"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

if youβre cis and you donβt get it this is LITERAL TORTURE
it will result in dead trans people
and with their other goal of making us βsexually explicitβ for existing
you see the pipeline right?
we exist -> weβre jailed for it -> weβre tortured and die
WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS
When there are no consequences for the last bad thing, you'll get a next worse thing.
This whole situation in Kansas is fucking horrific. Progress is not linear and anyone incensed by these gross violations of human rights has a duty to fight for the future they claim to support.
Trans rights are human rights. Period.
Is it good when the most requested feature for a new technology is a way to turn it off? lmao

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governorβs veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of powerβto void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformityβis terrifying and it will not stop here.
Extremely into this, grabbing the demo now
a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access β’ Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.
A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitterβs algorithmic feed significantly shifts peopleβs political views to the right.
Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.
This is one of the most concerning papers Iβve read in awhile.

Iβm excited at how many more BEV Toyota/Subaru are entering the market this year. At the very least, it makes it easier to pitch them to non enthusiasts when there is more than a single BEV model to consider from a manufacturer!
Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.
Itβs amazing to think that American conservatism, which claimed to have an intellectual heritage going back to Burke, Hamilton, Hayek and Buckley, would now be a movement whose sole ideology is whatever crazy policy Trump pulls out of his ass.
Now THAT's a headline.

The problem with the Western mindset: Everything must turn a profit. Gone is the recognition that sometimes essential services should lose money to improve society and spur more economic activity.
βI don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,β says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. βI don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.β
Sounds accurate to me.
In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said βwe went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.β
