How many of the people currently complaining about Apple fucking with their zaps would happily accept speech restrictions so long as they can continue to make a pittance in sats for posting "gm pv"?

My guess is far too many.

Lol, I like the way they phrase this so as to suggest the mic isn't already on - the cops just want access to the stream.

I don't know when all this bullshit about dinosaurs having feathers started but I can't help but think it HAS to have something to do with the trans agenda.

Are people seriously going to flip about app stores banning Damus over zaps? Motherfucker, they've been banning free speech apps for YEARS at this point.

My son just watched a recent Mr Beast video son I had to explain why it was that a grown man would pretend to be a woman. I said it was because he played too many video games.

It's been a long time since I read it, but the argument which I found compelling was that by its very nature technology disempowers the individual and will inevitably become mediator between man and his environment, estranging him from a direct experience of life and the satisfaction which comes from exerting his own power. Consequently industrial society can only lead to misery and enslavement by machines.

It's a compelling read because it's a critique of technology from a Nietzschean standpoint and not hippy bullshit. Also, while his conclusions are sometimes disturbing, they're not easily dismissed and seem more and more prescient with each passing year.

Ted probably would've done better to target infrastructure rather than human beings but it's interesting that at least a couple of his targets had ties to the Epstein network.

Below you'll find an interesting documentary on Ted. It's less of a true crime account than a philosophical investigation into his motives and those of the people he targeted.

Why did it have to be Ted who died? Why not Zerzan or Derrick Jensen.

My copy of Industrial Society And It's Future, which dates from that brief period between its initial publication and Uncle Ted's arrest a few months later. This has to be some sort of collector's item.

Sorry, it's no help, I know but I don't remember any books sounding particularly good when I was looking into it.

Imagine what goth culture could've been like if Poe had stuck with his first impulse and made it a parrot instead of a raven.

Spent far too long hate-reading reviews of Harry Potter books on Goodreads. This is fairly typical of the five star ones.

I downloaded a few recently but I haven't read any of them yet. Sorry.

Yeah I'd avoid, particularly if you haven't read a bunch of books on serial killers before. He takes serious liberties with the facts.
