Once again from the top. Billionaire foundations serve two purposes: 1. social license for their profiteering (greenwashing, social-washing etc) 2. to keep the money from public scrutiny and democratic decision-making. Moderna CEO amassing private fortune by overpricing vaccines

More than 80 Russians were killed during Ukrainian HIMARS strike on a school in occupied Lantrativka, Luhansk oblast of Ukraine. Not mobiks, but civilian contractors, who came there to dig trenches and build fortifications.🧵about our new OSINT investigation with @pustota

Conservatives: The reach of our tweets is being limited by a progressive Twitter workforce. Dems: That's an insane conspiracy theory. Bari Weiss: Here are the docs proving this. Dems: Everyone knew this already. It's an -- all together now -- nothing burger.
another problem, which we can already assess with journalism on the web: when you make providing access to information voluntary, mostly sources with agenda setting interests will do so. which, in the case of ai language models, will lead to heavy polical biases.

idiot. very few people will delete their account. actually everybody advices against it b/c someone could claim the user name an impersonate oneself. so like 90 % of users leaving the platform will just cease tweeting.

I have (I presume) mostly liberal followers, my follower count has dropped ~3% since Elon’s takeover (could be my own bad tweets). That's not catastrophic. If that rate of decline keeps up, it's bad. But that could be low-hanging fruit.

I am neither conventionally right nor left, but I agree with your point. The woke mind virus has thoroughly penetrated entertainment and is pushing civilization towards suicide. There needs to be a counter-narrative.

maybe your friend refers to the not so secret fact that cryptocurrencies are actually worthless?

A person I have known for more than ten years, who I consider trustworthy, is convinced the cryptocurrency economy will shortly experience a systemic risk. I don’t know anything concrete, but if I were exposed, I would be concerned.

sure, every ponzi cycle is bigger then the one before. more money, more victims, and richer fraudsters on the run.

Those of us old enough to remember Mt Gox can't help but feel we're repeating history, and understandably but wrongly interpret that as having not made progress. We've made progress. We've made SO MUCH progress.
