Did you know at the height of the conservative backlash of the Reagan years and with the help of the democrats, they started going after artists. And took tiny leftist punk band, Dead Kennedys to court on obscenity charges? Just in case you’re all wondering where we may be headed these next years.

Increasingly it feels like the only way to think about algorithmic media is that it’s a game normal people don’t even know they’re playing

Obama wins 53% of the popular vote and a statute that passed with a Senate supermajority is treated as some kind of illegitimate abuse of the legislative process. Trump wins 49% of the popular vote and Democrats gotta hand it to any ludicrously unqualified crank he nominates to a cabinet position

This single shart by itself shows perfectly how little Elon Musk understands about running any particular enterprise at least as large as a lemonade stand

Elon is going to war with the encyclopedia

Not an overstatement to say Wikipedia is the greatest achievement in information ever. It's also the backbone of the internet. Google doesn't work without it, for instance. It's kind of the last, best thing really working for humans on the shared knowledge front. Can't let him mess with this.

Oops — Elon slips up and says “I” while whining about loomer from his “Adrian” burner account

maybe the single most damaging thing the internet ever did was expose rich assholes to what everyone else actually thought of them, because every last one of them lost their fucking minds and is determined to burn the world to the ground in order to stop us making fun of them

manipulating wikipedia has been a longstanding project of the nazi alt-right. on 4chan they used to post instructions about how to use scripts to fix typos on wikipedia to create a helpful-looking history and parlay that into moderator privileges so you can insert nazi stuff onto the platform

It seems pointless to say this On Here, where everyone knows it already, but: the GOP of 2024 that was going to protect Matt Gaetz from disclosure of his statutory rape and sex trafficking, and was going to make him the country's chief LEO, is allegedly obsessed with preventing "grooming." 1/

i'm not a political strategist but it could not be clearer that everyone including the press calling elon musk the shadow president/chief lawmaker is the absolute quickest way for him to overstay his welcome in Trumpland

it really is something to go and look back at some of the 1/6 statements from people who've gone straight back to bending the knee

Remember, we heard from multiple GOP House members that Gaetz bragged about a lot of this on the House floor. But they were still fine with him being Trump’s AG pick.

Here it is. Gaetz spent more than $90,000 on 12 different prostitutes, including twice raping one who just completed her junior year of HS and was underage. Others testified that the rampant use of drugs impaired their ability to consent at his drug laden parties. www.cbsnews.com/news/matt-ga...
