♲ @Pinboard@twitter.com: Google is trying to buy FitBit, in an interesting example of how combining data sets creates new threats users could not anticipate when making a decision to use the original product. Now Google will know which YouTube ad got your heart racing! www.reuters.com/article/us-fit…

♲ @RVAwonk@twitter.com: When Trump and the GOP chanted "lock her up!", they actually had intentions to use their positions of power to try to criminalize Trump's opponent. And they have shown they're willing to do just that. Meanwhile, at his rallies, you see angry mobs of people demanding revenge.

♲ @clefabledude@twitter.com: @dubsteppenwolf This is how I feel about the exorcist tbh.

Before the film it was a nearly retired practice and after it inspired every suburbanite to imagine their neurodivergent kid needing baphomet beaten out of them.

♲ @MalwareJake@twitter.com: I've been thinking a lot about the DarkSim situation. Based on conversations with many different women, it's obvious he's engaged in predatory behavior. He doesn't belong anywhere with a commitment to inclusion.

But where is the line? Because we absolutely need to define it. 1/

♲ @mwlauthor@twitter.com: If you watch videos from BSD events: thank @BSDTV. He does most of them, as a volunteer, and doesn't get near enough credit. Or glory. Send him glory. #OpenBSD #FreeBSD #NetBSD #BSD #sysadmin

♲ @yourewrongabout@twitter.com: Pedestrian fatalities double every year on Halloween. No case of poisoned candy has ever been confirmed. If police really wanted to keep kids safe, they would be warning drivers, enforcing traffic laws and closing high-risk streets to cars.

♲ @walletcheck@twitter.com: heard that they killed the leader of ISIS. that's good and all but my thoughts are with Michelle, Sasha, and Malia rn

♲ @dungeon_junk@twitter.com: Garfield the Deals Warlock offers you a fabric helm. It threatens with skulls of carefully crafted bone. It's worthless.

♲ @MagicRealismBot@twitter.com: A sorcerer wishes to destroy solitary confinement.

♲ @sdbcraig@twitter.com: In a scathing letter to Waterfront Toronto, an Indigenous design studio that helped organize a consultation with Sidewalk Labs for its proposed smart city development in Toronto says none of the recommendations of Indigenous stakeholders were "acknowledged or carried forward."

♲ @jackngraham@twitter.com: No serious Christian can support socialism.

♲ @BezosByTheBooks@twitter.com: Good news! It would take Jeff Bezos 893 days to accrue the wealth to do this! That’s just a little under 2 1/2 years. If we taxed him 50% we could solve this in five years and he could still buy 187 non-gold double decker buses a day.

♲ @studentactivism@twitter.com: If you don’t understand that Breitbart’s business model is telling racist lies for profit, you should probably stay on the sidelines of this debate.
