HOW the Left “meets the moment” is left to interpretation. I only know it won’t be the politics of the past, the policies and slogans that were sufficient before. After all, they led us here. It’s not just about catching voters on the rebound. Dems need to make deep change - or MAGA WILL return.

It’s easy for the Democratic Party to recognize that the status quo’s been shattered on the Right. Why it thinks the same doesn’t apply on its side of the aisle is beyond me. How reassuring, as if voters just want a return to “norms”. They don’t. Either the Left meets the moment, or the Right wins.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.

I get the feeling nobody’s home @support.bsky.team

Is anyone there, @bsky.app ? I’m requesting the addition of an authenticator app option (app to be chosen by user).

Bsky said it detected suspicious activity & had me reset my password. The code I needed from Bsky took a long time to show up. I spent the time thinking about security holes. I now use an authenticator app for X. Why not @support.bsky.team?

Brace for another wave of x refuges

& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts
and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model.
Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks.
• Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader.
Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

1) This is dead platform theory. It'll just be Grok-optimized bots talking to Grok-optimized bots

2) Since Elon controls what Grok thinks and likes, this is a shortcut for Elon deciding what everyone likes and sees without actual users having any influence.

X has now been crafted into a Elon Musk echo chamber, his Grok AI will now determine what get's promoted

So it no longer matters if you have a large following, if you don't align with Elon Musk, your content will not be seen

Time to finally abandon that hate fuelled site

They also used to add white lead (lead carbonate) or chalk to poor quality milk in the early 1900s to make it appear white instead of watered down or full of pus from infected cow teats. The people who long for pre regulation (PFDA) times don't know what they're missing.

The difference is that Russia’s seduction of the US Left started a century ago. Along with ideology, that’s why the US Left never won power. But Putin knew there were more authoritarians on the Right anyway. With Russian communism & atheism now out of the mix the GOP’s stopped talking about freedom.

The DSA candidate may win the NYC mayor’s race, making the group more prominent. That could bring more attention to aspects of its platform few cared about before. If the group ever becomes mainstream it might have trouble maintaining its pro-Russia stance; OTOH that wasn’t the case with the Right.

Small parties and groups here, from far Right to libertarian to Democratic Socialists of America, were easily infiltrated and hijacked. America was probably the top target; another reason is that so few here were watching. It’s basically a two-party system. Small groups go unnoticed in shady corners
