpressive, unimaginative, and sycophantic the powerful men in Musk’s contacts appear to be. Just overconfident dudes winging it theatlantic.com/technology/a…

20 years ago, talking to a schoolmate, I revealed that I can run 16k in 2 hours. Now, after 20 years of training (and 20 years of aging), I can run 16k in 2 hours, 20 minutes :-( :-( I'm still seeing progress though and one of these years, I will wipe the floor with teenage-me!

Managed an all-sub-8 run over 5k. It wasn't too long ago that I couldn't handle a sub-9 pace. For very short distances (up to 5k or maybe a bit more) I can now dish out a sub-8 pace. Today was the first time I went sub-8 on all segments, including hills :) #running #fitness

Exhibit A - "Frustration" I fought tooth and nail for nearly two and a half hours to do a sub-9 pace 15k. The result? A 9:01 pace :-( #running #fitness

They purchased the Supreme Court, but they have money for a lot more, and they are only getting started:

Let me tell you a story about an ultrasecretive donor, a key architect of the Supreme Court's rightward lurch, and a whole lot of money. $1.6 billion. With a B. We @propublica & @levernews went deep on it. Let's talk about how massive this dark-money deal is. It's 🧵time

That's it. All 3 Vibrams busted (my second toe is making contact with the road, maybe I'm "clawing" on runs). I'm going huaraches now. If I can figure out the ropework, I can tie any random piece of flat garbage to my feet and go for a run!

The terrifying reality of #ClimateBreakdown 1: Death Valley, flooded 2: The Rhine, like rivers across Europe, running dry. Our "leaders" @RishiSunak with tax breaks for big oil & @trussliz funded by climate change denying tax payers alliance - up shit creek without a paddle.

Tell everyone. Undramatic, reserved scientists are 'Exploring catastrophic climate change scenarios'.
If we fail to act, we may see the collapse of civilization in our lifetimes. Last week top scientists called for more research to understand such catastrophic scenarios. We agree, but that won't stop those scenarios from unfolding. Civil resistance might. Join us.
