Reminder that the thing you’re fundamentally buying when you subscribe to The Verge is our ethics policy: we don’t do brand deals and pretend they’re reviews and we insist companies (and the White House) be on the record if they want quotes in our stories. Worth it! www.theverge.com/ethics-state...

Trump has approved a 28-point plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. “The deeply troubling details now circulating show what Trump wants: to help the Russian president,” Phillips Payson O’Brien argues, “and to weaken Ukraine, perhaps fatally.”

A new report from @oilchange.bsky.social finds that the US govt gives the #FossilFuel industry a handout of $34.8 BILLION dollars in subsidies every year — even as everyday people struggle with the cost of living and the climate crisis grows worse & worse.

An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.

Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

I thought that abandoning Twitter as a social networking platform would be tough until I actually did it. www.fastcompany.com/91439423/one...
One year later, I’m gladder than ever I left Twitter - Fast Company
I have seen the future of social networking, and it’s way better without Elon Musk at the controls.

Amazing new paper analysed 10 million news posts on 7 social media platforms in January 2024 - they found that most content posted is high quality and politically moderate, including on Twitter/X. The problem is that engagement is much higher for the relatively small portion of low quality content.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.

The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

NEW REPORT from ProPublica finds that Fox News manufactured riots fit for air, using old footage or footage that was not of Portland, for months leading up to September.

It was so convincing that the network apparently prompted Trump to send federal forces to the Pacific Northwest. trib.al/koDwQMR
