@ItsTheBrandi I mean he was also wearing a cape. With the pandemic I miss talking to random weird people who just ramble their health and family histories at me while I wait for the bus.

@ItsTheBrandi I once gave a grifter $10 because he told me he was the keyboardist for the band Spyrogyra and I don't regret it.

@mattl Please tell me when that happens! There is (was?) a very limited NextSTEP built into oldweb.today but the experience doesn't really generalize. And I've always failed to get anything working in the emulations I've tried.

The sheer amount of surveillance right now and the layers of it are hard to process. Sousveillance, collaborative mapping of police actions by protesters, documentation of brutality, stingray, drones, cameras, LinkNYC, unencrypted Zoom calls, like a huge second Internet.

@JeromeHardaway @holtbt @cwoodruff @MSgtDufrain @CalebSweazy Jerome, I'm glad to know you. You do good work and you take care of others. I can see and hear the unfair pressure you're under from our deeply screwed-up and racist country. If I can help you take care of yourself, let me know.
➛That's wonderful.
