Yes this is painfully out of touch, but also how are these people billing $20MM for what looks like glorified network and narrative analysis? https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiblrocqpssuxyeup4ieqobcrzyby6xztox22ygnhjzdt6bz7rkcfm
🌱 community garden plot is going well, everything came up. but once a week we are still digging banana suckers and rhizomes out of the ground. It’s amazing how fast they grow. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreicfnwvtm4eyjz4nyxsyzrucvmd44bpeqborlmgr4q56xoyaqvw744
Important points & resources here! In Invisible Rulers (📕) I wrote in detail ab the right-wing bs machine that used a combo of subpoenas, FOIA, smears, online bridgading, & lawsuits to attack us - and ultimately shutter Stanford Internet Observatory.
