On May 5, #MAGA Inc organized a “crypto & #AI innovators dinner” featuring #Trump at his golf club in Virginia. Among the attendees, acc/to 2 people…, was #JPRichardson, the chief exec of the #crypto company #Exodus, which donated $1 million to MAGA Inc. in Jan.

“It is in the best interests of our company & its shareholders to support pro-crypto causes & candidates,” Richardson said in a text message. “We intend to continue backing similar efforts.”

I finally did it: deleted all my accounts on Google, Twitch and Spotify.

This was quite a process, since my Google adresses had been my contact info for a lot of services for many (~18) years, and someone close to me has been making a living on YouTube and Twitch for ~6 years now, but unless we leave, nothing will change. I am here to support digital creators, artists, journalist, entertainers, any day – just not through big tech.

Mind blowing argument made by Joseph Massad. It's around Israelis leaving Israel for good:
"Palestinians have constituted a majority between the River and the Sea since 2010, threatening the long-term survival of the Jewish supremacist state. As I recently argued, that is the primary reason for Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people"
The demographic issue is fundamental. If settlers dwindle, there's no more Israel.

I am still completely nonplussed as to why Wizards Of The Coast have not made a bigger deal of the Exodus #TTRPG. I get that it's a side project to build excitement for a videogame but surely the first ever new TTRPG from Wizards, albeit one using variant 5E rules, has to be worth making noise about? #Exodus
