Notre sociologue toujours très proche du vrai monde et loin des élites mondialisées dine ici dans une petite cantine modeste avec des ouvriers et des couturières d'une chaîne de montage. On y fabrique la haine et le ressentiment.
Hooo, mais regardez qui est au milieu !
Ça ne serait pas notre polémiste d’extrême droite québécois, à ce déjeuner avec l’extrême droite française ?

Adam Zivo has thoughts on "chasing social and professional clout."
Looks like Adam has diversified from drug policy to gender and identity.
But let’s be real, many of the commentators polarizing issues while identifying as journalists are just attention seeking individuals chasing social and professional clout…

Sally Rooney says she will be unable to publish books in UK while Palestine Action banned
Author tells high court her public support for group means her books could disappear from UK stores altogether
The Irish author Sally Rooney has told the high court she is highly unlikely to be able to publish new work in the UK while the ban on Palestine Action remains in effect because of her public support for the group.
On the second day of the legal challenge to Palestine Action’s proscription, the effect on Rooney, who said her books could disappear from UK stores altogether, was held up as an example of its impact on freedom of expression. Continue reading...

In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

13k comments on one tweet is a massive payout. All of the tweets follow a certain formula, so the content is likely automated using AI technology (e.g., AI generated images and text). Basically running it as a money printing machine. But for those in the US, it translates to low simmering rage.

La idea de X produciendo una externalizacion del racismo en la que personas racializadas en países de lo que por aquí llamamos "tercer mundo" sueltan mierda racista en cuentas fake para llegar a fin de mes de verdad que no me la esperaba.
I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

i'm gonna start combing thrift stores for anything with the DOGE logo because nobody is gonna want to admit it actually happened soon enough
It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.
