Renee DiResta

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

You did an awesome job getting it this far

Mike Benz — Frame Game — laying out his operating philosophy in his own voice.

A pathological liar who duped one rube after another. Matt Taibbi. Jacob Siegel. They legitimized him, then never walked back anything they wrote. Just quietly pretended they’d never taken him seriously as a source lol.

Did you know the CIA & Army engaged in a shootout in Germany over servers that had the REAL vote count?

No bc it never happened. But “real vote count is on a server elsewhere” is the sort of thing you’re likely to hear again when they tell us voting machines are “suspect” to justify their EO.

Since we got “Iran interfered in the election!” as a justification for war, have Maduro sitting in jail, and Tulsi was snuffling around Georgia looking for “evidence” of god knows what—here are the Chinese, Vezuelan, Italian, Iranian, etc conspiracy theories liars in power are dredging back up. 📡💻🗳️

Playing a family game of Clue and the 5yo is contributing by periodically just yelling MUSTARD!!! like she’s Kendrick.

You need to read this thread

Jay Bhattacharya should not have been allowed anywhere near NIH leadership

He has shown—over & over—that he will impede the careers of early career researchers

He told my Duke colleague, a young post-doc who studies health disparities, that his science was “bad”

“Don’t pick a fight with Jay please, Renee.” — the fight was “picked” in the opposite direction. They were afraid of him. And here we are.

He spoke at NatCon — I was in the audience. It was a whole bunch of whining about how 1A was dead because SCOTUS tossed his bullshit case.

Jay is a perpetually aggrieved bullshit artist and Stanford treated him with kid gloves while asking us not to defend ourselves against his accusations.

Judge rules Kari Lake unlawfully ran U.S. media agency, voiding layoffs Sweeping layoffs at Voice of America made by Trump appointee Kari Lake were declared void by a federal judge, who said she served unlawfully.

Kari Lake, incompetent and also unlawfully appointed? Happy Saturday night.

Thanks! He’s 3, I hope it gets longer. His dad had a full mane.

Yup

A blue smoke Maine coon with ear tufts looks at the camera from inside a small box

He is too big for the box but determined to make it work.

#Caturday. Behemoth squeezes himself into a box.

Those playgrounds are all over this isn’t hard to find

Under Secretary ... This is a great complement to @X's community notes system, which results in less "reach" (thus monetization) for content annotated as inaccurate. You don't need a Ministry of Truth to incentivize truth online. Nikita Bier & @nikitabier • Mar 3 Today we are revising our Creator Revenue Sharing policies to maintain authenticity of content on Timeline and prevent manipulation of the program.

Happy to see Sarah Rogers, who was lying in a hearing yesterday ab Stanford Internet Observatory being part of a cabal of Stasi NGOS (what?), come out in support of my past argument ab “freedom of speech not freedom of reach” & the importance of supplementing CN w/ incentives. Glad we agree, Sarah!

Sayer Ji is the GreenMedInfo nut who was married to women’s wellness nut Kelly Brogan.

Ji is currently a try-hard trying to get Imran Ahmed deported, too.

Someone needs to explain this to Elon Musk too tbh

Yeah I don’t really understand the point of those stunts either tbh except perhaps showing skeptics that it’s capable of a lot more than they might think? For reproducibility those sorts of things could bc interesting.

I have avoided this debate aside from reading the Substacks bc I’m not really part of the academy in the way you all are but “the peer-reviewed journal article as a primary unit of academic production is indeed probably dead” — I do believe this is true. And AI is a useful tool for subtasks atm.

His account didn’t get taken down. His tweets stayed up. Did they get labeled? Maybe, I don’t care enough to go look atm. But a label isn’t censorship — that’s also more speech.

When MAGA says “free speech” they mean for them, to lie, without the bare minimum of pushback. Everyone sees that now.

She also said she used to be Charlie Kirk’s lawyer 👀 & that we put him on a “censorship list”.

No, sweetheart. We made a list of top bullshitters in the 2020 election AFTER the election, by looking at who spread what rumors. Your boy was on it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pointing that out isn’t “censorship” it’s speech.

Mark Twain, yeah? Ben Franklin. Or Lincoln.

Tarot TikToker must pay $10M to professor she accused in Moscow murders, jury says A judge had already decided the tarot card reader was guilty of defamation. On Friday, a jury decided how much she owes in damages.

Good. More of this.

The NYT is too afraid of offending conspiratorial populist freeloaders to use plain language.

They have religious exemptions. That means the parents are liars, tbc, because no major religions object to vaccines…but they do usually have moral objections to lying!

People lying ab their religion are putting other people’s kids & the broader community at risk in schools w/21% MMR uptake rates.

On February 22, 2026, Naval Ravikant tweeted: "If you're unwilling to defend your country in time of war, then you're a tourist, not a citizen." As of March 3, 2026, the tweet has been deleted.

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Did you read the article you shared? Idk I thought it was obvious why this is Bad Actually.
