One of the reasons why Tucker knows Epstein was murdered is because his "friend" was one of the last people to speak to him.

So who else is Tucker friends with?

Normies engaging with social media has been even more destructive than them getting into drugs and tattoos. Some things should remain marginalised.

You have to show your FBI badge to get in.

I think the chances of widespread adoption of Nostr are about as slim as the possibility of Linux taking off with normies. Although there's a genuine need for it, I suspect it'll always be a niche thing.

Just in case you need any more evidence that Tim McVeigh was a government agent, the dude was a "member" of the KKK.

Not necessarily shitlibs, though there's definitely a few. I just don't get the impression many of them realise what's at stake and I don't trust them not to build content moderation tools into their clients which will ultimately prove to be oppressive. Like I said though, the free speech absolutists will turn up soon enough.

The Fediverse is a more resilient model but your account is still linked to a particular instance and they do get taken down. Nostr is the next logical step and even if I'm not all that convinced many of the developers currently at work on the protocol have much commitment to free speech, the code is there and sooner or later those who value freedom of expression will need to use it.

It's still running. They lost a lot of users about a year or two ago due to some controversy about where the donors' money was being spent but they get fresh waves of new users coming in every time Twatter does a purge. I've had an account there since early 2017 but I rarely check in these days.

Apparently Gab is down. Not sure why exactly but, whatever the reason, it's another reminder that centralised social media is dead in the water.

When viewed in the context of all the other shit they've been rolling out, it's absolutely terrifying.

It can't rotate an object in its mind while wondering how it might feel if it hadn't had breakfast this morning.

I love how they've suddenly pivoted from "those manufacturing jobs aren't coming back" to "we need to build a new industrial economy."

The whole album has a very "Berlin School" feel, but Riechmann was from Dusseldorf and had worked previously with members of Kraftwerk and Neu! which just goes to show that such distinctions are largely ad hoc and kind of meaningless.

The senseless murder of Wolfgang Riechmann is one of the great tragedies of electronic music. His only album "Wunderbar" (released within weeks of his death, I think) is so staggeringly good you can't help but wonder what he might have achieved if only he'd lived.
