this guy has been in my comments with transphobic nonsense and listen, while I generally try to avoid commenting on other peoples' appearances, if I looked like this, I would completely avoid commenting on other peoples' appearances

over the last decade I’ve observed leftists in the US turn against free expression as a value and mock defenders of the 1st amendment as inherently “libertarian.” I wondered if they preferred something more like the UK model; which just allowed JK Rowling to bully Amnesty into deleting a report

This sucks. Capitulating to bigots never makes them stop

Sometimes I wonder if “progressive” people who think we should censor the internet remember that it was like before we had it? I’m old enough to have organized protests that were spun and dismissed in the next morning’s paper, and we had no recourse as organizers to get our message out.

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

Over and over the cycle repeats: Bad tech do bad thing Politicians: make bad tech not to bad thing? Companies: no bad thing make money Politicians: ah okay keep doing bad thing just add more spy

Here’s a little clip of my band playing “Bunker” at NICE, A Fest 🎥 Kayla Avitabile

Hard to believe this was 10 years ago today. The kick off show for the Rock Against the TPP tour @fightforthefuture.org organized with Tom Morello and a ton of other awesome artists opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Huge learning experience for me, one of the harder things I’ve done

absolutely obsessed with these photos of my band from NICE, A Fest taken by Brittany Rose Queen 😍

here's a little ditty about data centers in space

i'm normally unimpressed by tech company's "how do you do fellow kids" marketing stunts but tbh this is a baller move

Funny how the “protect the kids” crowd never seem focused on stuff like this

The UK already has some of the worst age verification / bad internet laws of any democracy, and they’re going terribly, so it’s great to see he’s reading debunked Jonathan Haidt’s moral panic kick the kids offline book 👍

AI surveillance at concerts doesn't seem as scary as, say, use by law enforcement. but here's the thing everyone needs to understand: government surveillance is built on top of corporate surveillance. If we allow facial recognition to creep into private spaces, it can and will be used for fascism

Opinion | Taylor Swift was able to buy her privacy at MSG. What about the rest of us?Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.www.ms.now
