Could you please explain it to someone who does use Twitter?

Speaking of Parler, the news is out today that Kanye is going to buy it. Perhaps he has been busy reading it, kind of explaining his recent anti-semitic comments. These apps and websites are so poisonous and he's a bit wonky, so maybe more susceptible to those kinds of things.

Gotta love when these millionaires/billionaires get blocked for saying garbage and then decide they should buy media platforms (thanks, Elon).

What scares me, though, is what the Mercers (who were funding Parler and Cambridge Analytica in 2016) are or have planned for the 2024 election. This is about the right time for them to get started on whatever devious plan they have in mind.

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, was locked out of Twitter for antisemitic posts. Now he's set to buy a platform with less stringent rules than Facebook.

Did YouTube just screw around with its text styling or did I somehow accidentally change something weird in my browser?

A TikTok scene that's right up my alley.

How to befriend a crow

I watched a bunch of crows on TikTok and now I'm trying to connect with some local birds.

www.technologyreview.com

The crows play hide-and-seek with Nicole Steinke after her older kids head to school. She feeds a family of the birds from her apartment balcony in Alexandria, Virginia, twice daily (usually peanuts, but walnuts and cashews are valued treats). Once there’s no food left, they’ll look for her as she walks around her neighborhood. When one crow finds her, it will call to the others, and they’ll surround her and make a bunch of noise.

This, she notes, can alarm bystanders. “People think that death is coming,” she says. “They’re a bad omen, all that—kind of the same as a black cat.”

They are not omens. One of the crows is named Waffles. They are, however, minor TikTok celebrities thanks to CrowTok, a small but extremely active niche on the social video app that has exploded in popularity over the past two years.
