Elon Musk is threatening a thermonuclear lawsuit against our internet watchdog organizations so I’m just gazing at my notes from Yordanos Eyoel’s TED Talk last month

Hi ha vies per combatre a la ultradreta online amb efectes molt reals i potents: les campanyes per tallar el seu finançament funcionen. Ací teniu un bon exemple amb @nandoodles @Catthekin @checkmyads, de qui hem aprés molt per posar en marxa la nostra campanya "No finances l'odi"

Those who follow me on The Bad Place have heard me repeat this a thousand times, but once more won't hurt.

The best defense is to learn how elections actualy work! Becoming a poll worker is a great way to do that

Also, this National Academies study is a terrific resource:

A possible vendor told me excitedly today that they were just like Switzerland in World War 2. They would work with anyone!
