Both X and Meta manipulate their algorithm to benefit Trump

X by pushing pro-Trump propaganda

Meta by suppressing all news and political content. The less someone follows the news, the more likely they are to support Trump

Your mission this week, if you choose to accept it, is to introduce Blue Sky to at least 21 people. #BlueSky
To increase influence / affect change, growth is needed. #BlueSky needs an additional 527 million users to reach 10% of the global online population, which totals approximately 552 million people. For this to happen, each of the current 25 million users would need to invite about 21 new users each.

He lied.
During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

What better way to start on Blue Sky than to post a photo I captured of an F35 headed exactly that way... with just a bit of fluff! ☁️

Just one strange cognitive bias?!?

It's called: disinformation.
“In 2022, YouGov asked “What percentage of Americans do you think are ___?”

The results were hilarious.

Trans: 21%
Muslim: 27%
Jewish: 30%
Black: 41%
Live in NYC: 30%
Gay or lesbian: 30%

The errors are off by orders of magnitude. The trans estimation by 2,000%.”

Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee Pam Bondi was once accused of stealing a Louisiana family’s dog named Tank. Had a 16 month custody battle and settled privately, eventually returning the dog to its family.

Elon Musk spent $45 million to target Black, Jewish, Muslim voters and others with disinformation ads. The ads had lies tailored to target citizens by race and religion to demotivate thems from voting and turn them against Kamala Harris.

Good cannot prevail against evil without your active participation. Voting is a civic duty but when that isn’t enough, your voices need to echo through the streets.

Lots of reflections on Twitter here.

I agree in a sense that exodus was both about platform use value and owner politics.

But it's not that it became useless. It's that having a conversation on there increasingly felt like discussing the weather while standing in the middle of a tornado.

So far #Brexit has cost the UK economy £140bn

Starmer wants to reset relations with EU but needs to explain what a closer relationship would look like.

He has ruled out the youth mobility scheme EU nations are pushing for and is popular with the British people.

These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.
