Prediction: Within three years, a large chunk of social media traffic will be carried by decentralized networks over which Big Tech exercises no control.

They will have to play by the rules of such networks or be left in the dust.
I’m consulting with a new nonprofit that is developing the tech and standards for this sort of network—a great developer decided to take up a donor’s offer to develop this idea:

This is from last year. (I lost ~35 pounds since then, so. :-) )

Also from last year, posted shortly before the big #SocialMediaStrike.

Did you know that I got @Jack to commit to decentralizing Twitter? I did. See our exchange from last year. I’m still waiting with bated breath.

Jack was responding to questions I asked during a SXSW speech, which appeared in article form in Wired:

The whole social media decentralization thing all began, for me at least, with this post.

D.C. Antifa/BLM violence thread. Just things that popped up in my feed this evening. Horrifying.

I stayed at the Willard Hotel last year. Livestream:

How many Democrats and Never-Trumpers are on this EIGCC?

No, not from the top of the DHS. Curious who’s on this Council. See tweets below if you want to research.

National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) President Maggie Toulouse Oliver, National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) President Lori Augino, and Escambia County (Florida) Supervisor of Elections David Stafford –

One of the nice things about this area of Ohio is all the scenic covered bridges and old canal locks. Lockville Park, Lockville, Ohio.

Interspersed with a (much older) video of someone explaining voting software to Howard Dean (yeeeeah, him!), here is what seems to be a vidcap of CNN, in which 19,958 MI votes appear to switch from Trump to Biden:



Comparison pix (h/t @StathamsTwin):
Many others caught this: mobile.twitter.com/search?q=%2219…
So what do you take of the Snopes-reported CNN response?—“this video showed a brief moment when the results were incorrectly transposed from the NEP and that this human error was caught, flagged, and quickly fixed (as shown in the video).”

That’s one explanation indeed.

Judge Jeanine update:
- NewsMax claimed Jeanine Pirro was canceled: newsmax.com/newsfront/jean…
- Mediaite said a Fox spokesman told them there was "no dispute, Pirro...will be back next week". So...no cancellation?
mediaite.com/tv/cnns-stelte…
- Odd that Fox isn't noisier in their denunciation of this supposedly baseless rumor.
- Pirro tweeted on Nov. 7 (when she would have been on, but wasn't) that she has a presence on Cameo.com/judgejeanine
- She doesn't correct any rumors in her feed or on Cameo (that I found).
You would think Fox *would* go out of their way to correct the rumor, if it really is false, considering how many JJ fans are up in arms. But they just make one quiet statement that is buried at the end of a Mediate blog post? Curiouser and curiouser!

Central Ohioans, join me in congralating Rep. @SteveStivers on his victory.

I have a serious topic. Now is the time to get some real political courage and stand up for President Trump in his effort to expose fraud and to have a *fair* count of the presidential election.
I haven't found any statements by you about the presidential election controversy that has been unfolding in recent days. But there is an amazing amount of evidence, which is being assembled in court cases, of election fraud this time.
If you want me (and others) to feel comfortable supporting you in the future, you should step up and add an important voice of support. As I see it, you're supporting democracy, not just the president.

BTW I'm co-founder of Wikipedia and I live in your district.
