Eric Adam’s needs to resign

Make sure you’re registered in NY!!

Good morning BS!!

Just a reminder that the ADL/AIPAC wanted to suppress your free speech about Palestine so bad that they (along with meta) lobbied your government to ban a social media platform bc you were saying things they didn’t like:

... to shame people out of their opinions in an attempt to overwhelm and realign public support in their direction. It used the veil of woke ideology to try and shame the public back into a more acceptable overton window. Would love to find resources that go more into that

For example a couple months back when people were dog piling Chappell Roan (which I fully believe was manufactured hate) you had "people" who would go out of their ways to comment on every single post that defended her and tried to use the social pressure of virtual signaling...

The money and resources being funneled into narrative control on the internet through the use of bots and agents to make sure we're within the limits of acceptable conversation is staggering

Like every book on social media these days is just a surface level take on "We're more polarized, there's so much misinformation" but none of them investigate the influence that governments and rich folk have on these environments which now have the ability to fabricate entire realities

Trying to find a more modern Manufacturing Consent or Inventing Reality that investigates the recent media landscape particularly after the insemination of fox news and social media but nothing like that seems to exist

Me on BlueSky vs me in real life.

Do yall remember when apple rolled out Face ID for when you’re wearing a mask? Well they trained an AI to identify you based on your brows, eyes, and nose bridge. This is important to remember when thinking about how Luigi was caught at that McDonalds which was most likely using AI face recog

Hell yeah they can

I'm calling it now: gonna come down to bezos vs musk and musk is gonna take it

Me logging into bluesky to defend Luigi Mangione's actions against a cruel and unethical for-profit healthcare industry

I don’t want to suck his dick bc he has abs I want to suck his dick bc he murdered a billionaire

🍄 I’ll be you’re 1 up girl 🍄

Did you know that American’s spend 2x as much on healthcare as other industrialized nations but continues to see a worse life expectancy??? This trend has only gotten worse since COVID-19 where it declined to its lowest in over 2 decades

My sense is authorities and many in the media deliberately chose the word “manifesto” early on because it sounds nutty and annoying. Whereas “a note justifying his actions” seems reasonable and something one may read with an open mind

I'm the walmart version of this man in case anyone was wondering...

“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Ken Klippenstein has published Luigi's full manifesto.

As much as I want blue sky to have it yesterday was a prime example that it's still just missing the juice that twitter has when it comes to ground breaking news and memes

If it doesn't have the ability to spread memes and news in the same way it'll never be able to out compete twitter

The game was Among Us in case that wasn't clear

Movie looks so gooooodddddd

There’s a killer Among Us 📮

It's going to be interesting to see how the court case of Luigi Mangione goes down bc usually young attractive white men are prosecuted significantly more leniently than other demographics BUT the powers NEED to punish him harshly (possible death penalty) to scare people away from doing the same
