Incredible, the person who made several bad ai generated videos to try to claim Palestinians are fake is Google's ethics guy for making sure ai does not get abused www.linkedin.com/in/andreas-s...

I also feel, by the by, like "privacy engineer at Google" is the wrong job to have if you run a successful anonymous political shit talk account on the side but fail to be successfully anonymous. Can you sense someone who has been rapidly compounding his Ls? Eager for the next writhe.

Also happens to be the name of a privacy engineer at Google, a company the person running the account claims to work for, in privacy.

If you baselessly accuse someone of fraud under a pseudonym and then keep doubling down while also saying shit like “i don’t want a claim i can’t prove connected to my name” to journalists, guess what, people are going to be motivated to find your name.

In this case it literally took seconds to get to a name, and then another couple of minutes to find several clear connections between the account and a specific person with that name.

And of course the app is so glitchy @lexialex.bsky.social can't even appeal her suspension readily. Will be interesting to see whether Team Bluesky prioritizes fixing this bug.
Screenshot of @3AlexMirai (Lexi Alexander)'s xeet from about 4 hours ago, "No. I just see this when I try to sign in but it disappears in less than a second so I can't click on appeal" with an embedded screenshot of: an app screen with the Bluesky logo, the heading "Your account has been suspended", the main text "Your account was found to be in violation of the Bluesky Social Terms of Service. You have been sent an email outlining the specific violation and suspension period, if applicable. You can appeal this decision if you believe it was made in error.", and two buttons, "Sign Out" and "Appeal Suspension", below it.

Basically if you want to find someone who prematurely praised Bill Kristol over the last few months just ask yourself: "Who is a liberal who seems to disproportionately hate the American left and who seems indifferent at best about the Middle East?"

Bluesky is getting to the point that it's useful to me in the way Twitter was useful: figuring out which journalists and authors you can ignore without missing anything important.
Daniel Knowles posts:

I am being radicalised to the right by pro-Zohran Mamdani content on this website.

It's not even that I have that strong opinions on who should win. Obviously I think Cuomo is also a terrible candidate. It is just that, I saw the Chicago/Brandon Johnson version of this before it hit Broadway
‪
The plot goes like this: the favourite is a totally inappropriate candidate from the Democratic right. A charismatic young politician appears from nowhere and becomes the receptacle of all hopes of the liberal left. His bad ideas are ignored, for unity. Then he wins, and as mayor is a total disaster

I'm sick and tired of trying to explain to people why universal programs are better, it's your turn now. Why is means testing better? "Because rich people will take advantage of the free services" they'll be paying higher taxes to make those services universal, let 'em What else you got?

1. "Nonprofit industrial complex" sounds the same as when cons say teachers are an oppressive ruling elite class. Nonprofits save communities and lives. 2. Trans youth gender-affirming care is life-saving, not solely, but including because many will take their own lives. Go step on a LEGO
