#ParaphrasingGenius ~ Polluting an information space with lies doesn't happen because the polluters want you to believe the lies. Polluting happens so that people don't know what to believe. People check out and trust charismatic characters who *sound* like they are speaking truth. (Anne Applebaum)

Mark Zuckerberg removed tampons from men's restrooms. Meta employees put them back. Changing the system from the inside? IDK!

#Oligarchies ~ Just because you decree it, doesn't make it so: "not the intention of Meta leadership to make employees feel unwelcome or excluded in our offices"

#Feminism ~ White supremacy. Male supremacy. Doing away with DEI programmes among people who only hire white men is proof.

While I am doing the #metaboycott, I don't believe Zuckerberg cares. His billions of subscribers overwhelm even a billion boycotters. The other two billion will keep feeding his money machine. He knows we have no leader. We must have a civil revolution against the oligarchies. Who will lead?

Lights Out Meta January 19 to 26th

#NotEntirelyFunny ~ Politically correct language. I have a 'severe appearance deficit'. This guy is saying that people on the other side of this language see what is being done. Nonetheless, PC language does indicate self-awareness andbspeeds language and mind change.

I'm kinda cheesed off at men in the movies that there are still movies made where two named women don't speak to each other. You can demand. It's like men don't want to see a world with women in it. Annoyingly Hanks is in the best passer ever You've Got Mail, but few others. #homophilia #BechdelTest
