Look it hasn't even been a whole day and it's already very clear that the group that let us down the most and will continue to let us down indefinitely is the traditional media.
Since this is the dumbest timeline the only place we can actually get useful news is social media.

Tiktok themselves has shared more proof they are actively manipulating politics in the last two days than anyone else has publicly shared so far in this whole goddamn debacle.

Apparently this message is old and has changed so I actually opened the app and got a screenshot, and it's pretty surreal.
TFG has promised he will work with them. To work around a law banning their product. That he started, ultimately signed, and SCOTUS just unanimously upheld. Well, if that ain't 2025 for ya

well, it's official: if you want US people to use your social network, it is required by law that it be owned in the US.
So does the Great Firewall like get installed in my brain or just on internet connections because there's already not enough space in my brain

anyway since I am now nothing but a ball of nearly unregulated instability, I am now slightly obsessed with the line
He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
i find myself and a lot of friends in this, and it's a good moment to stop and remember that life is not about collecting kudos for being right, it's about building kindness, experience, and wisdom about a thing so that you can ask more useful and important questions about the next thing.

Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch is really beautiful so I will post it in its entirety here.
--
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

So Andy has been updating his reddit post today and y'all, it has gotten no better.
He doubled down on his support for JD Vance of all people. And has not a single time mentioned any of the concerns people have outside of privacy.
I continue to wonder if there is some kind of founder school where they forcefully extract your empathy and replace it with a gland that makes you stay On Message.

Hey @jonah I got a reply from @protonprivacy over on bluesky. It is damning.
Do not use Proton, do not recommend them to anyone, do not support them in any way.

EDIT: i got a lot of boosts on this so maybe share your fave alternatives in the comments? We all rise together and all that.
i talk about @bitwarden so much I should get paid for it (hint hint guys! 😉) and @mullvadnet rocks for vpn. if you email host your own, i love migadu (every day but today, of all days, when they seem to be really chugging for some reason) but if you just need an address I have no useful suggestions whatsoever.

Someone finally did a reasonably comprehensive writeup on the sexual assault allegations that came out initially about Neil Gaiman. It's pretty bad.
It seems likely that the stories we know about are really just part of the story.
The more I think about how embedded he is in nerd culture, the more it sucks. Whedonesque.

Two big name "journalists" quit WaPo to join Substack.
Someone really should start keeping count of big name journalists that quit major orgs and then joined Substack.
I didn't know Substack's pockets were that deep but apparently I was wrong.

It is infuriating we have essentially locked ourselves into doing business with these crooks and there basically aren't other alternatives.
