Someone needs to explain this to Elon Musk too tbh
Yeah I donโt really understand the point of those stunts either tbh except perhaps showing skeptics that itโs capable of a lot more than they might think? For reproducibility those sorts of things could bc interesting.
I have avoided this debate aside from reading the Substacks bc Iโm not really part of the academy in the way you all are but โthe peer-reviewed journal article as a primary unit of academic production is indeed probably deadโ โ I do believe this is true. And AI is a useful tool for subtasks atm.

His account didnโt get taken down. His tweets stayed up. Did they get labeled? Maybe, I donโt care enough to go look atm. But a label isnโt censorship โ thatโs also more speech.
When MAGA says โfree speechโ they mean for them, to lie, without the bare minimum of pushback. Everyone sees that now.
She also said she used to be Charlie Kirkโs lawyer ๐ & that we put him on a โcensorship listโ.
No, sweetheart. We made a list of top bullshitters in the 2020 election AFTER the election, by looking at who spread what rumors. Your boy was on it. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Under Secretary ... This is a great complement to @X's community notes system, which results in less "reach" (thus monetization) for content annotated as inaccurate. You don't need a Ministry of Truth to incentivize truth online.

Happy to see Sarah Rogers, who was lying in a hearing yesterday ab Stanford Internet Observatory being part of a cabal of Stasi NGOS (what?), come out in support of my past argument ab โfreedom of speech not freedom of reachโ & the importance of supplementing CN w/ incentives. Glad we agree, Sarah!

The NYT is too afraid of offending conspiratorial populist freeloaders to use plain language.
They have religious exemptions. That means the parents are liars, tbc, because no major religions object to vaccinesโฆbut they do usually have moral objections to lying!
People lying ab their religion are putting other peopleโs kids & the broader community at risk in schools w/21% MMR uptake rates.
On February 22, 2026, Naval Ravikant tweeted: "If you're unwilling to defend your country in time of war, then you're a tourist, not a citizen." As of March 3, 2026, the tweet has been deleted.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say itโs a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. Youโre a farmer โ you donโt castrate a goat, they behave badly.
Did you read the article you shared? Idk I thought it was obvious why this is Bad Actually.
What do you think the winnerโs opinion on J6 is?
Lmfao the guy who isnโt an election denier and wasnโt endorsed by Trump lost.
This is one of the stupidest posts Iโve seen on this site in a while. Why do you think he lost, exactly? What do you think is going to happen next?
What if we rebranded "pasteurization" as a cleanse for your raw milk and "fluoridation" as supplements for your water?

I got myself 3 little brooches for my bday. I really only wanted *one*โwhich Iโd hunted for a yearโ but I was like, seller has good deals, why not. Treat yourself.
I left them on the counter overnight. Cats decided they were toys. The one I wanted has now been MIA for 24 hours. She hides things. ๐ซ
I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading โthis is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situationโ without assuming it comes with an implicit โand therefore I endorse the reality of that situationโ
Yup. Iran and Saudi Arabia regularly ran influence operations against each other. We wrote about those too.
The larger lesson from the thread is true.

I wrote about them hacking his campaign in 2024 and have some history of their prior efforts in here. EIPโs websites also still have the operational analyses. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/iran...
