Yep. Like those conspiracy nuts who were afraid that the COVID shot was injecting trackers into them for the government to know their location... which they complained about... from their GPS-enabled cell phone that they keep in their pockets at all time...

Yep, this guy is an absolute twat.
I have no idea how much of an asshole his old man was (clearly not enough of a racist homophobe to refuse to work with director Waris Hussein), but we do know he wasn’t a particularly good writer... or at least wasn’t a great fit for Doctor Who, since his script for Tribe of Gum requi…

I started watching Dr Who about 1980 and have been a fan since. But holy cow, looking back at the older re-runs of that original series from early 80's is weird. so cheap and campy compared to the new ones.  Just makes one realize how things change over a generation.

His timeline is so gross.  Check out the post where he mentions his estranged son dying and blames it on the vaccine.  The tone is very I-told-you-so.

I took a look at his twitter, the man is an antivaxer, racist and transphobe. He also seems to be into those “new world order” conspiracies.

I’m a little suspect of the “someone in the government says”. I think what they might mean is ‘it’s too secure... use something else we can access. ‘

This rumor-based campaign is SUS...

Cool. I can’t recall ever even hearing of flagellate dermatitis and I’ve given more bleomycin than most people.

The portion that you quote isn’t an answer to the question, though.

Vermont has about the same homelessness as California, but maybe it’s not as fun to insult Vermont. The stories people tell are warped... more for clout or attention or political gain than anything to do with data or reality.

I live in the bay area. I’ve seen some in certain areas in SF, but it’s nothing like what is reported on Fox or OAN. Also it’s pretty easy to look past it when you see all the other amazing and naturally beautiful places CA has to offer, from San Diego to Eureka! 

I’ve literally never seen feces on the sidewalk in Southern California, much to the disappointment of my OAN- and Fox News-loving friends from high school and college.

If it works as well as the Do Not Call laws then it should cut the number of people selling your data by at least a third.

The Delete Act will create a system where you can make one single request that forces the entire data broker industry to delete the details they harvest from your life.

So much onus has been put on consumers for decades from recycling to deleting our data and it's been detrimental across the board. Corporate law needs a complete overhaul to put responsibility back on them. 

Gizmodo may be in a steep decline since its early iPhone days, but the shills have never left.

We used to have role models, but now we have “influencers”. The difference appears to involve whether they choose to take any responsibility for the consequences of their actions upon the lives of others. Example? An “influencer” might convince someone that it’s a good idea to jump off of a cliff. A role model would…

The number of people supporting big oil on this thread is unnatural. People are getting paid.

We can’t wait until a perfect technology presents itself - we need the emission reductions that transitioning to electric cars will provide desperately and ASAP.

Same logic as if your gas car runs out of fuel. Day to day is no issue, only concern is for long haul trips, which is the only time I need to plan ahead for gas too.
