It’s wild to me that someone might take the time to publicly praise folks—while at the same time acknowledging they may have taken a misstep—without taking the time to understand what that misstep might’ve been.

I heard there was some drama with a Ford Bronco car chase in LA today, but man, that O.J. Simpson is a fantastic football player (this is *obviously* not commentary on whatever happened, I just love me some OJ.)

My lock screen, which incorporates rotating photos from my photos app, is producing some amazing results.

It's a nice little treat when I grab my phone. Like— oh yeah, the world is beautiful and I've seen some of it.

The canceling of ICEBlock is more evidence, were any needed, that the Web is the platform of the future, the only platform without a controlling vendor. Anything controversial should be available through a pure browser interface.

New from 404 Media: Google removed an ICE-spotting app too. Called Red Dot, an immigration support group on the ground in Chicago told me it was using it. Google now removed, just like Apple did with ICEBlock after DOJ pressure. Google calls ICE vulnerable group

Glad to see Apple's leaders showing so much courage.

I'm sure their founders, and the historical heroes they love to quote on their homepage on important dates, would've been so proud of the courage and values they practice today.

If the #DOJ compelled #Apple to take down the #RedDot app, did they also compel Apple to handover a list of people who've downloaded the app to their phones?

1. Web Platform Opportunities
2. Open Social Business
3. AI x Web: Emerging Strategies

@manton And if you think it’s *me* that’s causing anything, when *you’re* the one blogging praise for people who actively insult marginalized people, you really need to figure your own stuff out, man. Don’t blame me for your inability to do basic research or your choice to offend a ton of people by supporting hurtful people. Holy victim delusion, Batman.

It may not cost anything to speak up on the internet, but there can still be a price to pay. The last time I shared my opinion about this guy, his BFF (the guy who makes MarsEdit) sicked his large following on me. I received some of the most vile emails I’ve ever seen, and even had a surprise pizza delivery. To my home. At midnight.

The emails have already started again today.

There is nothing more fragile than entitled guys in tech.

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft has fired off a stream of laser-encoded data across 218 million miles. And Earth caught it. The test, part of the Deep Space Optical Communications project, used California telescopes to aim and decode the faint beams, after earlier feats like streaming ultra-HD video from 19 million miles. With 65 test passes complete, the system points to a future where Mars missions swap radio crackle for broadband bursts of light.

Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’:

"Google said apps that have user generated content must also conduct content moderation."

Painfully obvious who has complete control over the means of communication.

Of course. But it was *stunning* commentary on your level of ignorance.

> That is, faced with the horror of women’s experience, Freud rejected the evidence in front of him. Rather than believe the women he had collaborated with, and so be forced to revise his image of the respectable men in his midst, he chose to maintain that respectability by refusing the validity of his own observations.
