Thanks for always mentioning this, and I also thought you nailed it when you asked today how Pres Empathy never seemed to feel that about Gaza. ππΌ

Farley's real life fluoro installation
It already feels good not to share on FB anymore.
Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people canβt be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck!

It's surely also getting old and predictable. And usually like a card trick- a distraction of the real bad sh* they are up to.
Nice!
Important story to followβ¦
Yay!!!
The irony of losing the election over concerns about the economy.
Could not agree more
We are on the same page. It was more important to him to look good than to persecute with urgency. Old white guy doesn't get or didn't want to get it. Now we have to watch another clownshow and hope we survive.

Why did crypto PACs spend a jaw-dropping $134 million in the 2024 election?
One word: regulation.
Crypto is counting on their new minions in Washington to let them continue their unregulated shady dealings.

"It is less known and understood that the elimination of most content moderation includes a lifting of restrictions on highly abusive and dehumanizing content, particularly when directed at women, immigrants, and the LGTBQ+ community."

@Seattle Jazz Fellowship tonight...I didn't quite catch his name
Zuckerberg holds a majority of voting power in his company. That he should see it as βout of touchβ isnβt a criticism of woke Dems. Itβs a criticism of the way he himself capitulates and blows with the political winds. He's at war with himself. Has been for years. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."
I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
How come women are not even listed? We'll have people in the highest offices who have violently attacked women. And states that rather let their women die than to be sued because that's the law now. WTH!
