As a fellow Jew, I agree, but it’s worth noting. I wouldn’t ever call someone an antisemite for referring to someone as a lizard-person, because at this point no one intends it that way. I have a friend who’s pretty receptive to social justice issues and mentioned it to her recently just as an interesting point of conversation.

It started in October with a wave of defections to Mastodon, an open source, ad-free, decentralized community that was hosted on an archipelago of independent servers. For the briefest of moments, everyone seemed to agree that this brainy successor was destined to save social media. But the enthusiasm quickly waned as people struggled to navigate the platform’s sprawling “Fediverse,” and the Twitter exodus flowed elsewhere. Media obsessives gravitated toward Post, a news-heavy platform founded by Noam Bardin, the former CEO of Waze. “Mastodon is complicated and unsatisfying,” tweeted Kelda Roys, a Democratic state senator in Wisconsin. “Post could be a winner if there were a critical mass there.”

Can’t wait to hear what the dealership has to say when I ask them how to access my telematics data.
