Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok.

They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post.

They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets.

“Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

“America’s literacy crisis is not just an education issue—it is an economic issue, a crime issue, a public health issue, and a democracy issue. It is at the heart of almost every major problem the country faces, and yet, it remains shockingly overlooked.”

The Illiteracy Epidemic…

The Illiteracy Epidemic: Why Half of America Struggles to Read (and What It Means for the Future) – Global Watchdog

Over 50% of U.S. adults read below a 6th-grade level. Illiteracy is wrecking the economy, democracy, and lives. How did we let this happen? Read the shocking truth!

"Teaching about AI technologies

Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia

Under the banner of progress, products have been uncritically adopted or even imposed on users — in past centuries with tobacco and combustion engines, and in the 21st with social media. For these col...

"...If so many developers are so extraordinarily productive using these tools, where is the flood of shovelware?"

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up

78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

I think this is a more or less up-to-date map of the businesses, LLCs, and people associated with the Trump family crypto projects.

Extremely tangled diagram depicting relationships between nine LLCs, seven major companies, the Trump family, Bill Zanker and various other individuals, and various crypto projects including the $TRUMP memecoin, NFTs, World Liberty Financial, and the new Trump wallet
