@ClimateTechFin @KetanJ0 Tesla is a grift whose profitability depends on mining bitcoin and selling carbon credits to the world's most polluting SUV manufacturers. It's run by a con artist who literally paid the company's founders to call him the founder.
@ClimateTechFin @KetanJ0 It maims workers, busts unions, and tells farcical lies about self-driving cars and spins even more farcical fantasies that cars - not transit - are the future of urban mobility. Musk claims that transit is bad "because you might sit next to a serial killer."
@ClimateTechFin @KetanJ0 Just as Musk has claimed that he can deliver more bandwidth than the universe has available radio frequency spectrum, he's also claimed that he can nullify the laws of geometry that dictate that private vehicles can't be the default means of transport in livable cities

When the #PegasusProject dropped last week, it was both an ordinary and exceptional moment. The report - from @Amnesty, @CitizenLab, @FbdnStories, and 80 journalists in 10 countries - documented 50,000 uses of @NSOgroup's Pegasus malware.

The 50,000 targets of NSO's cyberweapon include politicians, activists and journalists. The Israeli arms-dealer - controlled by Novalpina Capital and Francisco Partners - has gone into full spin mode.

2/
NSO insists that the report is wrong, but also that it's fine to spy on people, and also that terrorists will murder us all if they aren't allowed to reap vast fortunes by helping the world's most brutal dictators figure out whom to kidnap, imprison and murder.

I've known @mrgavinedwards for decades, and watched him produce a string of weird and imaginative and wholly successful projects, from his books of "mondegreens" (misheard lyrics) to his definitive biography of Mr Rogers:

Back in 1995, Gavin was seized by a weird (and VERY NINETIES) impulse: he created a mixtape called "Having Fun On Stage With Everybody," consisting of all the stuff from canonical concert albums EXCEPT the music.

2/
Tuning, jokes, banter, emcees exhorting audiences to welcome this band or that to the stage. Gavin figured the natural audience for this odd project was two people - specifically two friends who got off on the same weird audio adventures as he did.
