Wanted this to be about nerdery and bad jokes, but currently too furious at the fascist in chief. They/them.
They reversed course on this. So, it’s important to note that even for these assclowns, the court of public opinion still can matter.
Despicable. You know that quote about how one nazi in a bar makes it a nazi bar…what does that make the USA?

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

I talked about social media manipulation—how information is amplified or suppressed, targeted toward individuals through blackbox algorithms that make old style propaganda look like crayon scribbles—during the plenary session of a recent conference and the LOOKS of SHOCK on people’s faces
I think we downplay the role of social media algorithms and targeted disinformation campaigns in drawing voters to Trump and away from Democrats at our own risk — it’s frankly a refusal to reckon with reality. Social media has created a matrix-like info control environment.

(amused look) I mean, think how wrong you have to get it to be publicly vaguebulled by a Pope for hilariously misusing long-outdated medieval ethical concepts while attempting to exploit your newbie take on his religion.
Imagine basing so much of your public identity on your adult conversion to Catholicism, only to be publicly dismissed by the actual Catholic hierarchy.

No, dire wolves are not “back.” But pretending they can be brought back is a good excuse to gut regulations that protect real endangered species.
