DZ: poopy poo

Poopgate seems like a fitting scandal, but also kind of a nothingburger.

Yet this solution, too, was short-lived after a Secret Service supervisor from the Trump/Kushner detail left an unpleasant mess in the Obama bathroom at some point before the fall of 2017, according to a person briefed on the event. That prompted the leaders of the Obama detail to ban the agents up the street from ever returning.

Real talk: Sounds like they may have been justified in not wanting these people using their poop station.

Pretty good article on how people think covid spreads. And government messaging.

Out of curiosity, what exchange do people use for day trading Bitcoin or ethereum? Most places seem to have crazy spreads and fees. You'd get completely chewed up without massive price moves.

Bad news for the rail fans. (I do find it hard to believe septa has many rail fans, but it'd be a really weird codename for an antifa group.)

A SEPTA railfan Telegram channel was put on a list of alleged “antifa” chatrooms that’s been circulating among the far-right (maybe because “SEPTA” is a scary sounding acronym?) Anyway they’ve spent a day banning dozens of trolls who refuse to believe they just love SEPTA

Oh, look, it's bigly class action time. Parler users sue Amazon. One claim is that AWS somehow violated the TOS between parler and users, which is pretty novel. Plus all of this:

Defendant AWS’s intentional conduct, in fact, caused Plaintiffs to suffer highly unpleasant mental reactions, outrage, anger, frustration, shame, humiliation, chagrin, disappointment, worry, inconvenience, and/or severe emotional distress.

Some conferences suffer from this more than others. In my experience, CCC was the absolute worst.

Next time I'm moderating a Q&A, I'm going to ask each person who approaches the mic "For what purpose does the person at the microphone rise?" and then insist that they start by saying "I rise to ask a question, which will be stated succinctly and in the form of a question".

Here's a sentence I wasn't expecting. I don't post a lot of SwimSwam links because there's not usually much overlap with my other interests.

Do apologies come with implied warranties? Like somebody says they're sorry, then a year later says actually they weren't sorry. Can you get a refund or a new apology?

I regret to inform you that the pro se lawsuits against Twitter for banning Trump have begun. Twitter (and co-defendant AOC, because of course) is damaging plaintiff's mental wellbeing.

@ddale8: So I spoke to Ben Costiloe, tweeter of the inaccurate mega-viral impeachment tweet, to tell him it was wrong and that I'd be doing a fact check. He said good-naturedly: "Tear it a new one. Go for it, baby!" He said he's just a "nobody" dude who saw the info on his FB feed. 1/

@ddale8: Costiloe said he never knew if the info he tweeted was true - it just showed up on his Facebook and "made me feel good," and he thought he'd share. He said, "I don't want to mess up the world. I just wanted to make me feel good. It turns out it made a lot of people feel good." 2/

@ddale8: Costiloe said he had just 200 followers at the time he tweeted (now more than 2,700); he's just a guy living with diabetes in Texas. He said he was amazed at how viral the tweet went given his low following: 181,000 retweets and counting. 3/

@ddale8: When I asked if he'd delete the tweet now that he knows it had a bunch of inaccuracies, he said, "I'm too stupid to know how to fix this." So...that is the story of how bad info got seen by millions of people in 2021. The end.

In yet another blow to free speech (what a week, right?) scotus has decided you don't have a guaranteed right to upload piss videos to facebook.

Today in PDX tax dollars at work. I asked for metadata (dates and phone numbers) from the City of Portland related to text messages on government phones. It resulted in the City suing me. Now they want me to turn over all my Signal messages related to police violence.
