if you never want to go viral just post bad but not too bad
Social media should come with an anti-virality option, where you can insist that your post be algorithmically down ranked. Going viral is genuinely horrible

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.
Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure.
Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

I was hoping to have a whole cabal by this point in my life but all I’ve managed so far is one guy who follows me and looks around conspiratorially before closing each door I enter

pretty disgusting the entire media ecosystem is applauding this guy for doing exactly what journalists are NOT supposed to do (waiting for approval from the NatSec sector before fully publishing the messages). journalists are supposed to be as antagonistic to governments as possible! what a joke man
it actually wasn't a mistake he was there
Jeffrey Goldberg Dismissing Yemeni Deaths Is Why He Was in the Group Chat to Begin With
As someone who launders pro-Israel, pro-US government talking points for a living, Goldberg being on Trump officials’ speed dial makes perfect sense—and is everything wrong with US media.

Another eg: even ndp is now talking about military arms spending rather than for eg shifting "national defence" toward climate disaster prevention & response—climate is imo both still the biggest physical (& even economic) threat AND likely the driver of eventual US incursion (land, fresh water)
This moment is SO FULL of possibilities right now and its absolutely enraging that our politicians refuse to think beyond doing late stage capitalism harder.
Like the collapse of US tourism should trigger a national domestic tourism strategy, complete with nationally-owned services!

Canada could have a Cuban-doctor-style natural disaster response corps if it wanted to pursue actual national security & international stability, rather than just wasting billions on warplanes so that our dick doesn't look small or whatever

So if masked men exit an unmarked car, refuse to show me any badge or ID, and restrain me in handcuffs I'm supposed to just go along with it? Is that the country you want to live in?
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Get the idea of “good, sane, kind billionaire” out of your head. There is no way to become a billionaire without extreme exploitation and moral debasement. There is no and will never be a “good, sane, kind” billionaire.
Isn’t there a democratic billionaire who can buy Wikipedia and keep it free of Rich White MAGA Separatists??
Please we need a wealthy benefactor who’s on the good side, the sane side, the kind side, the normal American side

As I wrote last week: "As other information sources fall, Wikipedia’s stubborn independence becomes more vital than ever. The attacks from [the right] aren't just about an online encyclopedia — they're part of a broader assault on any information source that refuses to be controlled."

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.
