Dear parents. Stop telling your kids that they are "too big" or "too heavy" for something. Say "I'm not strong enough to lift you" or "that seat is too small for you" instead of making the size of their body the problem. Signed, a former fat kid

Your billionaire overlord doesn't want you getting on Signal. Wonder why that could be 🤔The petty tech tyrant running X will let you have free speech as long as you say the right thing to the right people on the right platform.

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower.

"What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations."

theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...
I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do. When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical. We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide. One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic. We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them. Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions. The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA." What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted. The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen. I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs. Yours sincerely, A former employee who can't sleep at night.

NBC, Trump’s long time partner, censored Elon Musk’s Nazi salute.

Top is the censored NBC version and the bottom is the live version.

We're at the point in the year where I have no idea what day of the week it is and I no longer care. This is freedom, this is the way humans are meant to live

The perfect time to celebrate consumerism, stress, and forced family fun.

Happy Christmas, everyone!

Enjoy the chaos!

All of the best co-op games have dynamic split screen. Change my mind.

Maybe if people let go of the unattainable dream of being a millionaire someday we would actually be able to achieve class consciousness

Spending all of your time working and none of it with your family isn't the flex you think it is.

Hot take but teaching you babies how to sign is such a low effort way to improve their communication and improve speech development, I don't know why more people don't do it.
