It’s wild watching every advanced agency developed during my lifetime be destroyed on purpose, by people who want to profit from it and cheered on by those who will be hurt the most because they don't understand how things work.

Antisemites find a way to make Jewish people the explanation of everything, even when they don't come out and say it. Regrettably, the financial incentives online reward false information and antisemitic and racist content. Nothing has changed about that, so it's a fair bet the content won't either.

But--and this is a big but--many of the channels banned during COVID were spreading claims that weren't about COVID so much as they were deeply antisemitic and racist. And, while those people might not post false claims bout COVID anymore, antisemitism is the ultimate conspiracy theory.

I'm not opposed to second chances. I actually think they are something necessary in this space. I watch information ecosystems, and they are a living thing. They change over time, and so does the quality of content. Reliable today does not mean reliable tomorrow, and vice versa.

YouTube has opened up a “second chance” program to allow previously banned creators spreading misinformation about COVID and elections to create new channels, after facing pressure from Congress.

That’s the point of this post. A lot of people who are angry understand the difference and are still mad.

Qatar built its influence by protecting and financing groups that want you dead — then laundering that image through the media powerhouses it controls.

Qatar is a friend when it suits them. Pretending otherwise just ensures that when it doesn’t, they’ll draw real blood.

Could you not with the “well aCkShUaLlY, we host other countries at U.S. bases”? There’s a reason people are angry.

Other nations don’t bankroll or shelter groups trying to kill Americans while posing as mediators.

Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime

Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

Please don't @ me about how you dislike this proposal as if it were my first choice. I, too, have dreams about an ideal world I wish I lived in. The difference is that I'm not naive enough to hold out for that.

Broker a deal: The White House sufficiently arms Ukraine that it can take back its land and end the war. Ukraine, in return, nominates him for a Nobel. Everyone goes home happy.

US civil rights agency opens sweeping antisemitism probe - this would investigate actions to withhold funding from certain institutions, most likely in cases where the demands were not related to antisemitism. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Exclusive: US civil rights agency opens sweeping antisemitism probe

A Democrat-led civil rights watchdog agency opened a sweeping investigation into how the federal government has responded to allegations of antisemitism on college campuses, a review that could bring a rare dose of official scrutiny to the Trump administration’s confrontations with Columbia and other universities.

I’m not sure if Russia is spending more money funding Ibrahim Traore stan channels on YouTube or their “three day” super duper special operation, and that might be why they’re losing.

Even the most devoted “alt” health advocates don’t gamble on “alt” aeronautics or “alt” electricians—because the risks are obvious and personal. The irony is that “alt” health itself exists only because mainstream medicine has been so successful people feel safe enough to treat it as optional.

In the last month, I've had multiple college-age girls tell me they are intentionally trying to date millennial men, not because they are older/established, but because they aren't "podcast bros" and they "mostly respect women." One said she'd rather be single than date a Gen Z guy. Just wow.

I was served a video on Instagram warning about "government backdoors" in software. It recommended specific software as secure. The claims bothered me, so I looked into them. The recommended software is based in China and has known vulnerabilities. Seems a little coincidental.

China started its own Visa to outcompete the US for talent since we recently tacked on a $100k fee. The plan they have could work but they are running into considerable domestic opposition. www.wired.com/story/china...

China Rolls Out Its First Talent Visa as the US Retreats on H-1Bs

The Chinese government unveiled a program to woo foreign talent just as the US cracked down on H-1Bs with a $100,000 fee. The move immediately provoked xenophobic backlash.
