The QAnon and MAGA conspiracists imagined the COVID response was a social control experiment. But in reality it was their ideological fellow travelers — and themselves — using social media as a social control/self-radicalization experiment. The whole accusation = projection pattern writ large.

Would love to see some malicious compliance here. Like CostCo runs and ad on twitter that's just a picture of Elmo on a yellow background and the text: "Buy our stuff if you want. We won't make you buy it like Elmo made us buy this ad."

The only remotely useful journalism application I have found for AI tools is as alternative first line search tools to help get around the enshittification Google search. Enshittification itself driven by AI tools.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

In the early 2000s, Google search was so good it felt like magic. I remember marveling at how easily I could find specifics beginning with a vague search string. We’ve gone from Penn & Teller level magic to great uncle trying to pull a quarter from your ear and falling face down in dog shit.

This is a "how the hell did this happen" moment. Dems had 20 years to find bilingual members who could build a messaging machine to really connect with the demo they hoped would turn Texas blue. Instead they took them for granted and managed to fumble that ball to the white nationalists?
