Have been offline for my mental health, but I wanted to let people know that the survey company Ipsos is now using AI, including "digital twins" - so don't trust any of their results anymore.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Fact check: The flu, RSV and COVID are spread primarily through the air. Ventilation, masking and staying home when sick matter much more than Clorox wipes.

this is absolutely a violent political threat, but also, I hope people remember/pay attention to the normalization of this kind of talk--allowing it to slide unremarked leads to dangerous places in the US, India, etc.
Even if the complaints about Bryan Passiflume go nowhere, they are worth making.

This is why the work of the late Robert McChesney, who *for decades* revealed the dangers of concentration in media ownership, is so important.
(FWIW, 25yrs ago in grad school — during the first dot-com bubble, AOL-TW, etc — I was senior researcher for a lab that mapped media consolidation.)

All of the major media organizations over the last decade have been systematically bought up by oligarchs, dismantled, and turned into propaganda organs benefiting the oligarchs. This was not by accident, this was a concerted effort to exercise more control over US society.

I don't think Walz is likely to deploy NG on ICE officers. That's a fair criticism. But from a practical standpoint it has also injected that idea into the public discourse as something acceptable and necessary for Serious Democrats to consider. This is probably useful.

They often partner w/others: last night, a church, brewery & bookstore hosted an event.

"I think it is naive, frankly, to say that we should get rid of him because he’s a bad person," the new UK Royal Society president says of Elon Musk's membership.
The society would have expelled Isaac Newton if it made judgments on character & behaviour, Paul Nurse says.
