refuser··on The truth behind the 2026 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference
The website linked in the article appears to not be _the_ website (to be fair, tfa only calls it _a_ website). The website actually hosted by JPM is very sparse, but even mentions that such unofficial websites exist.

(tfa is a fun read, regardless)

refuser··on I built a tool to help people remove their info from the Tea App
> legally worded takedown email

Yes, there are legal words in there, but it just seems like hand waving towards a few _potentially_ applicable laws or class of law. Why would Tea respond to this, let alone take action?

Also, erm, gotouted is an interesting name to use to promote your service that makes claims of libel/slander.

refuser··on How we’re responding to The NYT’s data demands in order to protect user privacy
It was that good?
refuser··on Poison Pill: Is the killer behind 1982 Tylenol poisonings still on the loose?
What was the answer?

I can understand why it might seem suspicious, but I’d also hope that (non-exotic?) substances capable of killing at doses small enough to fit in a Tylenol pill would be in their test matrix.

refuser··on What Was Quartz?
> The Paycheck Protection Program, for small businesses affected by the pandemic, helped keep us afloat.

In the grand scheme of PPP shenanigans it’s nothing, but how was an online-only _news_ website negatively impacted by perhaps the most globally relevant, urgent, and ongoing news story of the internet age?

refuser··on Restructuring Announcement
Not especially surprising, but there’s an awfully large elephant in the room that likely directly contributed to this necessity that goes completely unmentioned.
