Ugh, NYT just did the exact same thing with a headline like "Portland shows what Mamdani's socialist dream would look like"

L: Hell, yeah!
R: Portland is a fiery hellscape = socialism bad!

Therefore, we're both supposed to click.

Thanks, I hate it.

Are we supposed to engage as if this were a real conversation and Weiss a real reporter? Fox News hires "ex-Antifa gang members". Anyone can find a 'source' who can present their favored narrative, and pay/incentivize them to provide it.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

I'd been watching standalone later eps recommended on various lists for awhile

I never made it very far in, because even in the 2000s all the women are dead and/or horny, I couldn't take it for long

That's okay, I started the Supernatural rewatch for you, but holy hell I'm not sure I'm gonna last

In this disinformation age, anything that hooks you, that makes you feel like you're so, so right about the world... paradoxically, those are the stories you should question the most, and always be inclined to double-check

You absolutely can be gamed

We should be especially wary of stories like the one above, that are deliberately crafted with a story that can net the attention of the left and right equally.

L: Correct, cops are bad!
R: Correct, Mamdani is bad!

It's geared for clicks in both directions: monetization, not information.

Incapable of doing this simple, dumb thing. And, yet, at the same time, doing it with dangerous effect.

“When a journalist pointed out the image's inauthenticity, the Oregon Republican Party responded on social media with a cavalier admission: ‘We're not reporters, just bad memers.’”

I’m so proud of my fellow leftists for pushing back against hatred and violence with disruptive protesting like this. This is how we do it.

It makes the news and people say

The Portland protest frog didn’t let a stream of chemical spray aimed directly at his costume’s air vent stop him.

A TikTok video of the onslaught by a federal agent is now up to at least 1.4 million likes.

It happened last week – at 10:57 p.m. on Oct. 2 – as people were peacefully protesting on the sidewalk in front of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office, said the man in the frog suit, Seth Todd, 24, of Portland.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

All you peacenik liberals wringing hands over what to do: Yes, of course, vote. It's your primary responsibility as a citizen.

But now more than ever, fulfill your second civic responsibility: Serve on juries. Never has it been more imperative to thwart rogue injustice.

yeah, that did ping me. However, (a) I thought the information was otherwise important enough to share and (b) thought his tone of voice and tripping a little over the terms indicated he knew his use of that language wasn't quite right, and he wasn't using it to be insulting

The incentive offered by Blueticks to farm engagement incentivised rage bait to such an extent that twitter became little more than a machine that makes you feel angry. Why would one willingly step into such a contraption?
