Our ability to comprehend daily events has been corrupted by a toxic info environment where political & attentional dynamics distort & manipulate our “collective sensemaking” processes. Our “official” sources are now products of that same environment. Reality fractures, along with the social fabric.

Mark is right, although I confess I am a hypocrite here, for I wholly support the "remigration" of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. They have failed to assimilate to our cultural norms and instead have tried to impose their foreign backwards ways upon us, and so must be removed to protect our heritage.
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white.
*Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.

We have an air purifier thats set to run whenever it detects lower air quality including from things like cooking, smoke, etc. But occasionally I'll just walk past it & it immediately powers up full blast, & i don't think a machine should be allowed to roast you in your own home like that.

Horrifying story on Meta's AI "companion" preying on vulnerable people--a man with cognitive issues post-stroke who traveled to NYC to "meet" the companion at its urging, who fell and died. And its preying on children.
