The coming battle between social media and the state

Behind the alignment of X and Meta with Trump is a cold business logic — and a position of weakness rather than strength

It’s my birthday so why not release a bonus episode today. So for this bonus episode we are joined by director JEFF FEUERZEIG (The Devil And Daniel Johnston) to discuss a very mysterious, litigious, and glorious documentary KISS IN CADILLAC, MICHIGAN 1975!

Zuckerberg turned a campus creeper app, scraping and rating female students, into a global Public Information Utility, left life committed to everyone's own truth and to avert their rights under the Common Carrier clause, that protects us from parasites like Meta.

People have already bought new Teslas only to find out they had not only been owned previously, but actually crashed in some cases. Reselling a car bomb would be a new low, but not by THAT much

"In those counties I’m talking about — 'news desert' counties — Trump won 91% of them by an average of 54 points ... those counties could be going more conservative because there’s no local media to counteract the foghorn blasts of rightwing propaganda."

Officers invented a gang to falsely charge protesters as members.

They made up evidence.

Wrote false reports.

Lied in court.

After 4 years, a criminal investigation recommended charges for 7 officers and a prosecutor.

But officials won’t bring a case.

An acquaintance who had a kitchen full of Garfield memorabilia once looked me dead in the eye and solemnly intoned “to appreciate Garfield you gotta understand where Garfield is coming from,” and I’ve never really stopped thinking about that.

I'm confused as to how to use moderation lists effectively. How can I even find the list of ones to which I've subscribed in the event I want to unblock one poorly-categorized individual? Also went to check on clearsky.app the list of people who have blocked me. Evidently very arbitrary.

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

Only ELEVEN Democrats voted against this bill which strips trans kids of their healthcare. Eleven. As the party lurches forward with a collaboration-with-Trump plan, we have officially been abandoned.
