Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."
President Macron: “Europeans, let's wake up!
We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks.”

My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
The part that I can't figure out is what John Roberts thinks he is doing. He used to seem to be a judge who was very attentive to appearances, I think on a theory that you can't draw too much attention to yourself without undermining your ability to continue to shape the law.

Putin claims some points in the US peace plan to end Russia’s war in Ukraine are “unacceptable.” He warned that "Russia will take eastern Donetsk by force or through Ukrainian withdrawal."
We have grown numb to Putin's utter malevolence.

Regulators must stop this deal. It would accelerate the content-ization of film and potentially deal a terminal blow to cinema. Netflix can’t be allowed to control and apply its model to more of the film industry.
It’s Official: Netflix to Acquire Warner Bros. in Deal Valued at $82.7 Billion
The streaming giant's proposal includes a $5.8 billion breakup fee and promises to maintain Warner Bros. current operations, "including theatrical releases." Theater owners are already speaking out.

the only reason the trump admin would stop this deal is because they want one of trump's cronies to control WB. 1

8/ As a reminder, there’s no vote on the vaccine schedule itself for this meeting. I know these meetings may seem niche, but they affect vaccine access, disease risk, and public perception. Understanding the schedule’s history, science, and safety helps you spot falsehoods & communicate confidently.

3/ When it comes to the timing kids get vaccines at, the schedule is designed to protect children early while spacing doses for strongest immunity.
🔹Too early: maternal antibodies or an immature immune system can reduce long-term protection
🔹Too late: kids are vulnerable to severe infections

1/ Tomorrow, #ACIP —the committee guiding U.S. vaccine policy—will review the entire childhood vaccine schedule. This is the same committee RFK Jr. overhauled, including long-time vaccine skeptics and COVID-19 contrarians. With that in mind, we think it’s important that you know the facts👇

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

i make a lot of jokes about the male loneliness crisis and please believe me it's not because i dislike men on an individual or class basis it's just that i dislike revanchist social movements that exploit human compassion to reify gendered hierarchy, rape culture and transphobia
