Cassie’s content is both hilarious and so politically poignant. Goated creator
last night i attended a “new media” press briefing with Zohran. Someone asked him about his use of humor during the campaign, and he gave me a shoutout in his answer. It put me in such a state that I wrote my first-ever substack cassiewillson.substack.com/p/i-was-the-...

You absolutely should not dismiss the AT Protocol technology that runs this place as boring nerd stuff, because that is the exact technology we are going to need to ensure that usable social media that isn’t controlled by Nazis continues to exist.

Sad to see Angela Collier blame herself for the algorithm directing her content to conspiracy theory viewers who lack the basic skills to understand what she’s talking about.
I and many others love her physics content and it’s clear she loves physics.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum.
This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause
How stable are the gender identities of younger children?

Albanese had a once-in-a-generation opportunity to do a moonshot. The Coalition's a rump, Murdoch has lost most of his local influence, people want action, and hell Albanese's got basically five years left for legacy shopping.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.
