write in Kamala for some position other than pres, then you can say you voted for her and it wouldn’t be a lie

The history of the UkraineTakeShelter website he built is quite a rabbit hole.

• How a well-meaning tech solution for Ukraine almost became a ‘Craigslist for pedophiles’
• A Website Resettling Ukrainian Refugees Got Adoring Headlines. Experts Say It Was Too Good to Be True.

While the American media gushed over UkraineTakeShelter, local activists on the ground in Poland and experts involved in privacy and humanitarian tech looked at the site with concern, outrage, and horror. Here was a site that had made headlines around the world — appearing in overwhelmingly positive stories on CNN, The TODAY Show, and ABC, among many others — but that didn’t verify hosts’ identities until March 21, nearly three weeks after it had gone live, a decision experts said put refugees that used the site at risk for human trafficking. In addition, the lax security measures have also exposed the private data of the hosts opening their homes to refugees, allowing anyone to see information including hosts’ phone numbers and email addresses with a few clicks.

“Look, I definitely agree I should have had a better verification system in place at the start,” he says. “But the way I see it is, it’s better late than never to add these features.”

rfk is polling high enough and is on the ballot in enough states now that he meets the eligibility criteria for the next debate

kamala should announce that she’ll debate rfk if trump doesn’t show up, i bet trump would change his mind and join in then

Trump also appeared to forget that he was no longer in charge of foreign policy, leaving one interview early to “deal with” a conflict in Afghanistan.

“He [Trump] also seemed to think that he still had some foreign policy powers,” he noted. “There was one day where he told me he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan, even though he clearly didn’t,” he said, adding that Trump actually called the nation “the Afghanistan.”

lol at the image of trump saying “i have to go deal with the afghanistan” whenever he has to leave an interview to take a shit.

In a characteristically bizarre interview with Mike Solana of Founders Fund, Dorsey had plenty of criticism for Bluesky.

In the interview, Dorsey claimed that Bluesky was “literally repeating all the mistakes” he made while running Twitter. The entire conversation is long and a bit rambly, but Dorsey’s complaints seem to boil down to two issues:

1. He never intended Bluesky to be an independent company with its own board and stock and other vestiges of a corporate entity (Bluesky spun out of Twitter as a public benefit corporation in 2022.) Instead, his plan was for Twitter to be the first client to take advantage of the open source protocol Bluesky created.
2. The fact that Blueksy has some form of content moderation and has occasionally banned users for things like using racial slurs in their usernames.

Dorsey also confirmed that he is financially backing Nostr, another decentralized Twitter-like service popular among some crypto enthusiasts and run by an anonymous founder. “I know it’s early, and Nostr is weird and hard to use, but if you truly believe in censorship resistance and free speech, you have to use the technologies that actually enable that, and defend your rights,” Dorsey said.

i guess his yeerk couldn’t get to the kandrona pools

there’s the “DSA National Tech Committee” - https://tech.dsausa.org/

They should block all US users and on the block page have an ad for a VPN service.

funniest outcome is RFK gets over 50% of the popular vote, wins at least a few states, but no candidate gets the 270 electoral points needed to win. then the house picks the president and senate picks VP.

I want a sports bar but for cartoons. All the TVs are set to Simpsons., Futurama, or Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

And yes, there are District establishments laying out the welcome mat in time for Mueller’s first appearance. Shaw’s Tavern (520 Florida Ave NW) is opening at 8 a.m. All of the restaurant’s televisions will be playing the Mueller hearing with full sound, the Facebook event promises, and there’ll be breakfast and lunch specials available. Shaw’s Tavern will start slinging alcoholic beverages at 11 a.m., which is the earliest that the venue can legally do so.

During its “Mueller Time Watch Party,” Duffy’s Irish Pub (1016 H Street NE) is offering eight flat screen televisions hooked up to a stadium sound system to watch the notoriously tight-lipped Mueller speak to Congress, alongside a full menu and drink specials. The times for the event are not yet finalized on the Facebook event page, but Duffy’s says that “creative attire encouraged.” Considering that Mueller isn’t exactly known for donning inventive clothes, it will be interesting to see how attendees interpret that prompt.

Union Pub (201 Massachusetts Ave NE), which offered patrons free drinks whenever President Donald Trump tweeted during former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony in 2017, is getting in on the Mueller action, too. Starting at 9 a.m., the earliest it can open according to its operating license, the bar will have full bar and kitchen service available. Union Pub promises a slew of drink specials alongside its broadcasting of the Mueller hearing with full sound on all TVs: $6 “Moscow Muellers,” $4 select rye whiskeys, $13 Budweiser/Bud Light buckets, and more.
