It's amazing how many corporations -- much less private individuals -- still believe they need to stay active on the white nationalist forum and CSAM generator.

Sure, you may have succeeded in blocking yourself from seeing these things there, but all of us still see you there alongside those things
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

Germany got Hitler because he was peddling outrageous lies about 30% of the electorate wanted to hear.
Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.”

Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

Again, the man who’s next in line for the presidency after this walking corpse has said he’s deeply influenced by this outright Nazi, so maybe we could get a little more attention on that?

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

We’re sleepwalking into a disaster
5 million-plus kindergartners now live in counties where schools don’t have “herd immunity” for measles, Washington Post reporters found.

WaPo also built a tool to look up your own county.

Exceptional, and alarming work by @laurenweberhp.bsky.social @caitlingilbert.bsky.social et al.

(Gift link.)
U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands.
Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

Now imagine those words spoken by Special Counsel Smith in a criminal trial.

Damning proof of criminal guilt.
Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

We don't talk enough about how a public postal service is quite literally a constitutional right (Article I, Section 8, Clause 7) and how these intentional GOP attempts to make it worse to convince us to privatize the post office are yet another attempt for them to ignore the constitution.

shit like this is the core of the damage the social internet has done to us

we have replaced actual expertise with "some dude with a podcast who makes you feel like his buddy while he bullshits into a microphone" and now a ton of people think that measles and chicken pox are the same
Yeah, this dum dum is talking about chicken pox.

Anyway, it's very cool and awesome that he has so much cultural and political influence.

NYT just ran a bizarrely credulous piece about New College, the school that DeSantis and Rufo have turned upside down.

There is one good outcome of the article: This @donmoyn.bsky.social post, which is one of the best pieces of media criticism I've read all year.

Read Jim's whole thread! I also want to add some historical context. During the 1918 pandemic, there was so much confusion because many scientists still thought that a bacteria, not a virus caused the flu (because, as Jim notes, we couldn't even see viruses under a microscope yet).
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

My current state rep is my current state rep because during pandemic lockdown his campaign used canvassers not only for standard campaign outreach but also mutual aid outreach to assist isolated folks, especially seniors.

He defeated an incumbent who had held that seat for 35 years.
at a deep instinctive level they can't recognise popular ideas or take them seriously
