After #ElonMusk decided to fix the world by ruining #Twitter i too became a #twitterrefugee
Happy to say that after three weeks I enjoy #Mastodon more. Less right wing propaganda and fewer flat-earth believers makes it easier 😜

Tesla Self-Driving FAIL!
Surveillance footage of the self-driving Tesla that abruptly STOPPED on the Bay Bridge, resulting in an eight-vehicle crash that injured 9 people including a 2 yr old child just hours after Musk announced the self-driving feature.

#Elon wanting #Substack further confirms he's waging a war on #journalism. Substack is a leading resource for hosting written content and him owning it would further cripple journalists ability to share their stories. It has the same fatal flaw as #twitter though, it's centralized. In this new era, I believe journalists will need to host their own content on places like #Mastodon or even #Wordpress to not be under constant threat of being deplatformed.

I'll probably share some more of my favs from the last year next week, but as a #BestOf2022 entry, I'll start with this article for @TexasObserver where I took on a little of the New York Times shitty reporting about #trans kids. The #NYTimes story I'm responding to was so bad, the state of #Texas used it as evidence in their attempt to redefine #transgender healthcare as child abuse. https://www.texasobserver.org/emily-bazelon-transgender-healthcare-debate-new-york-times/
The author would never respond to my questions, and actually deleted almost all her tweets about the story shortly after this came out. I'm proud of my work here, which was greatly improved by @gabrielarana's editing and support. While I know this is a drop in the ocean when it comes to bad #journalism about trans folks, I'm glad that TXO gives me a platform to push back from time to time.

“It was a real life example of one hateful group threatening harm and decent people supporting and defending their community.”
#Texas GOP endorsed anti-#LGBTQ+ “groomer” rhetoric inspired armed fascist groups to harass #queer events, spurring a diverse, celebratory response in both #SanAntonio and #GrandPrairie. A new report from our Special Investigative Correspondent @stevanzetti: https://www.texasobserver.org/christmas-drag-protest-san-antonio-grand-prairie-texas/

"Here’s a brief list of some things I’ve learned with the help of Flipper Zero this week: Some animal microchips will tell you the body temperature of your pet. My neighbor’s car tire pressure sensor leaks data to anyone in range of the signal. My iPhone blasts my face with infrared signals every few seconds. My home security system has built-in signal-jamming detection. WIRED’s office bathroom has a soap dispenser that broadcasts whether it needs a refill."
My colleague Dhruv Mehrotra has been playing with the Flipper Zero for the last few days
