A note to say @blackamazon.bsky.social and her colleagues warned about this sort of thing many years ago.
"The only thing revealed by this transparency is that social media companies do not give a f*ck about this."

Our attention is the product

There are tutorials in many languages on how to exploit that for profit, not just to stir the pot

AI makes it so easy to exploit now and everyone wins but you
America’s Polarization Has Become the World's Side Hustle
The 'psyops' revealed by X are entirely the fault of the perverse incentives created by social media monetization programs.

The new location update on X revealed what we've all kinda known all along: Republicans have been astroturfing themselves.

watched the roblox ceo interview on hard fork. i know he said he was a fan but it feels like he was just weaponizing that to get the hosts to deescalate when really he was the one spiraling. seems like he expected the joe rogan experience - just a few bros talking gambling with no challenges

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Notice how adding water is bad.

Follow the instructions that come with your turkey fryer. Use your turkey fryer away from your home. Have a working fire extinguisher.

This is an actual attempt at democratic deliberation within an organization where members will weigh in. And that's actually a good thing.
While this all looks and feels very messy for NYC-DSA, it certainly beats the current system where almost everything is done behind closed doors at the behest of consultants & the only choice Democratic voters are given are to either get in line or zone the fuck out.

one of the big lessons re conservatives and especially conservative christians is that they are more satisfied by being comparatively better off than others rather than being better off in absolute terms.

they’re perfectly happy to lose if you lose more.
There are a lot of conservstives screaming "THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS" as their lives get measurably worse.

I wrote this piece because I only learned about pelvic floors a few years ago, despite having had one all my life. And then it turned out to be where I store all my issues. And then that turned out to be true for a lot of people www.wired.com/story/the-pe...
The Pelvic Floor Is a Problem
Everyone’s suddenly obsessed with the pelvic floor—physical therapists, MAHA influencers, me. Could this deeply misunderstood body part really be the seat of so much modern dysfunction?

Today, @washingtonpost.com is hosting a Global Women’s Summit.

Meanwhile, the @postguild.bsky.social is protesting and raising awareness about the fact that the Washington Post illegally fired me, its only Black woman opinion columnist, for doing my job.

Salute to the Guild.
Shame on the Post.
