I live in Los Angeles, and locals are getting so frustrated with tourists littering these things all over the city that they're beginning to knock them over, throw them in the trash, etc.

It may be immoral to hack them, but it's also immoral to treat our streets and sidewalks like a scooter landfill.

Yup, another classic tactic is a moderator stepping in and doing some variation of "This thread has gone out of control! Locked." This has become very common in Hong Kong threads. I strongly believe that TenCent needs to be rooted out of U.S. tech and media, and fast.

Let's hope Disney takes it on the chin next. Bob Iger's relationships with Xi Jinping and Mohammed Bin Salman are disgusting.

I take psychedelics once or twice a year, and sometimes I just have these weird moments where, for example, I'll look at a door and go "What the hell is that? We all walk through portals every day!" I think they bring out a sense of wonder in the mundane, which can be amazing but also occasionally disconcerting.

The sheer amount of pro-Chinese government moderators on Reddit is absolutely insane. So much dissent being either erased or forced into "megathreads." This is not how we should be reacting to genocide.

Multinational Corporations like Bayer, IBM, and Mercedes-Benz collaborated with the Nazis. This is nothing new. The real question is: What are we gonna do about it?

>This Google doc is an attention-seeker’s manifesto; it is highly inflammatory and uses emotionally provocative language about rights and freedom and doing the right thing, yet it avoids being too specific so that Blizzard cannot win because they cannot discern what response the protesters want.

This reminds me of the critiques of Occupy Wall Street. "It's not specific enough! We don't know what they want." 9 years later and we sure do now. The goal is not to "win" with Blizzard. The goal is public humiliation and economic punishment for those who enable genocide.
