my Moderna dose 2 data point: one night of really bad chills followed by feeling just sick enough to let myself play Thief 3 all day
worst part of the vaccine is that i got to the spooky mission and didn’t bring nearly enough fire arrows
finished the spooky mission, used flashbombs instead of fire arrows, vaccines are okay now
I’m putting out an open call for former Ion Storm devs to explain why Thief 3’s main font is Papyrus. *Somebody* has to remember this.

Day 2 of livetweeting the Apple/Epic trial starts in 15 minutes. Expecting more cross-examination of Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, plus witnesses from Nvidia and Xbox, and god willing better audio. Coverage of yesterday below: theverge.com/2021/5/3/22417…
Court has just come into session. There’s some “sensitivity” over info from that was supposed to be sealed but was accidentally released online yesterday. Judge says there’s no point in re-sealing the documents if they’ve leaked.
Now we’re calling Epic CEO Tim Sweeney back to the stand for cross-examination by Apple. Kicking off with questions about Epic’s analytics.

a treat of a piece from @mslopatto as we get ready for Apple/Epic to kick off today! we’re expecting early testimony from Epic CEO Tim Sweeney. theverge.com/2021/5/3/22412…
I’m on the press line for the Apple/Epic call, being regaled with a jaunty 30-second synthpop loop. We’re expecting to start in the next half-hour.
Alright, clerk is testing the line! Court is not in session yet. It sounds like they’re having a little confusion over the conference calling system.

I’d been giving HBO’s QAnon documentary the benefit of the doubt, despite some valid criticism of the trailer. Having spent my weekend watching it, I am now just baffled anyone would greenlight it as a six-hour series. theverge.com/22330129/hbo-q…
There’s plenty for disinfo researchers to criticize here, but my main issue is that I think this series actually physically sapped my life force. Like I’m not trying to dunk on this thing to be clever, I am legitimately mad I had to sit through it.
Into the Storm is two hours longer than the Snyder Cut and it’s largely YouTubers and 8channers complaining about each other and their media coverage while cooking dinner and showing off $5,000 watches.

This is a good point. I’m just defining “real” as “a thing that is factually related to Section 230.” I’m grasping at straws here.
The *other* reason that “otherwise objectionable” matters is that Republican lawmakers/Trump regulators have been trying to export the (c)(2)(A) preconditions into (c)(1), so any changes they make there are sort of a trojan horse for the entire law.
To be clear, most of the stuff the Trump administration wants to do is very legally questionable, so we’re sort of speaking in hypotheticals.

Are you in the right headspace to receive information that could possibly hurt you? Then check out the Senate livestream for our latest Section 230 nightmare hearing! commerce.senate.gov/2020/10/does-s…
The big prospect from this hearing, as explained by @mmasnick: Facebook throwing its weight behind one of the proposals to change Section 230. techdirt.com/articles/20201…
Roger Wicker nods to the (largely illusory) bipartisan anti-230 consensus. “There is strong agreement from both sides of the aisle that hearing from these witnesses is important.” The witnesses are Google’s Sundar Pichai, Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg.

Love Jack Dorsey tastefully reminding Congress that Twitter is like nine times smaller than the “Big Tech” companies he’s constantly getting dragged into hearings with. "As you consider next steps, we urge your thoughtfulnes
Congress: We must rein in the digital ad behemoths! And the companies that control our phones! And a massive retailer with a drone division!

Oh and also that website where everybody posts their hot takes and apology screenshots, get that one in there too.
Twitter punches way above its weight in media influence — it’s a de facto wire service for lots of journalists and public figures. But as an actual digital platform, it’s *way* smaller than Facebook/Google, without any of those companies’ non-social-media divisions.
