The GOP turn America into Russia.
1. Normalize meta-magical thinking. Easy votes and funding.
2. Replace information with firehosing. A propaganda method.
3. Add fascist loyalists in key positions. Steal your tax dollars.
They spew #JobsJobsJobs while they #RobRobRob.

Too late.
1/4 of single family homes are already there.
The American Dream doesn’t belong to Wall Street. It belongs to the American people.
Thanks to President Trump and Scott Bessent, families don’t have to worry about getting out-bid on their dream homes by private equity barons. And we’re making those same big investors give financial support to families buying their first homes.

No need to respond if the allegations were false.
#GrifterAlert
.@VanityFair posted an excerpt from a book containing outrageous and categorically false allegations.
The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened. We denied every one of these claims on the record, yet the author failed to provide a single shred of evidence to substantiate any of them. No bank statements, wire transfer records, account numbers, transaction dates, or other verifiable details were provided to support these extraordinary accusations.
During the period in question, I was one of the most scrutinized people in the world, subjected to intense media coverage, multiple congressional investigations, and a special counsel investigation. I voluntarily cooperated with these investigations, providing over 30 hours of testimony. None of these allegations ever surfaced, because none of these events ever happened.
These are outrageous fabrications being presented as investigative journalism. This is not journalism. It is a mixture of fantasy, fiction, and advocacy, written by someone who is either deeply disturbed or acting with sinister intent.
Words and Odors trigger a disgust response in our #LimbicSystem. Our #BasalGanglia lights up.
This mind trick explains GOPs constant repetition of dog whistles to emotional voters. It works.
They use science AGAINST their voters. Spread the word.
This is one of Tim Snyder’s best interviews. As a veteran of combating authoritarian cults for 50 years, I can say he is so right that we need to use values and words that elicit morality and believe in a better future! theguardian.com/us-news/vide…
Thnx for the repost.
Gullibility is an ancient survival mechanism.
So is narcissism.
Explains the mess we're in.
Great videos from Mr. Dibble BTW.
Dots.
Lines.
Patterns.
Book sales.
Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson think they’ve connected the dots on Atlantis in the Azores. The problem?
The dots are real. The lines are not.
I went through the geology, the Younger Dryas, flood myths, the Azores, Taş Tepeler, “quackademics,” and the claim that archaeology is suppressing the truth.
And somehow, after all that…they still haven’t found Atlantis.

#Yandex broadcast dip of slopaganda.
They will just ramp up again.
#DataCenters
The topic of the day has been the strikes on Yandex data centers and whether they affect the Russian bot/troll army.
There have been some initial research done on this, and the most interesting finding comes from Reddit: after the strikes, many US-related subreddits lost a lot of traffic. Same happened in German and Irish subreddits.
As most of you know, Reddit is one of the most popular sources of information for LLMs, and I have zero doubt that Russians are actively trying to steer conversations across the platform to favor their narratives.
Full analysis and methodology here:

Netflix has 260 million subscribers. Netflix is betting that 250 million of them never open the settings menu.
One guy did. He worked Netflix customer support for 3 years. Handled 15,000 complaints. He told me something that should change the way you watch tonight:
"Every single complaint I got for 3 years was caused by the same 10 settings. Not bugs. Not content. Settings."
"'Why is my picture blurry?' Because Netflix set your streaming quality to Auto — which doesn't mean best quality. It means lowest quality Netflix can get away with before you notice."
"'Why are my recommendations terrible?' Because 3 people are watching on your profile and the algorithm thinks you're one person who loves true crime, kids cartoons, and Korean dramas at the same time."
"'Why does every movie look like a soap opera?' Because a motion smoothing setting you've never seen is turned on — making a $200 million film look like it was shot on a phone."
"'Why do I scroll for 45 minutes and give up?' Because autoplay previews are feeding the algorithm false data every single time you pause on a thumbnail. Netflix thinks you're interested. You were just reading the description."
"I spent 3 years answering the same 10 complaints. Every single time the fix was the same: 'Let me walk you through your settings.' Every single time the customer said: 'Why didn't Netflix tell me this?'"
"Because Netflix makes more money when you scroll. Not when you find something."
Here are 10 Netflix settings that are ruining your experience right now — and exactly how to fix each one in under 5 minutes:

Science is hard to explain simply because the real world isn't designed for human convenience.
Be less gullible.
Speaking at a Republican convention in Dallas, US President Donald Trump said the $5,000 dividend would be issued to adult citizens if Republicans win control of the House and Senate in November, adding that the money must be spent in the US.

The word "Truth" only exists because we lie.
More proof that this FBI file is true.
GOP use DARVO to answer EVERY question. It's their plan.
We are pleased to announce that after a very long wait (over 125 years!), we are preparing to start, over the next two-week period, the excavation work necessary for the Great Triumphal Arch and Military Observation Deck, at Memorial Circle on Columbia Island between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. This will be one of the Great Pieces of American Architecture, honoring the history and significance of Arlington Cemetery and befitting the most powerful Capital in the World.
My research.
Our ancient #hardwiring.
We are easily misled by the town Shamans #Words.
Words trigger our ancient disgust emotions. Blaming ballots and Biden is a strategy.
Our need for #Kinship makes us gullible to #Lying.
This is normal behavior.

For those wondering, tires don't broadcast when stationary, it seems. I am picking this up on a 25mph city street about 20M away from a 4-way stop. So it's a great "viewing platform" for cars parading by on a connector street.
Science.
Like magic.
But real.
