Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Bari Weiss does not understand what her job is. She thinks her job is to inject far-right wing ideology into the main stream and get past media gatekeepers to do so.
But this is why she fails as someone who thinks like an 80 year-old.
There are few gates left, and she is a gatekeeper.

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.

Would also just like to remind the general public that Olivia Nuzzi was *also* one of the biggest boosters of the “Biden is non compos mentis & the campaign is covering it” narrative, including writing one of the core pieces that kicked it off in the first place.
Nuzzi wrote an article in Sept 2024 glazing Trump as her lover was negotiating for a role in his administration. According not only to Lizza but Nuzzi herself, she was helping RFK with these negotiations!

The right pulled this off on gun control. Every legal scholar recognized that the Second Amendment was about gun ownership in the context of a well-regulated militia. Until right-wing pseudo-scholarship undermined the consensus.
But what if you wait? if you wait, the bullshit scholars will keep putting out bullshit law review articles advocating a bullshit theory. In a few months, they’ll have stood up a whole body of bullshit scholarship that you can cite to. Now you feel less embarrassed at dinner parties.

President Trump is preparing to order his administration to dramatically loosen restrictions on MARIJUANA.
The order would reclassify cannabis from Schedule I — the same level as heroin — to Schedule III — the same level as Tylenol and codeine and some steroids.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Yet, so many people think the point of education is "job training" which is ridiculous and counterproductive. Schools chase fads like "cybersecurity" programs that teach neither real computer science or humanities or social sciences and think this is progress even though it confers zero skills

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge
