Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

Not only are generations fake, they’re also something we basically invented a few decades ago. Compare when generations occurred (shaded areas) with when we settled on their names.

Annual reminder that the reporters covering Lee Harvey Oswald's funeral ended up burying him because they were the only ones besides his family to show up. Even the minister skipped it.

Here’s a video clip of the moment to which I referred earlier of Mamdani and Trump talking about FDR and the New Deal in the Oval Office:
"We have a great portrait of FDR that I found in the vaults that was missing for years. I found it and I put it up. He's a Democrat, to the best of my knowledge...
And when the mayor saw that portrait, he said, Sir, do you mind if I have a picture taken by that portrait?' It's an amazing portrait."

What an a**hole.
Rebecca Quick accomplished a rare feat here, she made Jeffries look sympathetic.
Unfortunately, it took extreme unprofessionalism to do it.
Wonder if she regularly interrupts, condescends to, and rolls her eyes at her guests.

"That's absolutely a ridiculous assertion. Shame on you for saying that" -- Hakeem Jeffries was not happy when CNBC's Rebecca Quick claimed he actually wants healthcare costs to go up to score political points on Republicans

Also crucial from Rep Chrissy Houlahan:
One reason she and other Dems did the video about Trump's illegal orders is that they're hearing from inside the military and intel services of actual live fears that they're being given unlawful commands:

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

If you're interested in this topic you can watch this interview I did on Substack or read this (co)author's book: The Power of Us: Harnessing Our Shared Identities to Improve Performance, Increase Cooperation, and Promote Social Harmony asharangappa.substack.com/p/class-48-h...
Class 48. Harnessing a Common Identity to Promote Democracy
Is there a way to get people to identify with the traits that unite, rather than divide us to change their thinking and behave in our collective interests?

It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.

JUST NOW: Trump’s Secretary of Lying chalked up his “Quiet Piggy” line to him being “frank and honest” 🤔and said it’s why people voted for him.
There is no bottom.
(And for all the commenters telling us he said “Peggy”, you can relax now. He isn’t even denying it.)

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.
