Twitter punished me for literally doing my job.
Imagine the future of journalism once Section 230 is repealed or reformed.
(No, I won't be using this platform as I have been. I've been "admonished" on the word of a religious lobby.)
Opaque to even get a contact person.
What they want is for me to "check myself" before reporting. They got it.
This is WITH SECTION 230 IN PLACE.
Now imagine post-repeal.
I hate to agree with Trump on anything, but his rants about Twitter's deliberate opacity and arbitrary doling out of punishment are not incorrect.

Massively grateful to everyone who took time out to read, comment & share these across the year. I really appreciate you.

3. Breaking-in – book smart vs. street
Anyone who has ever worked a corporate job will tell you where you studied means very little.

Education doesn't guarantee ability.
4. Personal Finance – MEGA Property
The Reserve Bank cut the repo rate by 25bps & just like clockwork, the rats who are paid to sell houses are encouraging people to go out & buy

The usual "influencers"/ estate agents/ mortgage brokers/ banks/ loan sharks/ excavator salesmen

In "Dependency Confusion," security researcher @alxbrsn describes how he made a fortune in bug bounties by exploiting a new supply-chain attack he calls "dependency confusion," which allowed him to compromise "Apple, Microsoft and dozens of others."https://t.co/hn32EmF5qT

Adam Curtis on criti-hype: Big Tech as an epiphenomenon of sociopathic mediocrity, not supergenius.

Adam Curtis is a brilliant documentarian, and films like Hypernormalization and series like All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace had a profound effect on my thinking about politics, technology and human thriving.

Back in the early 2010s, people started falling into open sewer entrances in New York City and other large metros - because a China-driven spike in the price of scrap metal, combined with post-2008 unemployment, gave rise to an army of metal-thieves.https://t.co/gtD72IDCPn
