A fascinating thing about NYC is that everyone trusts 3-1-1 and (for good reason) nobody my age calls 9-1-1. A nice old lady will help you get a pothole fixed without killing a guy. This could be a whole political platform for a smart person.

"It’s now 2023, and the ACLU of New York says that the lion’s share of the dodgy, privacy-violating tracking undertaken by the kiosk system still hasn’t been meaningfully addressed." techdirt.com/2023/08/07/aclu…

when economists get suspended
So now @elonmusk's Twitter has suspended progressive economist @DeanBaker13. Zero chance he threatened violence, that's not remotely who he is.
If Musk wants a right-wing echo chamber, why didn't he buy parler or something else? So weird.

When it comes to end-to-end encrypted DM’s, would you trust the code of the guy whose company recently lost the heads of security, privacy, and trust & safety and who also snooped around Slack looking for messages from anyone who wasn’t loyal to him?
