  • On old Twitter, community notes was simply a function of raising a flag for tweets that got ratio’d. This would open those tweets up for Community Notes users to submit a fact check. Then, the fact check with the highest upvotes gets displayed as the default one.

    Now? Not sure. Elon is a sneaky fucker. But I do think it could be implemented as a simple comment queue that admins and moderators could set user roles to help with.

    I had one of these colleagues. He insisted that he respects force, but whenever I pushed back, homie would run crying to our mutual boss.

    One time, I snapped and yelled at him that I am a 15 year veteran, I know how to do my job. I ended up being forced to apologize to him for not respecting his ‘many years of experience.’









  • Comics from 1900 - 1938 were fucking amazing. I guess because fewer people could read back then, they needed gags in strips to really only exist on a visual level. I’m sure people read gags out then showed the picture to a group of workers or travelers.

    Here’s a sheet of one-panel from 1910. I think these were by Rube Goldberg, before he did his machine illustrations.

    I think about this comic probably once a week at this point. I don’t know if anyone will ever be able to boil the problem down any further than what’s here — “but what if we make a better world for nothing?”

    Unfortunately I have tried to show this to people, or use the line that illustrates it, and the gist of the general response is “my comfort comes before our safety.”
