Irish Israeli France vs Morocco That Marriage Act Biden Told The Truth That Time What Republicans Won’t Do, But Ought to They’re Actievly Trying to Kill us Leaving Twitter (Because I’m Oblivious, For the Children) Doxxing*** Elon’s Plane? MTG (Would have won!)
Re NY Post headlines: the Daily News has always been a step behind the Post even it comes to memorable front page headlines, but when a story emerged about the young Beatles' group self-pleasure sessions, they must have thought their headline "COME TOGETHER" couldn't be topped.
Kmele is right about the doxxing argument. I’d bet the vast majority of doxxing cases involve divulging public information. If someone went to town hall and found the address of a trans activist through tax records and then published it on Twitter, I think we could all agree that is doxxing even though the information was public. That sort of thing serves no purpose other than real-life harassment and I don’t blame Elon for not wanting it on his platform. I understand that it’s a bad look that it wasn’t a rule until it affected his family, but I think it’s a valid rule regardless. I just hope he applies the rule evenly.
Oh God, the fusion 'breakthrough'. I feel very confident in saying no one hosting this podcast is going to see energy produced by fusion (excepting the sun, of course) on the grid in their lifetimes. The scientists involved in the experiment should be applauded, but to say that what they achieved is anywhere close to scalable is hilarious. The fact that the administration trotted out noted dipshit Jennifer Granholm to make the announcement makes it even more amusing to my mind.
I'll have you know that Cleveland is the Jerusalem of the Irish (or at least the ones from the far west coast, who apparently moved there en masse in the early 1900s...), and soon the Boston Irish will go on a people's crusade, rampaging across the tri-state area and the wilds of Pennsylvania to the holy lack of mountains that is Ohio.
“Elon uses the FAA PIA privacy program for a private plane ID. When using a PIA address, the owner is anon and private, not public. Sweeney’s workaround is (likely) to spot a (rare) ICAO plane resembling Musk’s & noting the private code.”
The attempted attack of a vehicle where Elon’s child was and the posting of flight data by the Twitter account ElonJet were both over 24 hours apart. I have difficulties calling what this Twitter account did and their ban as partaking in doxxing as the cause and effect. I think we should respect people’s privacy and I agree that Elon can define terms of service in whatever way he wants. He’s definitely not the free speech absolutist he makes himself out to be and what a shame that is with all these right wingers he’s sucking off lately! Absolute moron if you ask me!
Bummed to hear about the layoff Moynihan, but now you can finally become the JP Morgan of Crypto
Sorry to hear Moynihan's news, wishing him (and everybody) the best for 2023. Happy to make my contribution to the Bacon Egg & Cheese Fund, at least.
Gilly and Keeves bit. All skits are a must watch, call out to Trump Speed Dating also.

The Post's front page read "BEAT THE MEATLES."

Moynihan, the teaching profession will always have you! Before you discount it, consider:
1. Summers off
2. Summers off
3. 75% of US teachers are female. And they looooove when single men are in the building.
4. Summers off
Your History prowess would be invaluable to the profession. We need it. And the kids would absolutely love you. Just think about it. :)
So many homeless people in Manhattan and at least one or two are wildly swinging some random object. And who knows who’s sleeping and who’s dead.
Also! Latest Eli Lake podcast about Hanukkah is hilarious https://nebulouspodcasts.com/shows/reeducation-eli-lake/episodes/ep.-57:-return-of-the-maccabees
Never knew about Hitch’s amazing takedown of Hanukkah from 2007 (Eli mentions) https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2007/12/hanukkah-celebrates-the-triumph-of-tribal-jewish-backwardness.html

This is the podcast MM was talking about. https://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/601968934/invisibilia-for-april-13-2018
Woohoo new podcast Happy Friday!
Interesting:

Jumped in and accidentally put it on 1.25 speed without realizing and for a bit I was like "Damn, Moynihan really is back on Cocaine"
Happy Hanukkah in advance to all who celebrate!

I think the new Twitter policy is okay (if overly broad), but take great issue with the following:
* Bans were applied retroactively and permanently
* It uses an expansive definition of doxxing
* It was hastily drafted and targeted specifically to the account(s) that Elon had a beef with
* Linking to it these sites in the context of reporting is certainly not doxxing even if it's against the hastily updated TOS
* Linking to the code repository used to generate this tracking certainly does NOT violate the policy
* Linking to any Mastodon instance has been blocked
* He explicitly said that the account would stay in the past
* He explicitly said that he was a "free speech absolutist"in the past
* He makes poorly constructed arguments about immediate dangers which he (and y'all) would reject in most any other context
