You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

I’m really starting to suspect that most of the tech bros haven’t actually read Tolkien, as they certainly don’t understand it.
The gentle hobbits save the “hard men” of Gondor, largely through compassion and selflessness. Not the other way around. The Christian parable is barely hidden!

Medical masks were never designed to protect the wearer — and leading safety authorities are finally saying so. Only respirators (like N95s) qualify as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Read more: whn.global/whn-joins-in....

Whether & how we think about issues is not a sovereign choice we each make for ourselves. This 🧵 offers a helpful reminder/explanation that discourse is often deliberately shaped.
If you’re curious, “agenda-setting theory” is helpful keyword to start digging into comms research.

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

I read this story a few years ago, shortly before I went through my own (not as bad as this) health insurance hell. Our insurance system is not incentivized for managing care or providing good health outcomes.
After a college student finally found a treatment that worked for his ulcerative colitis, UnitedHealthcare decided it wouldn’t pay for the costly drugs.
His fight to get coverage exposed the insurer’s hidden procedures for rejecting claims.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

Part of that is because social media is monitored, and frankly I don't want certain things to be public. But also, to be perfectly honest...it's not about me. I don't do what I do for an audience or for public consumption. It's about the people who need help, and their needs, and their dignity.

I feel like part of the problem is that in the modern era, especially in the United States, people think that in order to count, they have to post about their activism or what they're doing.
But here's the thing: you don't.
99% of what I do is stuff I never mention on social media.

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

a bunch of complete cranks that are, still, a tiny minority in this country have been allowed to impose their views on the rest of us because not a single person in their party is capable of standing up for the public good in any capacity
Polling showing that a majority of Trump’s voters support vaccines was shared with several Republicans lawmakers’ staffers in a closed-door meeting head of RFK Jr.’s Senate hearing, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
Ahead of Kennedy hearing, GOP saw poll showing Trump voters support vaccines
The poll, conducted by veteran Republican pollsters, found that a majority of Trump voters believe vaccines save lives and support immunizations against measles and hepatitis B.

“We’ve confirmed a vaccine denier” as HHS Secretary.
This is correct. Republican Senators are failing us.
