Hey new followers! However you found me, glad you’re here. I post a lot about my work researching networked incitement (check out our project linked in the reply), but also about rap, sports, Star Trek, 19th century Russian literature that I’m reading, and general shitposting.

5 conservative Aurora Colorado city councilors echoed Trump's claims that gangs had invaded the city. Voters just booted all of them out and replaced them with progressives - despite the conservatives massively outspending.

Trump said gangs invaded this city. Voters booted the officials who agreed.
Liberals who won in Aurora, Colorado, say voters were focused on affordability, trash and other local issues.

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

30 years old! The way this album held me down in my early 20s?! Got to revisit it this weekend for sure.
Morning y'all. Revisiting The Pharcyde's Labcabincalifornia today. I was OBSESSED with this album back in the day. Such a melancholic departure from their debut (and even better imo), and it's still stacked with great listens. 🎧

An anti-abortion protester has shot someone outside of a South Carolina Planned Parenthood.
My source says one person was injured and taken to the hospital—and that the protester was arrested.
More soon.

This is far worse than anyone expected.
Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.
All as mass internment camps are being built.

So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

Why are the Dow, S&P, NASDAQ, etc. called “indexes” and not “indices”? Or are both correct, and financial journalists just prefer “indexes”?
