DOWNLOADABLE DEATH!! Guys it’s DEATH that you can just DOWNLOAD! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES... This is so awesome it’s like reefer madness but with CAD files.
I think if at any point you find yourself trying to stoke a mass panic over some information that is being published somewhere, rethink your life choices.
The OP is crying out for this gif:

The JS community is sadly a hotbed of this kind of project-destroying crusaderism. There's some of this in the Ruby world, as well, but it's not as widespread.
I have no doubt that "here is a list of evil people/companies that are not allowed to use our software" will catch on as a licensing thing. 🙄 I look forward to being formally prohibited from using a wide range of things on firearm-related projects.
In the present culture war, it seems that everything that can be weaponized will be weaponized. The only thing that has yet to be weaponized are literal weapons, but y'know give it a minute. 🤦‍♂️

He’s right but this is only half of it. Other half is they’ll appropriate left’s argument (made re: Russia) that social media manipulation is an attack on democracy, and recast ham-fisted moderation as RU-style attacks that delegitimize election results they don’t like.
This angle will be effective because it’s not entirely wrong, and we’ll all be arguing over the degree to which it’s an exaggeration.
If Trump were gone from office tomorrow, the battle over Russiagate would still be less than half over. We’re going to be fighting over what level of algo-and moderation-driven platform bias casts a cloud over election results for years.

I've come to the conclusion recently that I've not done a good enough job of talking about the 3D printed gun issue. I don't think anyone has really. There are too many smart, open-minded people who are like "yeah but these files are dangerous so how can u not want 2 delete them?
"Ok, so you convinced me that bad people cannot just print guns. Still, this stuff is bad so why should it not get deleted? Why should we not delete dangerous files and content from the 5 computers we all share?"

I've failed to give a good answer to this.
The problem is structural. The case for censoring these files can be summed up quickly & grasped by a five-year-old. The case against censoring them is complicated & requires specific knowledge in multiple domains.

A world which increasingly consists of destinations without journeys in-between them, a world which values only getting somewhere as fast as possible, becomes a world without substance.
One can get anywhere and everywhere and yet the more this is possible the less is anywhere and everywhere worth getting to. To travel is to be alive but to get somewhere is to be dead. To travel well is better than to arrive.
To succeed is to fail, as we mostly get caught in the trap of wanting to always succeed, thus forgetting to live. Grasp nothing, refuse nothing, receive but don't keep anything to yourself...Be a man of value more than a man of success. #Think #ItIsLegal

(1) My Top Ten Aretha Franklin hits.

No politics tonight. Only soul.🕶️🌟

(2) At the age of 10 I was introduced to the Queen of Soul through this scene in the classic 1980 movie The Blues Brothers.

If for some reason you haven't seen this movie, you know what to do.

#Think

(3) Then I found out Aretha Franklin sang R.E.S.P.E.C.T. in 1967. One of her biggest hits.

1. On the subject of DT and his lies, I have to wax philosophical for a moment —literally. Epistemology is the field of philosophy by which we discuss and ascertain truth. Fact from opinion. Agreed upon truth based on shared information and the rules of logic.
2. When @maggieNYT expresses that it’s difficult to accuse DT of lying because he believes his own version of events - we move into a different field of philosophy - Phenomenology - focused on the isolation of consciousness and direct experience and knowledge derived from it.
3. It should be noted that most people have no concept of the field of Phenomenology - which makes it odder that we’re addressing it from the standpoint of #POTUS. Also worth noting that I’m being extraordinarily fair by categorizing pathological lying as phenomenology.

Right twitterverse, work your magic! My fiancée lost her engagement ring which was my mum's ring. Understandably we're both gutted. It could have gone missing at Heathrow, on a BA flight to Singapore or in Singapore itself. Long shot I know but hopefully miracles can happen 🙏🏽
One lead has been exhausted but another potentially promising one has emerged... Fingers crossed and stay tuned folks! #FindÁinesRing
Unfortunately that didn’t pan out either but the search goes on! Thanks for your supportive messages, it really means a lot! I’ve gone for a two-pronged attack with Facebook as well so let’s see if that helps! #FindÁinesRing
