@AmazingSights Black bears are not really a threat. They are actually quite skittish.

@PlasticDespair @kinglinzhuhui whats his username again

@kinglinzhuhui america in japan be like: look i am occupying your country and you can't do anything about it

@theashleyray I mean she works virtually as a tech journalist. I think that would require being online a lot.
English
@TsaiMeLemoni This is such a purposely dishonest take. She is making a point to how useless genai is. But, yes, if you purposely dishonestly interpret her tweet, you might come to the conclusion that Taylor is endorsing the use of ai.
English
I'm sorry but why are you using any genAI model at all, much less to find a hex code
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz
Trying to find a hex code for a specific color, dropping it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. They each give me a diff hex code. I run it through again multiple times on each model. Now each of the models are giving me different hex codes. I love this system

@esjesjesj I see this type of comment on any video where something bad almost happens and a woman happens to have a human reaction. It really pisses me off.

Right winger in their last moments before a plain crashes: “god i fucking hate women”

@flaming0fan Why ask twitter when you could research this quite easily? The WHO, CDC, and NIH have a plethora of articles pertaining to longcovid.
English
genuine question: is this long covid thing rooted in any research or just anecdotal? these people sound a lot like the antivaxxers of the left
key of destiny 🏳️🌈@_keyofdestiny_
And this doesn't even begin to touch on the fact that these protests spread COVID like wildfire. There are ways to protest safer, but this ain't it

@LRSerling I have understood it to be a symptom of developmental disorders. Myself and my uncle experienced prolonged bed wetting due to developmental delays as children.
English
The fact that bedwetting is a symptom of CSA is so weird. Like why does the brain respond like that?
English
@fdahhhhhh @LRSerling Bedwetting is strongly correlated to developmental disorders like ADHD and autism. I wet the bed til age 12, but eventually grew out of it.
English
@LRSerling Wait really? I’ve never heard of this before, as in bedwetting frequently as a toddler or as in it still happening after a certain age
English
@mindyisser Interesting how you ignore the entirety of my comment and focus on the moral panic social media thing. The real issue here is government censorship, not social media addiction. This is being used to distract.
English
@PlasticDespair no, she constantly says that social media is not addictive
English
i don’t know who is paying taylor lorenz but as a mother i can tell you that i will try to shield my child from social media for as long as i possibly can. in addition to social media being evil (not gonna argue about this lol) everything that’s not on the phone is so much better
English
@RaisinsDEtre @mindyisser The coming internet crackdowns will be used to hurt kids more. Abused children will not be able to reach out for support, lgbt kids will be isolated. One of the biggest focuses of this campaign is to remove lgbt content from the internet, all under the guise of protecting kids.
English
@PlasticDespair @mindyisser But kids with bad parents deserve protection as well.
English
@mindyisser This is not about social media, that is just the starting point in order to enact broader govt censorship. The true solution to harmful social media is for parents to monitor their children. It is a good thing you are doing that, but that is not what this fight is about.
English
@mindyisser You have entirely missed Taylor's point. She makes it abundantly clear in her videos, which you probably have not watched based on your assertion, that the threat is forced ID checks to use any form of Internet and the gutting of free speech on the internet (section 230).
English
i cant believe they finally made a prequel
English
@faithy3n @lexbyanyname @TaylorLorenz That is what it is being masqueraded as. The real motive is to lock down the entire internet, suppress dissent, censor speech.
Laws in this realm will inevitably target apps like signal and vpns. The goal is for you to have NO online privacy.
English
@PlasticDespair @lexbyanyname @TaylorLorenz again: the gov't is only pushing for id checks bc for the past decade mainstream soc med appa have obnoxiously refused to comply to any reasonable changes in any way. Signal, proton mail, open source & encrypted platforms are examples of tech protecting users the right way w/o id
English
i constantly want to disagree with Taylor on this issue—and her posts are very easy to dunk on when screenshot out of context—but i think in reality she just knows more about this than almost all of us. this is a journalist In Her Lane who has been sounding the alarm for years.
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz
Begging people to stop falling for moral panic “social media addiction” slop that is being used to further Meta’s billion dollar lobbying efforts and enact the Heritage Foundation’s tech policy slate.
English
@ivebeencollin @lexbyanyname It would reach past social media. It would shut down small forums and independent sites. Rn the internet is pretty free. Anyone can make a site, but that is under threat. You take for granted the online freedom you have and it's about to all be lost.
English
@PlasticDespair @lexbyanyname Name one even example of a small, valuable social media site that could be shut down in this manner and what negative impact that would have. We already live in the world you describe
English
@faithy3n @lexbyanyname @TaylorLorenz It doesn't matter if the social media is ethical if the government passes laws to require ID checks. That is the whole point. They are pushing to pass ID check laws for all internet access while disguising it as a fight against harmful social media.
English
@PlasticDespair @lexbyanyname @TaylorLorenz a new social media platform that can prove they are taking their own steps to keep their algorithm, ux design, and data collection policy safe for developing brains would not need to require id. meta is refusing any compromise to keep their ad revenue & heritage lobby money.
