@adenng.com's first video on AltNPS was an exhaustively researched dive into the topic, and this is a great follow-up that I think hits on some really important aspects of this strange, fascinating, infuriating subject.

Part 2 of my deep dive into AltNPS. We look at the phenomena and full shady history of AltNPS accounts as a whole, some of the more problematic fallout of unchecked idolatry, and the dangers of misinformation in fandoms. And maybe finally answer, "Who is AltNPS?" (Credit in 🧵)

Some of the most alarmist takes on Rad's limited battery recall are coming from pedalers who have never liked that Rad (or anyone) sells bikes with throttles. They would rather see 1% of the population pedaling than 100% of the population using throttle-powered bikes to get where they want to go.

Jamelle is 100% wrong about Rogue One but the reaction he's getting over it is absolutely worth overlooking said bad opinion about a silly kid's movie franchise

The whole business model is just rage bait at this point. Just don’t engage with these people.

If Trump makes this happen, it will all be worth it
“Trump appears to want to revive the raucous comedies and action movies of the late 1980s to late 1990s. He’s passionate, for instance, about the 1988 Jean Claude Van Damme sports flick Bloodsport.”
A person directly familiar with the conversations tells Semafor that Donald Trump has personally pressed Larry Ellison to revive Brett Ratner's "Rush Hour" franchise.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Amazon retail margins are slim and they fully understand this will lead to unprecedented return rates. That's the reason
Amazon has ordered Perplexity to halt its AI shopping agent, which was making unauthorized purchases on the Amazon platform.
Perplexity's agent allowed users to request purchases, such as "buy the best noise-canceling headphones," and then researched and purchased items on Amazon.
