Facebook learning about karma today. Need more popcorn 🍿— who thinks this is going to get worse?
2) considering I have FB pages with 5 million+ followers… FB crashing and burning doesn’t even make me feel bad. I haven’t used my FB pages in a long time out of principle.
3) I honestly wouldn’t shed a tear 😢 losing my mega FB pages if FB imploded — especially if it would mean stopping all the dangerous disinformation and misinformation on FB that are killing people during the pandemic and destroying democracy! #Facebook
5) Popcorn 🍿 for dinner tonight…. FB is still in denial of a DNS attack. Lol. nytimes.com/2021/10/04/tec…
6) While we wait, let’s enjoy the @WHO bandwagon trolling @Facebook meantime.
8) “Facebook has realized that if they change the algorithm to be safer, people will spend less time on the site, they'll click on less ads, they'll make less money,” says Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

HOLY HELL—Anti-Vax Lieutenant Governor of Idaho briefly took power as Acting Governor without permission to block all #COVID19 vaccine & testing mandates, while Governor was briefly away. @GovernorLittle rescinded Lt Governor @JaniceMcGeachin’s illegal order just 8 minutes after! ImageImage
2) Crazier is that both @GovernorLittle and @JaniceMcGeachin are both of the same political party! That’s batshit. ktvb.com/article/news/p…
3) Less than ten minutes after McGeachin announced her executive order, Little responded on Twitter, stating he did not authorize McGeachin to act on his behalf and "I will be rescinding and reversing any actions taken by the Lt. Governor when I return."

WELP—while only 3% of poor countries vaccinated, Finnish 🇫🇮 Fur Breeders will vaccinate minks x2 with 500,000 doses…
all so that fellow humans can keep wearing fur… all while people without vaccines are dying. Let’s boost humans, not fur trade. #COVID19
yle.fi/uutiset/osasto…
2) we need boosters for humans not for minks.
3) Finnish fur breeders also want to do a booster for the minks too. That is overkill.

MINK VAX—Finnish Fur Breeders' Association will vaccinate minks. "We have enough vaccine doses to vaccinate all 🇫🇮 breeding mink twice. A booster vaccine will also be needed". Bold—might slow mink↔️human transmission—but do humans need fur this badly?
yle.fi/uutiset/osasto… Image
2) There have been no recorded cases of coronavirus infections in minks at Finnish farms. Farms in other EU countries, including Denmark, the Netherlands and Spain, culled millions of mink to prevent the infection from spreading to humans after cases were detected.
3) According to FIFUR, minks and raccoon dogs, which are bred for fur in the country, are susceptible to the virus, as are cats and white-tailed deer.
"We will continue tackling the epidemic and protecting against the disease in cooperation with the authorities.

BOOSTERS URGENTLY—Singapore wave spiking so hard that 50% of all hospitalizations & 32% of all #COVID19 deaths are breakthroughs—all while 98% cases asymptomatic or mild & 83% of 🇸🇬 population is 2-dose vaccinated. Vaccines work—but #DeltaVariant is risky!
moh.gov.sg/news-highlight… Image
2) Vaccines work? Absolutely! 98.3% mild or asymptomatic. But is #DeltaVariant so severe that it can still send the rest of the 1.7% to the hospital. Image
3) There are currently 247 cases requiring oxygen supplementation, and 34 in the ICU. Of those who have fallen very ill, 235 are seniors above 60 years. hence why elderly need boosters. Image

📍REMINDER—Facebook concocted a scheme to “park profits” offshore in Ireland, where FB would “pay a tax rate near zero” using a Cayman Island subsidiary—together shifting at least $19 BILLION in profits offshore. All to save puppies—joking, all for profit. propublica.org/article/whos-a… Image
2) worse—globally, Amazon, Facebook and other tech giants paid almost $100B less in taxes than they claimed. Nonprofit report says six Big Tech companies exploited global rules to pay just 3.6% of revenues in income taxes. ➡️ all for puppies 🐶 again? No.

3) “Facebook, over and over again, has shown it chooses profit over safety”said Facebook whistleblower #FrancesHaugen. “How many more years of Zuckerberg’s ‘apologies’ can our democracy endure before action is taken?” asks @FBoversight

CARBON CHEATING—Climate offsets are basically a way to cheat with carbon pollution. Big corporations and fossil fuel industry use “net-zero" arguments to get away with pollution. Don’t fall for it. Watch and read🧵

HT @ClimateAd @ClimateHuman
2) The world has by and large adopted “net zero by 2050” as its de facto climate goal, but two fatal flaws hide in plain sight within those 16 characters. One is “net zero.” The other is “by 2050”.

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
3) These two flaws provide cover for big oil and politicians who wish to preserve the status quo. Together they comprise a deadly prescription for inaction and catastrophically high levels of irreversible climate and ecological breakdown.
